hi everyone
does anyone know the real reason why they shut down the Manly forum on the MWSE site?
was it to save $$?

Whats the go with that Dan?
..  lol WAM .. i agree with you..WAMF link said:They shut it down because deep, deep down, they care little for the members once they have your $$$ in the bank.
The decent thing to do would have been to keep it running(yes, that may have meant it cost $$) until the end of the year when memberships expire for 2010.
They could have then properly disengaged the forum from the membership packages in their promotion of the 2011 packages.
There is a right way to do things and it doesn't matter what twist people add, this just wasn't done right and the proof is in the amount of foul tasting mouths out there.
I personally don't subscribe to the brand damage theory.
The club already took the step of removing the forum from public view and made it only available to paid up members.
Performances on and off the field by those employed by the club dictate the strength of the brand, not the supporters. Feed me another one.

So they decided the best way to keep the traffic down from their outdated and poorly maintained website was to close the forum.
That way less people would see that the Members News hadn't been updated since March and the only wallpaper you can download is from 2008.
