FAO Michael Morris

[Cardiff-Cal]

CCMB started in 1996. Before Twitter, before Facebook.

Mark Zuckerburg was still in school when some of our original posters were communicating.

OK I might not have made billions, so he got me on that one, but I was sharing stuff with friends before he was.

Message boards maybe a bit old fashioned but it's home to many many people who find them comfortable and more communal than these more dynamic and confusing apps.

Prompted by your above message in another thread I just wanted to say something, and thought a separate thread may be worthwhile so others could add their own comments.

It possibly doesn’t get said enough so I just wanted to say THANK YOU for making this site, and keeping it going all this time.

Ive never been a really active poster but I’ve been viewing since 99/00 season, maybe earlier.

I wonder what the total number of hours that have been spent by everyone looking at this board in all it’s forms over the years is? It must be a ridiculous number.

Not only does it keep us all up to date with our beloved football club but I’m sure it has really helped many people through tough times over the years, even if just as a brief distraction from their troubles or just simply helping with loneliness.

Mike Morris statue outside the ground anyone?

Apologies for the soppy message, no I haven’t been drinking.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

I'll second that. Thank you Mike.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Absolutely!
This message board transcends just football. Luckily enough for me (fingers crossed) it's one of the few sites that I can peruse here in China that doesn't require the use of a vpn.

Keep up the good work, Mike!

Well done for saying something which should be said more often :thumbup:

It’s still the first place I visit after waking up each morning.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Couldn't agree more. Don't post on here that much these days due to the wide variety of places where I can get my fix of Cardiff City news.

Back in the late 20th century, this was the only source of information outside of the mainstream local media, which wasn't accessible to me living away from South Wales.

Mike's site, and the message board in particular, amplified my interest in the club many times over. I'm 100 % sure I wouldn't be making my regular 340 mle round trip to home games if it hadn't existed.

As people have said, we don't thank him enough. Frankly I think the club should do something to recognise his efforts as well.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Agree with all the above - the other thing I like about it is the format.....
Most other sites have large box entries for their posts ....difficult to find what is interesting.
Here, it is nice and simple - one small line for subject and the poster (well two i suppose...) with a decent size font, and view/replies/last post easy to see..
Unlike the banks who seem to be dumbing down things with huge boxes and 4-5 pages to get anything done....please keep as it is - nice and simple!!

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Yeah, thanks Mike. It's a (usually) thankless task.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Big fan of yours Mike :thumbup:

Even though it feels like everyone here is twice my age, you've done a great job keeping this place interesting and the CCFC place to be. Diolch!

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Just want to echo what the OP and every other poster has said. Thank you Mike

A bronze statue of Mike sat on a sofa with a laptop. Costly, but worth it! :ayatollah:
