I'm interested. A few questions.

How would you moderate? Some of us have been on here for decades and are the long term members. We held this forum together through just about everything. Ran multiple different things that made this forum a success too.  Bowden is a moderator here and has earned that status. 

How do you drive traffic to the forum? 

What is the safety against bots?

With the notable exception of Lupi, guys just join the new forum. It is already active.

I've already posted a list of 40 odd current and past FTBL Forum posters to try and recruit.  All of you are on it, minus one. 

Keep posting in both forums, until this one ceases to exist. Inside Sport is already active. We need posters to post all their research in the Aussie Abroad thread on Pasquali's  Inside Sport Forum 2. I'm not sure where the posters source all the material?

 This FTBL Forum could close any day. There hasn't been much new advertising. It isn't  generating money. There are costs involved running it. Anyone running a business wants to make money.

I've had a fair bit of recent contact with the  current site owner of Inside Sport. It  doesn't augur well for the future of this forum - but he might surprise us? He hasn't done what he  has implied he was going to do to keep this forum going.

It might be a question of the entire Inside Sport site disappearing altogether.

Why are you trying to 'recruit' members?  Its not even your forum.  Are you trying to build your own cadre of sycophants there?

Thanks for all the effort.

An interesting question about new members to a new forum. Definitely get some quality people on board. Not entirely sure if such a thing should be promoted on reddit and other groups as hearsay says there can be numerous clowns. Yet getting levels up with good forum members can only be a positive thing.

It kind of only takes one aggressive poster to make a forum not fun. The aggressive posters have left here so we only need thai spam to be moderated

Provided the forum keeps running it only needs enough mod coverage to delete spam threads to be fine. That's why I was hopeful that Muz had heard from the FTBL folks. If we can get some mods annointed it'd give that coverage and help out Bowden who does a great job.

What are you going to call it. Inside Sport 2 felt like a copyright breach. I feel like it needs to be linked to Australian football somehow.

Should give Johnsazs moderation rights as he can delete stuff at night - he is based in europe

I'd be happy to do it but suspect I'd be a controversial pick since people thought I was a mod and editing/deleting stuff (to be fair, anything both off topic and personal I would move to extra time if I had modding powers)

Site owner, Pasquali, moderates. I've suggested he needs a couple of others.

There is  a mechanism on Inside Sport Forum 2 to state that one isn't a Bot.

You need to join up, Zimbos, because if this  forum folds, it could be too late. ATM I can only find the Inside Sport Forum 2 link on this thread and my own browser history.  I'm pretty dumb with IT though.

I've just sent you a PM - suggesting how to ingratiate yourself to others and how others might respond to your posts positively, Lupi.

I'll return to the norm of skipping past your posts in public again, until such time they change for the better. 

Bye.

I've been thinking about recruitment for this forum, but didn't have any ideas other than contacting the A L forums. 

Not sure whether NPL clubs have big enough forums or blogs for IS 2?

Whether Reddit or Roar are avenues to recruit new members for Inside Sport 2, or whatever name it becomes, I don't know?

There might be another site by the same name?

It might not still exist though.
