New MilanMania site.

I was watching other AC Milan related websites and in one of them there was abt other well known 'AC Milan sites ' on internet. A litle bit description with every site. MM was also mentioned there and in its description it was stated that "a cpuple of years back MM was the BEST (unofficial) AC Milan website on net but now its not like that but its community is still going strong" I just wonder what happened to MM????? Most of the links apart from the forum link in the main page are not working I am sure members like me who joind MM in the recent years would like to know abt MM dat why it has fallen off from being the best over all website of AC Milan

I've shown Rez a sample of a free chat I'm familiar with. Once we get the server issue settled, we'll look into chat. Main thing I'm going for is FREE b/c I know usage will be somewhat limited. When we had chat in the past the main usage was during games. Second issue to me is that it can handle quyite a few users and the one I've been using elsewhere has been able to handle 40+ users at once. We'll keep you posted!

One thing that happened to MM a few years ago was the the original creator of the site--Jan, a fan from Denmark-- basically vanished due to problems in his personal life, INCLUDING being in debt to the server he was using to the tune of several thousand dollars. We were lucky to save what we could of the original MM site, which is why alot of the "main page" doesn't work. We've asked for help re-creating those pages, the only person to come forward has been Graeme. I can't re-write all the stuff that was on there. So we're left figuring out what this site should be like. The main portion, and to me the important portion is the forum, and luckily back when a group of us were forced into taking over and finding a new server, we were able to keep the forum pretty much intact.

Also historically we'll get regular users who decide that instead of sticking aorund and helping to solve the real or imagined problem of "poor quality posting", they'd rather jump ship and go someplace else to whine and complain aobut this forum. If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem, it's as simple as that!

So aside from the....ahem...other answers posted....that's the reason our main page is in the state its in!

So u wana say I am one of the reasons ?? If really want me to leave MM once and for all, I will leave it.

Don't jump on me, I'm not the 2 people who made the comments I was jokingly referring to. Other than that, you're so welcome for the explanation. Another other criticism of the site?

I havent forgotten My plan is in the next couple of weeks design and make a "working" milanmania site. I would have liked to have done it earlier but with uni stuff its been hard. Like debs said the most difficult thing is to rely on one person to come up with content for the pages, but im up having a go.

Thanks Graeme!!

For me the words said by a soccer fan whose HERO is a thing like d!da means less compared to the words said by the fan whose choice is Paolo Maldini

Plus don't for get she will be banned sooner of later bcoz of one or another reason But U r the owner of MM so if the Boss wants me to leave then its means I have to leave I hope u understand now

Another other criticism of the site?

U got be kidding me U call it a criticism???? When i saw that on another website, I felt very sorry. I have been here for more than a year so definitely being a proud member and THE BEST PUNDIT of MM I must know abt the reasons of its slight decline

mzk, if someone found a cure for cancer and was a Dida fan, you'd get your Pampers in a knot over that as well. Could you easily take over from Debs and run this forum? I didn't think so. So quit griping.

So u wana say I am one of the reasons ?? If really want me to leave MM once and for all, I will leave it.

I'm tempted to agree with you, but if you did leave, we all wouldn't have someone to pick on anymore. So please stay.

your welcome! il have a go, i might take my site down, and put it up on graemechidgey.com. I have wordpress on there, so it might be quicker just doing that.

If you did put it up on your site, we could use it as a test run. Just let us know!

yeah sure, the problem im having atm is that the design i made cannot be directly put into wordpress. I have to build the wordpress site first, then change the design which is a pain. Im trying to find a "webzine" wordpress theme which will allowed us to have a cover story and substories.

Graeme C...may the force be with you!!
