Happy Wanderer and the future of WWays

As you have all noticed, the site isn't what it used to be

HW has serious health issues and doesn't have the time or ability to maintain the site

Im sure you all wish Neil well in his battle to overcome his illness

He started WW a long time ago, and would hate to see the site die. For this reason, he has accepted the offer I put to him to keep the site going - its way beyond me, but I believe we have the skills on board to get things fettled

Hopefully, he gets better and is able to take over the reins once again, but for now, efforts are being made to take over HWs permissions

We dont know how much work is involved in getting the site back to how it was, but we are definitely going to find out

We know we need to pay some bills such as some software updates...I think that solves the log in issues people are having and hopefully gets the other site features back

Until we can speak to a third party who currently 'controls' the site, we cant say much more

Simply because we dont know!

However, we now have his details and over the coming days, we can hopefully progress things and get the site back to where it was before Neils illness took hold

Once we know what is required, we can further update

  • Happy to chip in lads. This site has been an invaluable source of BWFC updates and TV/film recommendations to me out in the colonies over the years. All the best to Neil in his battle.
