Burnley website

Bob Dobson · 25-09-2010, 19:42

I have looked at websites for towns other than Accrington. None can hold a candle to Accyweb.

Today I learned that a website previously known as Burnleyweb has changed its name and is now Lancashire-online. Although Burnley-orientated at present, the webmaster hopes to attract material for the forum from across the county and beyond. He is clearly putting a lot of time into the site and deserves praise for this. I am full of admiration for our webmaster and his aides.They have achieved a top site and work hard at keeping it that way.

Burnleyweb has been rather run down for years.

And I don't think this is the first time for lancashire-online - ISTR that name from neil there several years ago.

imo giving it a makeover will not get i any more posters.

I agree Bob, Burnley Web should be really good but it's very hit and miss

It was Lancashire on Line when I first joined in 2007, as you say its gone down over the years it was quite busy when I first joined. Neal who runs the site (and others) has work really hard to make it work, but when nobody use it the games up. It actually shows just what a good product Roy has got here in Accy Web, can't think there is a comparable site anywhere which has over 18000 members and still growing and has as much traffic as it does, think we all owe Roy a big thank you

Most big towns have similar active forums.

Although I wonder how many of the 18k members actually post? I bet most of them joined because of the footy club.

I would also suggest that Accyweb is far more succesful because of the integrated Stanley section.

Maybe a factor Dave but I think Accy Web would be very successful in its own right without the Stanley section as there are lots of people who never set foot in that section

Add it to your growing 'ignore' list, or start posting on Burnley web, they could do with a dedicated poster like you.

Mmm but stanley section is popular and a major reason for postings & new members also interest - yours truelly joined because of stanley section

Many stanley people dont go into main sections becaue of in house snipers & politics and they may feel same about general sections but they dont complain about it
