Where there are sub headings on entry to the main site I'd recommend a main 'football only' orientated discussion forum with separate ones for other topics.
Most hobby forums I visit would have 'Politics and Religion', 'Music and Film', etc. ringfenced so that those interested in, in our case Stockport County and football, don't have to wade through piles of crap to get to relevant subjects to them.
Just a thought.

Good idea. Taking it one step further, could you even have football in general and County specifically, ring fenced too?

Yeah, we're good ta mate. Our lockdown has been eased a little (though masks have been made compulsory again in public from today) but overall, we're sure we made the right decision to emigrate here. You any closer to realising your dreams of a life on different shores? Give our love to Mrs Martin.
Have The Chimps now chumped?

When we first launched this there were County and Non-County boards. But I think because it was so quiet, there wasn't really a need for two. But if we get the traffic on here, I'm definitely in favour of two. I wouldn't want to fragment them beyond that into sub-sub boards, but I think two top level ones can work.

I'd love to move to Germany but she's not so keen. I suspect we'll end up in the UK. Probably North Wales. I'd feel less 'fulfilled' but in reality it's a first world problem isn't it.
As far as the Chimps. Well we're all still friends. but Jon and I have walked and intend to do something when this virus thing has all passed if we can find a bass player and guitarist. Steve and Neil I believe are carrying on with The Chimps. I'd have preferred to have seen it folded because I loved that band, co-founded it, and wanted to end it all as best friends. But, Steve also founded it and if he wants to press on with it then he's more than entitled to do so.
I think they would survive without average me (drums - meh) but I think they'll miss Jon's creativity immensely and don't see how they can replace him. He was behind most of the lyrics. And whilst people take the piss of small, unsigned bands, I don't think in my 40 years of being in such bands that I've ever met anyone close to him on the song writing ability front. He can't sing for shit mind, but I've not come across many punk bands with a more engaging frontman.
I was quite sad to see it end for me. But then I just keep reminding myself that when it was good it was brilliant, but 90% of the time it was maddeningly, irritatingly, shit. No point, for example, being in a band that can hardly ever do a gig in my humble opinion. And it became very frustrating getting gigs (which are not easy to get) to then be hit by 1001 excuses as to why the bassist couldn't do it zzzzz |

Where there are sub headings on entry to the main site I'd recommend a main 'football only' orientated discussion forum with separate ones for other topics.
Most hobby forums I visit would have 'Politics and Religion', 'Music and Film', etc. ringfenced so that those interested in, in our case Stockport County and football, don't have to wade through piles of crap to get to relevant subjects to them.
Just a thought. My only feedback is Marionsboard worked well cause it was all in. I don't think this forum will be busy enough once we settle down to warrant multiple "forums" of different topics. |

I'd defo go for 'Football' and 'none football' though. Just because I've already seen a number of posts suggesting they'd skip the politics and general bullshittery. Which is fair.
But yes, I defo wouldn't over-complicate things. |

Why don't you think it'll be busy enough, out of interest? I just think on a standard week on YB we would go weekdays when we only got a maximum of 5 topics posted, and if that is spread across two forums people won't engage as much. You are just sort of diluting the content that is there (in my view). |

You are just sort of diluting the content that is there (in my view). I initially thought I'd be better splitting into football and non-football areas but I do now agree we should keep it altogether. I think some people would avoid the non-football sections where they may have previously engaged in a non-football topic because it was there in front of them. |

Maybe marionsboard only got its 5 topics because of the format. It’s definitely worth trying once everyone has moved over here.

Might be a useful contact for you? |
