    Bristol Rovers Fans' Forum is currently unavailable

    CLUB HAS DECIDED TO SUSPEND THE FORUM ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE

    For a number of months, and certainly since the end of the season, there have been a number of threads and posts on our forum featuring libelous comments, misinformation concerning club affairs, directors and club staff.

    This is not acceptable to us, nor is it acceptable to many of our fair minded supporters, who have questioned in which direction the forum is heading!

    It has become impossible for the club to moderate the forum to the standards required, and we are leaving ourselves open to legal action by continuing to host the forum under the official club website.

    We have consulted Bristol Rovers Supporters Club and offered them the opportunity to run the forum, but they also do not have the resources to moderate it.

    It is important for the club to keep you updated with daily news and for you to be able to give us your feedback. With that in mind, we suggest you follow us on Twitter at @Official_BRFC to receive breaking news, and for you to give us your constructive comments.

    Added to this, we intend to hold regular live forums at The Memorial Stadium, attended by the manager, chairman and directors for question and answer sessions.

    We hope you find this a more civilized way to communicate and receive genuine information from the club.

    Unlike the forum which has less than 1,000 members, we have nearly 22,000 fans following us on Twitter and the numbers are set to grow!

    It's not a coincidence that the same time Roverstalk goes down that OTIB goes down

    Aren't OTIB and the gas forum ran by the same company or on the same server? Something like that.
    thefootballforum.net is done by the same lot as well IIRC and that's down as well.

    TFF was working this afternoon after the gas one shut down. No idea when OTIB went but you would have thought the OS would have made some comment if it was as serious as that. I appreciate our forum is independent of the club while the gas one wasn't but I would have thought some message would have been prudent.
