[Dudley]

Like your forum

Some really good posters, feisty, smart etc

would be good to discuss other things, and you only have one add on forum.

Can you have more ? and would you like help with it etc ?

just interested

Dear Poster,

Thankyou for your valuable feedback. This is a great idea and we will definitely be "looking into it" however as I am sure you understand, as mods we are very busy deleting posts with naughty words in them and may not actually have the time to do anything.

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY

Far be it for me to have any authority or right but:

You indeed are a funny great addition to this forum and people like you (esp our "roomie" girls) and the many other posters ( some super knowledgeable about footy and Swans generally) have converted it from an absolute ghost town 18 months ago to an enjoyable place to visit

I would suggest you just post a thread DO IT where ever and whatever you want with what is available now.

Then if it is somehow it's "out of line" they will let you know

Or if a new concept takes on with momentum then they will (might) act after beomes generally popular!

But seriously we ARE looking at ways to add more Sub-Forums to this Board. Might mean the End of Club Roomie (it also might not) but Big Footyin general is going though a mid year review with the Mods getting asked what we want and what we don't want for our club boards and to be honest both me and Ert are of the opinion that we would like to see more Sub-Forum's added. But we can't but time-frames on when those "might" be added.

Until then just put up with what you have got and hope for better days hopefully.

i hate 2 boast but damn guys with out us roomies gals it would be zzzzz town
well not really but you get my point

that hurt reading that

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

come on someone help back us roomies girls please

 

[natlovestheswans]

Um, club roomie is the best part about this board. Why would you get rid of it?!

 

[TripleB]

I have minimal input with the 'Roomies', but the 'girly' talk about who is hot and who is not etc. needs to stay off the main board and the 'Roomie' board is perfect for that.

Let them have their fun.

Yes yes i know we go over the top with that but we do have good imput on the main board

and like u have siad for all our girly stuff lol Club Roomie is perfect
THANKS B

 

[MF]

I agree with TripleB. While I don't necessarily frequent the Roomies Board all that often we can't afford to have their conversations on the main board. No offense ladies but if other people come onto our board and every second post is about Rynos bum or Buchanans hair then it is only going to add to the Sydney stereotypes .

The roomies thread must stay.

If it were not for the roomies thread I wouldn't even know that Aaron Bruce is a sex god with great arms, I wouldn't know who named Paul Bevan 'Inspo'. I wouldn't know that yesterday Jake 'Beanie' Orreal got his hair cut, I wouldn't have seen pics of Kieren Jack's birthday party that were lifted off facebook...

To some peolpe these may not be exciting facts but I can honestly say that learning these things from the roomies thread have made me a better person and continue to help more and more as each day goes on.....

Thanks Dave. That really means ALOT to us girls. And we're glad that our talks have also benefited you..

 

[moore]

As a new poster but someone who has been reading the Roomies for a while i find it very amusing and hope it continues.I carnt keep up with Soph Cross who is her no.1.

 

[legend166]

Three boards:

1. Main board - Anything footy related.

2. Club Roomie - Anything related to the players and their off field activity. This needs to stay so I can easily avoid it.

3. Off Topic Board - Everything else.

That sounds very good Legend 166,do you have different Mods for the off topic board to ease their workload ? or even the Roomies board.

Sounds perfect

 

[Hopelesslyaddicted]

I've never been to the roomies forum - but I do support the girls and their passion for it.

I don't quite know about this Dudley poster though.

I can never work out if they are serious or not.

If they are serious then indeed they are very "different" but good luck to them.

Haha! Classic. Dudley just got compared to the roomie girls. He is going to love that.

Oh, and I hope I am one of the knowledgable ones..

 

[ssfc0203]

Let Club Roomie stay!

I think we're more in need of a POTY/Adopt a Swan board than an off topic board, but maybe the off topic board could be introduced in tandem?
Why don't we put all the separate player threads into another subheading and use Club Roomie as an off topic board? Adopt a Swan is a great idea and we should start it asap. Sure SS woud agree with me

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Relax ladies (and gents) - club roomie is not getting the axe. But we will be doing some re-adjusting as far as the sub-boards go. We'd like to ensure that all our boards appeal to a broader userbase so what I'm thinking is broadening the horizons of the roomies board to encourage other topics - maybe even changing the name of the board - but the roomies thread will still be a key component of the board. Ideally it will probably be general player focused chat - but we have to be careful not to draw too much away from the main board - we're still trying to work out exactly what to put where.
A non-footy related board is also essential, and I'd like to get that running ASAP.
I'm looking for a home for POTY. SouthSwans has requested a seperate board for it, but I don't know if POTY by itself will generate the traffic to justify a sub-board, but I'm thinking maybe a board with POTY as a key component, but open to other discussions as well.

It's all in the very early development stages, so it may take a few weeks to get going, but we're as keen to see the board evolve as you all are.

It would be good if people used this thread to make suggestions on what they would like to see happen with the board, we're open to all ideas - after all, it's you guys who have made the board what it is today, so you must be doing something right!

 

[ssfc0203]

How about coupling POTY with an Adopt-a-Swan board? They focus on essentially the same subject: player performance. Latest POTY voting threads and the leaderboard could just be stickied, as well as a post with links to threads about specific players. Does that help couple both into one sub-board?

 

[grimlock]

I was about to suggest something similar. On other team boards they have a subboard with one thread per player. I guess we have an informal version of it already with threads devoted to certain favourites.

 

[is2SWaNz]

Yeah, I was thinking of changing the board 'Club Roomie's' name, as it sounds weird and doesn't really relate to the Swans in any shape or form (IMO). We could rename it to ClubSWANS. Where we can hold off-field talks and bigfooty meetups and etc. It will hold similar purposes as the real ClubSWANS at Kings Cross. However, not too sure if we're allowed to use ClubSwans as the name (looking it from a legal point of view).
