Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I created a new forum since this one isn't moderated?

Yeah I'll be there making posts. Go for it 

Thanks, I'll go right ahead then :)

Where might we find this forum?

I'll post it when it's finished. I have a name in mind, but any other names are welcome

so you want to create a forum that censor's people's opinions that you don't agree with?

why would you want to do that?

Don't be a jerk the man is helping us 

legit question

there's already a football forum that controls spammers and would welcome anyone with an interest in football, however the snowflakes here wouldn't be able to deal with pushback on some of their views

Id check it out. Will need to recreate my favourite threads - osaussies, underage rep teams and old socceroos replays

Sounds good.Please keep us informed.

Which forum?

No, everyone is welcome. If you want to make a Mason Greenwood appreciation thread there go right ahead. Just keep it about football. This site has spammers/bots that ruin this forum which we are all trying to avoid.

You've got form as a  notorious Anarchy troll. A few of your fellow Anarchy trolls have joined you on this forum, since AF has closed.

It is in your interests to have as  little moderation as possible. Chaos is what you want to create.

Great idea, Pasquali.

I'll join it. Hopefully, it has the same mechanism as here to have posts appear immediately, as opposed to have a mod approving them every hour or so, like Roar. A mate of mine had a football blog in  this state which worked well, except he also approved posts every hour or so.  The posts weren't immediate.

It is important to try and recruit most of the posters on this forum to it.

Any forum needs a steady stream of new blood.

That's your MO.

Our forum is quite civilised.  You're only worried about protecting your perceived reputation and your deluded big dog status here.
Your lies and fraudulent character would be put on show for all to see elsewhere. 

Here it is guys. Wasn't quite the plan but it was the best I could do without coding it myself and paying for ongoing hosting fees.

Thanks Pasquali 
I’ll register 

The new forum works well.

I feel a bit traitorous considering joining the new forum while this one still lives and breathes its history. Like I did years ago when KORB or its similar replacement were being touted by invitation only.

As long as this one has legs, a new forum feels like the Superleague Football option so I think I will stay posting here for now and keep the other bookmarked for 'if/when'. With no pressure on Bowden to continue the incredible time guzzling clean-ups he is doing, I will continue using this forum as long as he is willing to keep up the effort or gets help from the owners.

The new forum looks good, and would make an excellent replacement for me if this one goes belly up. So genuine 'Thanks', Pasquali. Have you considered registering a 'posting' account yourself on it so you don't have to post as Admin and feel less human?

Same. But, I'm logged in/set up/ready to go when the inevitable needs to happen.

That said, I have registered on the new forum as well - for if or when.

You can click on the three bars top left and choose Member List to see how it grows too.

And just a silly minor point - but if you simply join today you are a member from Day 1. Really quite meaningless, but it is something you will not be able to say tomorrow...

Unfortunately this forum isn’t what it use to be. It’s very slow and unresponsive, the ads get in the way, if you log in it takes you to the wrong page etc. 

I like being ‘admin’. It makes me feel powerful 🤣

The link doesn't work for me :(

The power over laugh and dearth.

already trying to weasel your way into a mod position there

That's strange. What does it say?

Does this work?

I wonder if it's a firewall thing...I'm trying from my work PC. Error page says:

This site can’t be reached

The connection was reset.

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

The opposite. There is a lot of mundane work moderating. Essentially, it is a community service. 

I'm busy enough off forum with positions of responsibility.

Not being a Mod means I can skip past posters like you, whose MO is essentially to troll, goad, derail, play the man not the ball, and cause as much conflict as possible. 

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.
