I followed that guy a while back, can't remember why, I'm assuming it was the avatar.

If that's not mod-baiting I don't know what is.

The last few salted peanuts are always too salty.

Open the packet upside down, then they get steadily better. You're welcome.

 

[Portmanteau]

Yeah. Unliked the page after the name changes and that shite.

Yep. Sorry guys, I'm out until the BigFooty branding returns or something less ridiculous is used. You should be backing the absolute quality of the podcasts and game previews/reviews (best PAFC content on the web) rather than this.

Just did the same. This reeks of John James-era decision making.

Yep, if the club gives a BigFooty plug like it does with the Macca19 reviews you need to back in the content and reputation of this board to draw in new posters and listeners to the podcast.

You don't win fans by dumbing down the content of the boards/pages, and the fans that you do attract through those means - you don't necessarily want.

re: the BigFooty Port Board Facebook page.

I would look at it this way.

The prime assets of the BigFooty Port Board are:
1) Game Previews and Reviews
2) Podcasts
3) Game Day threads.

Therefore you just need to post links to these when they get posted to drive traffic to this board. No more, no less.

What I would strongly advise against is trying to open another area for discussion that requires moderation.
There's ample opportunity within this forum and Facebook in general for people to have those discussions.

You just need to use the FB page as a way of maintaining a presence within the FB information stream to bring people here.
Sharing of articles from the official PAFC FB page would also be an 'easy win' content strategy.
Remember this: the fish you catch is dependent on the bait you use.
If you use the wrong tone of voice you'll attract the wrong fish.

As for the name, "I love Port Adelaide Power" is lame.
It sounds like a page that 14yo girls would follow. It also sounds like a troll or a pisstake.
Stick with "Big Footy Port Adelaide" or "Big Footy PAFC"

Finally, I'd try to enlist the talents of tribey or Ford Fairlane to write a short but evocative Description and About paragraphs for the page.
These help set the tone for the communication channel.

blaargh is correct in that this board, and its related channels (Twitter, FB, Podcast) are now firmly linked to the club so there is a greater responsibility with getting things like this right.

Have you ever heard the phrase "if you don't know who the idiot is in your circle of friends, then it's probably you"?

In that case, I've already won.

16 games + 16 games = 32. The double of 16.

 

[Stromageddon]

Polec for 33 games this year.

Also lol @ "The Bombers will North Melbourne"
North Melbourne is now a verb.
