Hi
Now that South Yorkshire Forum has gone to pvs is there any chance that this forum could incorporate a South Yorkshire section?
Thanks

SY-Transport Forum was going that way for couple of years now. Be nice to see this site pick up the area.

A south yorkshire section would be very nice to have , there were a lot of idiots on the SYT forum but it will be missed by me (been a member here since 2013 and been a reader but this is my first post )

Think it around 2014 when it went down hill from lot of idiots. Some are them are nice and work for transport, and meet some friends off the site.

This site seems to be short of mods as well, sy went down to one from three and this forum seems to have lost it's admin as well, maybe it needs to expand to a Yorkshire forum.

What happened to the South Yorkshire forum? Admin and another mod left in October 2014 with no warning, it has been trundling along ever since with just Duncan as a mod tidying it up. On Saturday it finally went offline whether this was deliberate or not who knows but it hasn't been back since.

Following the sudden apparent removal of the SY forum, we are currently looking into the situation and will get back shortly with an update. Thanks to all those above who have brought this to our attention, and for the support already shown for this forum as being able to continue SY coverage.
Incidentally, in reply to a post above, I just wanted to clarify that whilst "Admin" accounts are often seen on many forums, I personally only use this as an invisible account for maintenance etc. For those who aren't aware, the Admin account is actually me but I prefer to use my own personal account for general activity (as do Tim and Jamie). I just thought this worth mentioning, as I didn't want there to be an impression that some unknown entity had long ago abandoned this forum!

Could it be that the domain name has expired, as I can still view the posts as a visitor, using www.travelsy.proboards.com, but can't log in, but if I use the Proboards app, I can log in and post.

Sorry I forgot the mod who was left no it wasn't Duncan but I forget the one who was left to keep it going.

I have been popping in the site, but just saying "This site can’t be reached". So got to wait and see what happen next couple of weeks.
Just thinking of the good times now if the site just goes.

A south yorkshire section would be very nice to have , there were a lot of idiots on the SYT forum but it will be missed by me (been a member here since 2013 and been a reader but this is my first post )No matter where, every forum has it's fair share of idiots. There's plenty on here, maybe i'm one. But, you've got to look beyond that, and enjoy these forum's for what they are. Not sure i'd be so keen on a SY section though, being a WY resident i'm only interested in WY transport news. I signed up to the Travel West Yorkshire forum, albeit now inc North & East Yorks. I'm of the opinion that incorporating South Yorkshire would make it an all "Yorkshire" forum, and that could possibly dilute, what myself and several others signed up for, i,e specialist WY news.

Sadly though there's not much to say that a similar thing won't happen again with our (the SY) forum - what it needs is a proper team of mods and more activity to sustain it however both are increasingly unlikely - I'm aware that "Admin" on the SY forum has said that he's got big plans including a new admin team but tbh I can't see that happening - this is the first time that said person has visited the forum in around two years. Whilst this is primarily supposed to be a West Yorkshire, it already includes the other two parts which dare I say are neglected forum wise (without doing any further research) - maybe having a Yorkshire transport forum may be the way forwards? If it's split into regional sections say, I can't see why having the fourth and final region would dilute the news of what already comes in.

I'm pleased to see that the TSY forum is back in action, as a result we don't intend to make any changes to this forum.

Sorry to bring this topic back up. But there have been no changes to moderation team, or to the site as Admin promised.
I reckon TSY and this site should merge into one new site for across the Yorkshire network.
