• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Where will people go after this?
Just so I know where to avoid! 😆🤣
Have really enjoyed the conversations and observations of people here and it’s sad that this is ending.
 
I’m gutted this place is going. I can set up a new forum also, but I’ve got a young boy and another on the way imminently. I don’t have the time to run a site on my own at this point in my life. I’ve seen a fair few posters who say they’re capable but not willing to solely take on the responsibility.

I’m happy to get involved with a group of people working together to get a new forum set up. Because it will be a shame to see this community get scattered like it will be if there is no replacement. I’m guessing the current mods will be happy to continue in a new forum?

There’s definitely enough willing and skills to get a new site up and running if we can get a working group together.
 
To add to that Phil has done such a fantastic job all this time. It’s humongous boots to fill. This community is massive and it would be a very daunting task for any person to take it on and try to match what Phil has managed to do.

So I think if people are serious about wanting to keep a home for this community. There should be a collective effort to make that happen. I’m very new to this site posting wise, long time lurker. But I really don’t want to see it go and I’m willing to do my bit to keep it going. I just can’t do it on my own.
 
I can't commit to running it on my own, but I'd like to help keep this place running.

Perhaps someone would like to set up a thread for those willing to commit so there's a good idea of how many, and what skills they have to band together.
Yeah definitely need to get some kind of meeting together for people interested I think.

We would also need to ensure people on this site would be willing to move to a new one. As I understand Phil is unwilling to pass over the reigns for this one.
