Neji Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I've changed the title so this can be used for talk about the forum rather than updates etc. Try and keep this thread on topic though.

Cardiovascular Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I think we should maybe steal LLM with a Monday, Friday and potentially Wednesday update threads? Just a place for people to update us where they are and how they're doing before and even after two seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Whilst I hate the thought of not being able to post for two seasons outside of one thread (computer was wiped so have no save games - 10 season Arsenal game was deleted :'( ) I'm glad we have this forum - looks excellent. Any chance, if I could offer proof that the only games I do are long term ones (e.g 8+ seaons) I could start a thread anyway? It'll take me over a month to do two seasons, especially as I'm moving house on the 31st July and won't be able to use my computer for about a week.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 CV - don't really like that idea, will just clutter up the forums imo. If I'm really that interested in someone elses thread I'll be reading their thread. Just my opinion though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Two season rule? Personally, I wouldn't bother. As was pointed out previously, if someone posts once or twice and doesn't return, the thread will naturally disappear off the page. And if you do go with the rule, there might be some users put off going that far back to update their new thread - after all, it could be quite a job for some, depending on how in-depth they go. The page could get busy enough to demote good threads to the second page, but this shouldn't be a problem. Regulars will have the those threads subscribed, and I'd imagine newcomers would search (I can only dream!!!) for a specific team they had in mind. That's my thoughts.

dafuge Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The two season minimum has now gone from the rules.I propose a minimum amount of in-game time between updates though. Thoughts? I think it is hard to put into writing. I tend to keep to annual updates, but if anything particularly interesting happens I will post about it 'live', I just find it easier to keep a story going that way. This could mean a series of posts within a small space of time, but only because they are of interest and are worth posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleys Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I agree with dafuge Although going over the top like Roolz does in the football manager thread in OTF shouldn't be allowed, e.g. posting after every goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleys Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Maybe instead of a set time to do updates there should just be a minimum amount of words per update (eg. at least 50/100 words) too prevent people from writing short updates from every day in the game.

peter-evo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Good evening everyone. Couldn't find this place. Haven't got FM09 installed at the minute so can not contribute in that sense, but look forward to having a nose around everyone else's careers. Well done for setting this up!
