I'm going to start this thread as there are reasons that many of us keep posting here.
1. I love Joffa and his cohorts' stats thread. If we are not at a game, our perception from looking at crowds on TV can often be wrong. Fans can often sit on the same side of the ground as the TV cameras.
I love seeing objective data - in this case crowds. I've also been pleased that despite the football haters, like Rebecca Wilson, the HAL and many aspects of the local game are working. Joffa's crowd thread supports this notion.
2. Voice Of Reason's Aussie Abroad thread.
I love seeing all the updated info on what is occurring overseas. ATM I'm less interested, because many of the leagues Aussies play in overseas are not decidedly better than the HAL. Giannou said ball circulation was nowhere near as fast in the Greek or C League as in the Socceroos.
3. The Select Few's Underage Socceroo thread.
Often instead of starting a new topic, ongoing discussions are better served in this thread. It is also good for streams of games.
4. The Select Few's senior national team Socceroo thread. Again instead of starting new topics, ongoing discussion is better served in this thread.
5. The fact that 442 constantly links articles from the 442 home page to the forum creates ongoing football content. I've seen another football forum gradually implode with no articles linked to the forum that generates ongoing football discussion.
442 may not be perfect, but it creates an opportunity to discuss football in Australia beyond one's home states.

The social aspect of 442 is by far the greatest forum I've used. Met up with a lot of blokes from here who I know consider some top quality m80's

Social aspect is great. Mods are good. Content is decent. Diversity of opinions is okay.

Speaking from a mod point of view, I'm loving the people who are helping by self-policing the forum. I won't name names in the interest of letting them be anonymous if need be but I regularly get PMs asking for thread renames, thread moving, locking, post reports, user issues, etc. It's all done in a very civil way and is a hugely appreciated element of this forum that makes us mods jobs easier (as we don't get the chance to see everything) and in general contributes to making this place even better than it already is.
As always, PM me or any mod with ANY concern and if we feel it's worth dealing with we will, and if not hopefully we are able to talk through why we don't think so. Keep making this place great!

I come here to admire the plethora of sage commentary, to marvel at contemporaneous coaching certificate print production, to learn best practice jargon/TLA's known only to a privileged few, and to lift my shirt and get thoroughly inculcated by various handsome dutchmen who know the secret to passing the ball further.
Bless you, 442.

Met up with a lot of blokes from here who I know consider some top quality m80's This is what football is all about - building friendships and networking. I've only met up with one other 442 member, due to tyranny of distance. Really enjoyed it. I offered to share my lounge for a Socceroo game with another travelling 442 member , but he said he would be with two other 442 members who would be pretty drunk after drinking whisky all day! Conversely, a lot of useful information, coaching resources, travel advice, stadium advice, ticket advice, different circumstances that occur in different Oz regions and overseas, etc, is shared on 442.

I'm speechless.
It is terrible the stuff that goes on Football Anarchy, Judy.
It is best that respected paragons of virtue like you, renowned for your altruism and community work, keep well away from it. Your prior participation on 442 displays those qualities in abundance. With all those impersonations, bogus accounts and multis, you never know who is who on there.
Thankfully, 442 provides a pleasant atmosphere away from all those acrimonious exchanges and hatred . I think it is abhorrent that a strip club is supposedly sponsoring Anarchy.
The axiom is that one needs an IQ below 70 and a criminal record to meet the criteria for membership on Anarchy. I didn't think you'd meet those criteria.
