[Senor M]

so rather than engage and show us what good posting looks like you hibernate and keep out of the thread, I guess we should thank you for doing your bit to make the SFA a better posting place by staying away

So it’s the Bears fault your club has spammed AI images, YouTube videos & outdated jokes?

90% of Pugsley & Robertio’s contributions are more suited to a Team PM.

Your entire pitch with setting up Team 13 was to grow the league—- the league is less engaged (total posts, average posters above 20ppw & overall posters per week) now than when the OOB’s joined.

The expansion has failed because all it’s done is set up a system where a few hang out & spam together.

It’s where the Boys Club and Nerd Club before it were less damaging to the league because the groups were spread across the league & had unique identities

 

[Mrs Turbo]

4 : 11.44 {FF} - BRAB goes for goal.
