FMLife Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hello, I realise this is a second forum from me but this one will be better. I have kept the features of FMLife but have now added a better skin and banner. I hope to build a successful and thriving board with the purpose of moving to a full time licensed board. I have also appointed a co-admin to help me achieve this goal, he is someone who i have been assured is well known on the scene and has bag's of FM knowledge. Manno, I hope will bring loads of fresh idea's and help to create a nice enviroment to chat about all your fm Problems. FMGoal will also be looking for accomplished member's to take on a moderator role within the forum, Should you feel you are capable of doing this job please do contact me through the PM system available on this site, I would be more then happy to read a short introduction on yourself plus anything you think you can add to FMGoal. As we draw nearer to the release of FM 11 i think it is only right that my board does a sort of countdown. Various new thread's shall be going up in the coming week's ready for when the demo is released. I am hoping to bring exclusive FMGoal content to your PC for the release of Football Manager 2011. FMGoal is due to be opened on the 28th August 2010 at 6:30pm. We would much appreciate it if you would all come on over and welcome us to the scene. Until then I wish you all the best. Thanks By Billy @ FMGoal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius_ Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You honestly couldn't have picked a worse person to team up with. Manno is an absolute imbicile and a notorious spammer - he will absolutely drag you down. Alas, I hope you do well, but to be honest with you, I don't see the point in opening a forum when there are already so many options available. I think you've got a great passion for the game, but you'd be far better joining a site and contributing, making an impact and working your way up the ranks - if that's what you want to do - rather than open a forum on a free board (which people generally despise) and waste your time (which I think you're doing). So many people desire to run a forum/site and then open one, but fail to grasp that they need a unique selling point to make their site work. Again, I wish you the best with it all - but I just can't understand what this forum will offer to that of any other. In truth, I can't understand why anyone opens a forum like this when they don't actually have anything to put in it really, it's not just you FMLife. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I think it's best to be honest than bullsh*t you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will however continue with my work on this site with the view to one day opening my own fully licensed board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Barry Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The skin is so generic it hurts, sorry. Not a bad effort but as a graphics maker I have no interest joining a site with no posts in it. Same with the other forums though, you only really have stickied threads and no real content coming from staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMLife Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thank you for you feedback i will look to work on this asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleyjag Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Is this any different to FMLife? It's just a different name. You also don't need to buy a forum, there are a number of free alternatives - phpBB, MyBB to name two. You can pay £1 for hosting each month and a couple of quid for a domain name and already you'd me miles better off. Just seems a bit strange to promise to switch to a licensed board in the future instead of doing it now when you've already closed one forum and opened another.

lutontown1991 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's a little strange that you have appointed LeedsUnited as staff. A guy who has been banned from both SI forums and my forum. A continuous spammer and abusive poster. Anyway that was your decision. I just think it's a little odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutontown1991 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I know that but I would advise you to rethink. He wasn't banned for no reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRFC23 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Poor staff team in my opinion but I suppose it is up to you. Good luck with your site edit: I do believe that tagline is stolen from FMDiscussion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleyjag Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I hardly think that tagline would be stolen. Lots of sites have "The Home of Football Manager [XXX]" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutontown1991 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The thread title and the OP's username should be edited to reflect the new forum name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutontown1991 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Have you closed down again? I think its a bit silly to come in here and keep opening and closing forums and asking people to come and join when two days later you close down and make a new forum under a different name.

Caleyjag Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 An important step in running a fansite is not to concentrate on member/visitor numbers and judge your site based on that. If it is for that reason that you closed then I'm not sure running a fansite is for you. It takes time to get a good, solid group of members that return regularly. Unfortunately, at the start of a new site it is very hard to achieve this unless you hit the ground running with features people actually want. You've got to put in the effort for a good while before you'll really see the fruits of your labour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
