The Northern Duttoneers Website CLOSES DOWN

[The Northern Duttoneer's]

30th of April 2012 see the last day of www.thenorthernduttoneers.com after 15 months it will all be gone. Why? because Mircosoft Office Live is changing to Office 365, and asking for £6.99 per month to migrate and continue to use the site on the new business package. No good for what we have used the site for.

I have downloaded the contents to build a new site in the near future, but for now it will be deleted by Microsoft at midnight on the 30th, if you want any of the contents e.g. Tips, build diaries, or photos please feel free to copy them.

We will keep you all informed of things we are up to in the North, through the forum on here. I have retained the domain name www.thenorthernduttoneers.com so the site will be back, in the meantime you can contact us here or direct at [e-mail] . Thanks for your support over the last 15 months and Thanks for read about our adventures.

The Northern Duttoneers.

Microsoft (insert expletives at will) 

I will broach the subject of hosting it for you at the AGM Dave.

Dave A please take note for the AOB section.

i am going to have to get organised.......website domain and presence is on the cards for discussion anyway (more than one request)

Another good reason for us to amalgamate all three Dutton sites into one all singing, all dancing site. Lets face it, the majority of activity is now on one site anyway, because we like reading and talking about our common interests, and you have to post where people will give you feed back, as much as I like Mr G's site, I see no point in posting where there is little or no activity. With one good site, DOC can be better represented, the Northern Duttoneers can have their own section, and who knows there may even be a Southern Duttoneers one day ! 

I know I keep banging on about it, so no rude comments :-)   

[Dave Adams]

each site has its merits, i am not overly fond of this site for the following reason searching for previous posts is a pain and current topics can overwhelm some threads.......

[Paul Sheridan]

I agree Dave. but we all congregate here......why?  because when the bulk of the people/club are all on one site,  sharing what we do and enjoy, and getting some feed back from our posts, it's a good feeling.

There, her indoors is telling me to get off me soap box,  now i'm going to have to take even more blood preassure pills tomorrow.

Well surprise! surprise! The Northern Duttoneers website is still live 5 days after the close down deadline. I can still access on update it, so please keep visiting. fingers crossed it may stay live, only thing I can no longer see are the visitor reports and stats but I can live with that.

[Ed Townend]

I can mirror it (download a copy and host it myself) for a while if you like? You won't be able to edit it any more but as a reference could be handy?

what now happens to all the info that was on the site  i was looking at a sierra thread last night .. and thought i,d take another look when i have more time..

any sierra info will be gratefully recieved,,

Just an Idea ......... the Ning site, as is used here is the  basic version and costs very little per year to run. If the full version is far more customisable, and a section can be allocated to The Northern Dutoneers so we can all follow their exploits and maybe other groups around the country.  Would the members on here be prepared to share the cost of the full version ?   I would, who else?
