  In your posting of April 15th 2012, you stated that the message board budget came from the programme budget, and not from the Online Services budget, which *had* been cut.
  
  When did this change, and the Online services take over the Archers Message Board, please?

  Rosie, I think Tayler is still on holiday. There is a temporary host - Matt, I think.

  In a follow up to Rosie's question: is the hosting of the Facebook page paid for out of a central Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online budget or does it come directly from the Archers Production budget?

  Hi Peggy
  
  I've been given no indication that the message board will close - obviously I can't predict the long term as budgets are regularly reviewed. The message board is still seen as having a close editorial link (and value) to the programme and is paid for out of the programme's budget (as opposed to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online budget, which has been cut).
  
  The Points of View board is also staying open.
  
  I hope that's of some reassurance,
  
  Tayler

  Hi Rosie
  
  The board is not only looked after by me, but also by the communities team, the moderators and any maintenance or build work (so I'd guess the latter 3 would all fall under the online budget).
  
  I'll be continuing to look after the Facebook and Twitter accounts.

  I assumed you would see I was talking/writing about the /*_budget_*/ for the Archers message board.
  The main point was,
  When did this change, and the Online services take over the Archers Message Board, please? Ìý
  
  By which I mean, when did the Online Services take on the *COST* or budget of the Archers Message Board from the budget of the programme, please?
  
  I did not ask about who "looked after" Twitter etc. Or about you.
  
  I do hope you can answer the query that I put?

  Or if there was no change, who was telling the porkies!
  
  Or are answers invented based on convenience rather than fact?
  
  
  NB I am sure no-one is accusing Tayler of anything more than repeating what she has been told.
  
  But we are not White(?Red) Queens; and it is lunchtime.

  Hi Rosie,
  
  Apologies - my post was a while back so I don't know if anything has changed since then, but as I understood it, the hosting of the board (ie me) was part of the programme budget.
  
  The decision to close the board isn't a simple budget cut (if that's what you're getting at), more that the cost is harder to justify with dwindling numbers.
  
  Nigel posted a link to this blog post from Ian Hunter (then Managing Editor of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online) talking about the change in strategy for online, which might help with understanding more about the changes,

  Thank you, Ms Creswell.
  
  All you needed to say, was that you do not know *when* the message board budget moved from the Archers programme budget, to the Online service budget.
  
  So, please can you tell me where I can find this out?

  the cost is harder to justify with dwindling numbers.Ìý Tayler I have to say that 'dwindling' is not an adjective I would use to describe traffic on this messageboard, especially since there was no direct link from the front page for so long.
  
  Iirc a stock taking several years ago used the argument that the numbers of new users was not growing at the same rate as it had during the first 7 or 8 years of the boards existence. That makes more sense as a yard stick, but it's not the same as 'dwindling.'
  
  Similarly I take issue with your use of the word 'vibrant' to describe the Facebook community [on Feedback last week.] When I looked the other day, there was a total of twenty comments for the previous episode. That would be a very slow day on these boards. Maybe the number of contributors per time period to Facebook has grown exponentially over the last couple of years and that day was an anomaly.

  Sadly, Tayler, our paths won't be crossing then as I really am not interested in either. I'll be posting in Peet's, though.

  No doubt I'll be popping in to Peet's, so hopefully will "see" you there : )
  
  And in answer to Rosie T's question upthread:
  
  I looked for the reference behind my earlier (2012) post and when I couldn't find it I checked with Keri. I've made a mistake here and assumed the budget was coming from the production team. Huge apologies for causing any confusion.

  So you are telling us that you simply made up an answer without any underlying basis for what you said?
  
  I find that very hard to credit.
  
  Thinking about FB and Twitter, has the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú realised that it will not be able to censor posts there?
  
  For example we will be able to mention the name of their social media moderating company without fear of sanction! And to comment on their work without getting censored, as I was earlier today.
