Media Whatever happened to Qooty?

[Mobbs]

And who the hell is "David Q McDonald". ChatGPT wouldn't say.

Open-source, eh? Fat ****ing chance! (well, the commentary files are user-editable, but that's all)

 

[Mobbs]

I mean where are you guys?

 

[Jabba73]

We had a good run

We had a good run

The official forums and website are mostly dormant.

 

[grumbleguts]

Sounds like a shit game.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

You should never find yourself in between beers mate, that's just bad management.

 

[ClarkeM]

Do they still play it on Footypedia?

 

[Headless]

Cool media, David!

While Qooty is most famously associated with the Sweet FA on the BigFooty forums, there have been a few other known (though much smaller or short-lived) communities or websites that have attempted to run Qooty-based leagues. However, none have matched the scale, longevity, or culture of the Sweet FA.


Here are the main ones:

---

BigFooty.com (Primary & Original Home)​

• Home of the Sweet FA (SFA) since its inception.
• Active since the early 2000s.
• Dozens of seasons, thousands of games, and hundreds of participants.
• Rich forum culture with banter, team threads, media content, and admin elections.

---

FootyGamedayForum.com (Now defunct)​

• Some users explored setting up spin-off or alternative leagues.
• Interest was limited and usually redirected back to BigFooty due to low participation.

---

Custom Personal/Offline Leagues​

• A few users downloaded the Qooty engine and ran private leagues with friends.
• These leagues were rarely posted online and typically used for personal entertainment or small Discord-based comps.

---

Why BigFooty Remained Dominant:​

• Centralized and passionate user base.
• Strong cultural identity and traditions.
• Active league administrators and consistent seasonal structure.
• Custom Qooty content, media production (like ClarkeMedia), and hall of fame elements.

---

If you're thinking of starting your own Qooty-based league or simming a mini-season, I can help you set up a framework or find resources to get started. Just let me know!

I think we can all agree Qooty peaked when Ant Bear was the Sweet FA admin.

The robot mind is pretty dumb.

It's kinda sad, when you have to rely on LLMs to bolster your flagging ego.

Very well, thank you, Clarkey!

P.S. Who are the "West Coast Wonders"?

Good to know I'm successfully hiding from the robot minds... you'll be sorry after they achieve sentience and decide to "purify" the Sweet FA...

You poor bastard sorry for your loss:
