This sign-up is looking for forumers to join in. Bear in mind that this may be a continuous thing and you may have to wait to sign up. See the individual thread for more details.

This sign-up is underway and isn’t looking for new forumers. But you can still read along and post your comments.

This sign-up has finished but is still available for light entertainment and tips on how to run a sign-up

Status: Abandoned

It looks highly likely that this sign-up has been abandoned by its creator.

Forumite

A forum user put into digital form in the game as a club, player or member of staff. To help differentiate from Forumer, a forumite is not real.

Forumer

The real person on the forums.

And now, the D.I.Y. Part

I’ve put together this list to the best of my ability. The sign-ups are ordered in order of replies. If you’re not happy with your sign-up’s description, either PM me or post on the Mod Requests Thread with an alternative and I’ll replace it. Try to keep it short; this is a quick guide. I’ll try to update the status of a sign-up as it changes, but if for any reason I miss a change, PM me or use the Mod Request thread. The same applies for new sign-ups not in the guide.

Changes, 18.01.2009

I’ve redone this list according to status, then views at this moment in time. Sign-ups that were on the previous list but have not been posted in within 31 days have been put last. A concise change list:

Additions:

Man United Rebuilt (jimmyriddle)

It Could be You…who’s Crap (Whoopy D)

The Joys of Versatility – from the Deserts of Djibouti to the International Stage (LokedOut420)

The Race for the Whitehouse (canvey!!)

SI Athletic (hilton210916)

Conquer the World…Once You’ve Conquered Oceania (Walcott’s Wonderkids)

Deletions:

So You Think You’re a Tactical Genius (mikeytwigge)

Discontinued sign-ups or those with an unknown status have still been added to the list, with the possibility of them continuing. However, at some point they will be removed if there is no activity.

The Football Manager 2008 section hasn’t changed, other than a status change.

There’s a rating system in this forum which is underused. If users want to rate threads that they like, and even those that they don’t, then maybe that can be incorporated into this guide. Rating one's own sign-ups is devious, though ;).

Title: FM09 A New World: Bring the Welsh to the Top!

This will be returning in June once myself and rancer have finished our exams so it'd be better to put it as 'postponed' or just state that it'll be returning in the description :thup:
