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

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

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.

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.

Socceroos/matildas is just the umbrella of what everything else is under. reddit/aleague for example contains a lot of national team talk. It won't matter.

They won't even be on the forums in the first place because they won't find it. Mainstream appeal is important unless you want a dead forum

I see what you mean. At the same time all names start from nothing. A term so connected to the ethos of Australian football and by definition, something we aspire to, could add a bit of mystique about the place. 

Just going over the numerous podcast and twitter page names they're repetitive in theme being about down under, Roos or other typical terms. 

I don't mind green and gold as it's easy to identify and remember. 

I'm stumped for other names.

Australian Football Forum? It might be plain but is clear about what it is. 

I've been running ideas of chatgpt and if you're not specific enough it connotates to AFL a lot. 

Wasn't there a podcast called studs up? Studs are other sports too but the idea of people debating is that the studs are going towards you. 

It'd be nice to recapture the old days when hundreds were on during games. Perhaps it's less about name and more about promotion and ease of access. Some whispers on social areas should get people having a sticky beak. 

442 was always a good name. The change to inside sport was vague. Alas, forum traffic is way down but club specific forums around the world appear to be very strong.

Studs Up is clever. I did like Four Four Three also. What about Kewell's Left Boot. Green and Gold Brigade. I'm just spit balling.

Yeah my brain keeps associating with certain players and body parts. Issue is it's then very specific

That TV show The Cheap Seats, somewhat witty, even self deprecating. 

It's not like Inside the area or side netting make any bloody sense for a forum. 

I saw a sticker in stadium toilets. Something like: Land, sea or air, Australian fans go everywhere.

Land Sea Air? Still way off topic. Symbolic in maybe Land for the local game, sea for future exploration and growth and air for Aussies Abroad. 

Some kind of ring to it where people at the pub after a game as 'are you on.....?'

That last ones on to something but doesn't feel right. It reminds me of the football chant: "Aussies here, Aussies there, theres Aussies fucken everywhere!"

The other codes also play in green and gold so we need FC. People think round ball game when they see those two letters. *Ideally* we are as tight knit as a football club.

I doubt the green and gold army forum carved out the same niche as we have. There is a sizeable community who want deeper discussions into our game. These people are spread everywhere. Unfortunately the forums are all bad. This one is probably the best one and it’s not even a football dedicated forum. I believe if it’s done right it will grow.

I'm fine with green and gold fc. Perhaps a poll would be fairest. 

Imagine if the FA created their own forum (would probably deter people being from them) yet I imagine black with a couple of historical sound bites then a white text on a black background with I told you so among other intriguing names. 

People have very short attention spans and interest levels nowadays so it'd be more about interesting discussions, a continuation from what goes on here, anyway.
