You'd probably have to lose the Old Man Gloom image for your PR during the campaign though. Not sure it would work in your favour to win over a majority.

Isnt that the same as being open. You must join to write things but surely to get more people they need to see what they are getting themselves in for before joining. Before I joined I could see what people wrote and thought this may be good for gatting news and opinions. Now you have to join to see.
Yep. Opening up the forum again would be a massive step.saintspremiers wrote:Whoever decided to put this feature in must've had rocks in their head. It really helped kill off the forum as we knew it, together with almost zero moderation.

opening it up will not stop trolls
you have a main page that describes the site, and that if you want to be part of the community then please by all means create a username and come join in the fun of discussing the saints and be part of our forum.
if you dont want to be a part of it why should you be able to waltz in and read everything? just because you can on big footy??
it never stopped me or prob 300 others poining back when you had to log in to read
anyhoo
its something that can be turned off and on at the flick of a switch and can be tried out when the new format is running
other ideas:
embedded youtube links
twitter and facebook links to the club and players (for those that use that side of social media)
report button stays
ignore function stays (u have to have the option for people)
multiple templates to choose which layout and colors suit each poster best
a card system
when on the saints page/area (here) there needs to be links to the other areas of the forum at the click of a button and shown on the saints area, that way they might get more traffic.
donating members to be recognised somewhere near the avatar
like buttons for all the facebook users
donation button on the forum so it can be seen at all times and how much % has been donated as the days tick along.
donating members to get something non donating members dont, i dont know, something small, that might encourage more people to donate..maybe a sep area or something??
but you need something to encourage peeps to drop $5 etc
maybe bronze silver gold donators??????
comps with any left over server donations
like signed stuff...alot of posters go to training etc and can get sigs etc and these can be used for competitions for the people that cant get near training etc (bit like what we have now with MM and the player sponsor thing)
needs to be at least 6 mods if not more
just throwing out ideas
