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.

Hope HW fully recovers, good luck fella.

I am hoping we will be back to website normality within a few days. 

More than happy to chuck in when needed. Used to pay a yearly payment but happy with whatever way is needed

Hope Happy is doing well and makes a good recovery  

Get well Happy, you've a championship return to enjoy when you're ready 

Get well soon Neil.

Awfully sorry to hear about Neil being unwell. Best wishes if you see this pal. 
 
Growing up an “out of towner” Bolton fan, WW had given me many connections and life long friendships I’d not have had otherwise, so happy to contribute/help the site if I can, even tho I’m not on here much anymore 

Get well soon Neil

All the best to Neil, wishing for a full recovery.

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness!

PS - happy to chip in if needs be!

I am just trying to keep forum members in the loop about what is going on.

A few people have mentioned funding

Its not a priority at the moment

For one we dont know any costs!

this was just about getting the site going

Any of the donation methods will, so far as we know, still direct to HW, which is good (If you donate, i dont think we will know, so pls pm me and ill ensure you get it credited to your account asap)

For the record, we asked if we could help neil in any way and he just said to get the site back online

Wishing Neil all the best. Without knowing the full extent of his condition, I hope he can make a full recovery. The Premier League is just 2 seasons away. I’d love to share a table with him in one of the suites again. 
I’ll pay. 

Just managed to get back in.

All the best Happy and thanks to all those that have helped get the site back up and running.

Just need to know if & when payments need redirecting. 

Great stuff everyone involved in getting us back on the road.

Will be a weight of Neils mind. Get well soon.

 

Best wishes to Happy, a credit to the man he was concerned about keeping this place going in a time of adversity - get well soon Father of this house x

Good work guys and thank you. 

I hope that Neil recovers.

Just realised the page numbers work again, don't have to manually enter page numbers into the address bar anymore, finally!

Get well soon HW.
