This forum was just a freebie which I got as it was easy to set up without having separate login. In my other game I have just introduced a forum which I wrote myself. I'm wondering if players prefer this current one or shall I put in my own like on eBoxingPromoter. The advantage of that is it can be more integrated into the game with links to your clubs etc. Have a look anyway on www.eboxingpromoter.com

I'd prefer the new one you made. I think perhaps some folks are hesitant to post about in game stuff on this one perhaps because it feels more separate and public facing. Even if functionally it wouldn't be much different, it being more embedded into the game might encourage a bit more chat. This forum has ended up as mostly just questions for you, and nearly everything gets posted into either the game discussion or general support megathreads, which perhaps puts people off posting more casually. Although there's no real reason it needs to be that way, it stays like that because it's how people are used to using it, and what this forum is perceived to be for. The new one could be a bit of a reboot, and so would be good if it could have fixed threads for each country's leagues (maybe one too for Europe, and one for transfers) built into it from day one, more people might use them more casually and frequently, in the way a few of us have been doing on discord. For instance I can happily chat on with Mario about Darlington vs Kidderminster in the #england channel but I'd feel weird about clogging up this forum with it!

hope to have my new forum up and running in the next day or so! i am building it using the same data as the existing one so we shouldn't lose any data, although images won't work. i'll keep a link to the existing forum as well in case anyone prefers it

I for one am always happy to see club chat on here, don't consider you, Mario or anyone else to be clogging up this thread. The downside of Discord is that not everyone has it, but this forum is visible to all, so the game seems at first glance a bit more 'dead' than is really the case. More of that talk on the game forum (I don't mind, incidentally, @admin, which forum you go for) might lead to more engagement with new players and, in turn, more players. Maybe.

Its in.  the automatic scroll down to the bottom of the page is annoying, but needed that javascript so that when you quote, edit or delete a post it goes to the bottom.  still trying to work out if there is a way to stop it happening automatically whenever the page loads
