I'll be moving to a new, modern forum platform as soon as I find one that I'm confident in.

That's great news. The forum capabilities are showing their age and it will be great to move onto something more modern.

Thanks for all the work, and I know moving to a new platform will be even more.

Please try to stay on topic. Posts relating to local politics (that have nothing to do with football) have been moved to the Open Chat forum.

Excuse my ignorance, Liz and other mods, but how do you get to Open Chat forum?

Go back to the Footy Forums tab, scroll down to ‘Other stuff not footy’ - you’ll find ‘Open Chat’ there.

Go back to the Footy Forums tab, scroll down to ‘Other stuff not footy’ - you’ll find ‘Open Chat’ there.

Clicked on footy forums, got sub forums, didn't include open chat.

I should really have said go back to ‘Forums’. There are two major headings under ‘Forums’: ‘Footy forums’ (which you are looking at) and ‘Other stuff not footy’. ‘Open chat’ is under the second heading.

Open chat is a mythical place few have ever been to. If you do find it, you'll be very lonely there.

It's where all efforts to challenge mind-numbing stupidity go to die.

Got to the mythical place on my iPad easily. Remains a myth on my desk top!

if you start at the url RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com (ie the forums homepage), it is very easy to see all the forums available to posters - AFL, local footy, technical help forum, competitions forum as well as Open Chat and the Sandpit.

I've never understood why some people find it so hard to navigate to these forums. Plenty of other posters do find them.

It's where posters can discuss anything not to do with football, and thus leave the main footy forum free for just footy talk, something a large number of our posters much prefer. (We know because they've told us so.)

Yep. Like I said.

No one goes to open chat, even fewer can find it, and sure as the sun sets in the west, no one discusses anything there.

Mods, time to re-align with reality and just delete the posts/threads you don't like.

I have never understood why there is a problem. I read RWO through Tapatalk on an iPad. I get all discussions into my feed. So all new posts - from any part of RWO including Open chat, NSW footy, AFLW etc, etc - automatically appear in my ‘unread’ stream.

It’s years since I have viewed RWO through the website - but isn’t there a similar way to see headings of all new posts in RWO through the web as well?

If you're someone who chooses not to navigate to other forums, posts and threads moved to more appropriate forums are already effectively deleted for you. To completely delete them would deny the ability of those who do choose to navigate to other forums to continue the discussions there.

Posts and thread aren't deleted (or moved) according to whether the moderating team likes them or not. They are deleted or moved in accordance with the published forum posting guidelines, which are quite clearly published at the top of every forum.
