A few posts about the 'old Rivals' and how good it would have been this morning. I totally agree, but the only way to get it back is to tell people from other clubs about this site. I'm struggling on the marketing of it, as I generally always have done. It would help me out as well, so please please do it wherever you see an opportunity, Thanks as always [^]

I do, i used to be on the old Everton board a lot, and ended up having a few of them as facebook friends, I tell them every now and then, but it just isn't happening.

Loads of them did register initially and a few still lurk, but board loyalty is a strong thing, and I do get that. Opportunities will arise though...

Let's hope the new Rivals becomes the leader in ending Twitter bantz [pray]

I think Rivals.net got in there at the right time. The problem these days is Facebook and Twitter. So many groups that offer a message board facility without having to leave the Facebook commuinity. It's tough going marketing mate and we have to think of something unique to get them in on a regular basis. I loved the old format of Rivals and this is even better than what that was. Question is, how do we get them coming in?!

Thanks B - I think the overriding advantage is that, unlike Twitter, it's not a few thousand clueless people shouting at each other. Rivals is just a few clueless people :-D

Twitter is chaotic and will probably implode, I can see why Facebook appeals but - for me - it's still not very personal when chatting about stuff.

Its about having a familiar place to 'go'. Hence why Boro still use fansonline, even though it's a car crash of a messageboard. I could list the benefits of this one till I'm blue in the face, it wont make a lot of difference unless a majority decide to up sticks.

I just had a look, and they're apparently waiting for a new board design soon. I made and offered a free redesign for them (which then became this board) which they couldn't make up their minds about and eventually forgot, and that was over 4 years ago! [old]

Looks like that was the last time Fansonline was updated, just gone on there and they've still got Wolves & Wigan in the PL and West Ham & Portsmouth in the Championship!
