Andrea @159, A very good post and well done.
I am not a fan (yet) of the new layout of the website and the betting links are a bit in your face.
But as I have had a massive £20 in my online account since January I am sure I will be able to resist temptation. ...

On some level this is appalling and shocking, and in many ways it’s not.
Once the site changed ownership, it began putting out such garbage from Anjishnu — who is clearly not a Blue — that it really isn’t surprising that there were ulterior motives to the purchase and that the odds were always pointing towards the site further declining in time. Only Michael was really left to save its soul.
But then we’re reminded that the community of true Blues is the real soul of the site. So can we stomach what it’s become to carry on the community so many of us hold dear. Only time will tell. Clearly the new owners are scrambling to tone down the gambling messaging, but in the end it’s unavoidable. The site has been sullied, and we’ll all choose whether we can scrape off the grime to get our fix.
Truth is that I dabbled in Evertonia but haven’t been there in a couple months. I suggested this awhile back, and my hope remains that Lyndon — in addition to his truly...

It's been shite since Lyndon got rid. Evertonia is orders of magnitude better.
I am now officially deleting my shortcut and account after over 20 years.....

Alan J, while the old site had a font button to change sizes you can always change the font size of your browser.
Bottom of your browser page there's 3 lines. Tap and it gives you a range of options for the page, including font size....

Ernie, Colin G and Andy Crooks. Take a couple of days to stew it over and keep coming back to have a peak. I'm sure Michael will do his best to address the issues many posters have except for the gambling aspect.
I think Andrea's words are very wise in that.you can only make change from within. Better to fight than walk away.
Michael K I was wondering why you hadn't replied to my email..now I know lol. I don't envy you sorting all this out. Good luck and get yourself plenty of paracetamol.

ToffeeWeb. Who are we? "A new home for sports betting enthusiasts".
Really?
Shame, it used to be a home for Everton enthusiasts.
I despise gambling for personal reasons. I get that it's everywhere anyway and football in general is riddled with different ways to try and tempt you in. I get that the majority will be able to see past the adverts and simply not engage.
However, this just doesn't feel right. No matter what MK says, this isn't our ToffeeWeb anymore. It has morphed into something far less appealing. The intentions are clearly set out in that "Who Are We" description.
And for that reason, I'm out.
MK, it was genuinely brilliant here, at it's peak. All the best to you. Cheers....
