I bet you do though !

The new forum is excellent. Hope to see you there.

Some people have had trouble registering, but once you do, everything works really well. This site is  now quite clunky and slow. By deeds the  IS owner does't want to spend money on this site, which needs an upgrade.  Green and Gold FC is actively moderated and administered, with the owner highly accessible and visible. There is no Thai spam.

Many threads from here have been transferred.  There seem to be much greater traffic than FTBL Forum has had for years.


We seem to have a number of new posters too, some with significant football  knowledge. Some might have changed names too. It is the most exciting thing to happen in Aus football forums since 442 started.

True.

We've all moved.

It would be great if you could join us Football Lover.

Even if you don't post much.

Agree with ODW.

Bump past spam

Ok I'm admitting defeat. For the past month I've been spending almost an hour every day banning spam accounts and IP addresses, but it appears to all be for nothing as new spam accounts from new IPs continue to flood the forum every single day. It's literally impossible to keep up.

I've registered for the new forum.

Thanks for trying Bowden....  This was a great ride while it lasted...... 

You've done all you can mate. Any word on backing up or archiving this forum?

Can you sticky this thread?

Thanks guys. Very sad times, but not much we can do :(

Yep I’ll sticky the thread. 

To Bowden thank you for your efforts.Just about everyone has joined the new forum so it is good you have come across

Good on you hanging in Bowden.
Thanks very much real shame it’s gone this way but enough is enough see you over there.

It's been confirmed.

The new forum is owned and operated by Decentric.

Have fun.
