that's pretty decent actually

Just feel it's the right homage. Covers all areas of the game. Younger people may ask 'what's that even mean?' It's important they all know and Johnny's message spreads.

Definitely. 

I was wondering thought if greenandgoldfc.com or greenandgoldfc.com.au would be better? It’s the same thing but we will be stuck with it 

This name more so relates to the Roos more than anything.
The forum name should be more open specific towards the game overall imo.

Love Football

If one ignores all their posts by skipping past them it works well. 

works well for us over 40s but young posters probably get spooked off if any personalities get too dominant

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

back of the net au is another option for forum name

There might be another site by the same name?

It might not still exist though.

I’m not finished. If you have any ideas for the new project let me know. This one I want to be the main place for Australian football on the web

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?

Something with 'football' in it.

If Inside Sport continues to exist, it could be problematic having Inside Sport 2 forum?

Shame. Just tried to Google it.

I thought the new forum was pretty good as it was.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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)

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.

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.
