I might re-brand this entire forum.

Not sure what but maybe footy or something else.  No point in having it if no freestylers are using it.

i see it as healthy competition between 2 forums. One is winning and the other is uummm, not.

Maybe it is because most people rather support Macca than Adi.

Facebook is very different to any forum. The only two decent pages that i know are 'I am a football freestyler' and 'Proud to be a freestyler'. But those pages have far less activity than BF, even on BF's most boring days.

That's quite sad if that's the case...

Who gives a rat's ass whose forum this is.  The forum was never about me... it's a platform for freestylers.  I helped build the platform and that's it.

It didn't matter that I was behind BF a few years ago when things were good, but now that things are slow it's a thing of Adi vs Macca. 

Piss off with that rubbish... :rolleyes:

By the way, I respect Macca and wish him the best of luck. 

I really hope his site becomes huge.  It's a great website and he's doing the right things.

I was never about making money from Beyond Football so I'm not all about competing to be #1.

I think Macca could use Beyond Football's name and reputation with search engines.  We are still ranked very high and maybe he could make use of that.  Ultimately, BF should be like his site.  I think the combo of our Google presence and his site/content would be great.

Macca - if you ever want to use the BF name and replace our homepage with yours, just let me know.  I don't think you'll want to but if you want to run the future BF just let me know.

No, most people do not have anything personal against you Adi. It is simply that they may prefer to support L2F and do not have the time support both L2F and BF.

There is no Adi vs Macca.

......I see some people posting on both forums. But most people just post on one. And most people have chosen L2F and could not be bothered to post the same thing twice on L2F and BF.

I can't pull up the L2F forum... what link are you using?

There really is no point in having two forums.  All it does is split the people.  It's not like either forum offers anything that different from the other.

It's best to merge the two but that probably won't happen.

i'm not using l2f forum, and i visit this forum a lot to watch new vids, but i almost don't leave comments anymore. for me, the level of videos is so high i cannot leave comments worthful for the video. Maybe comments like "wow thats awesome" may motivate, but barely anyone knows me so it's not that supportive than getting the same comment from someone with a high level of freestyle.
