Future for the forum?

[Yen]

Hey guys it's been a while,

The forum has been on the down side for a quite a while now, what are your suggestions on what you want on the forum? More competitions, information etc.

Beyondfootball official competition 2013...
that's all I could think of

[VRK]

before comps or stuff let's make a proper vid. of kinda re launching this site... we all can give 10-15 sec clips a good vid. nicely edited kinda driving everyone to re visit or to register to this site  just to attract guys out there.... we just have to make our presence felt only comps aint gonna do it... if there are no freestylers with the forum compititors would be less too... a good 3 min vid is gonna do it i guess...

good ideas! Adi and I have been discussing an idea that hopefully can really liven the place back up here.
Glad to see you guys are still around

When will everyone realise forums just won't work anymore? It's pointless trying to save it, it's dead and it'll be forever (sadly enough). L2F lost all activity too, forums just aren't appealing anymore.
You can't force people to come here, and I doubt they will suddenly think about rejoining a dead forum just because of nice memories. Also, nobody will join an online competition anymore organised on either l2f or BF, on both forums they are shit since freestylers don't care about online comps anymore.

Just let it die in peace instead of trying to save it for the 15th time

Thoughts on Beyond Football becoming a weekly podcast?

That's not true. There are still plenty of very active forums. It appeals to different types of people. There are many things we need to do, some small and some big. Big things would be a proper video marketing Youtube channel. That would get the name out there to new people to freestyle. Yen has made the podcast idea which could be cool as well. Small things would be just making an effort to create interesting topics, not just freestyle too. One of the greatest feelings is finding new things in common with people you already have something in common.

Make it a forum about general life then instead of freestyle :D Come on, it's been more than a year since people tried to save this forum and it NEVER worked. Stop being unrealistic and just admit it, only noobs will join

I think you may be one of the problems. How about your broaden your horizons? Or are you really just that boring of a person?

You did realize I meant to make both interesting freestyle topics and non-freestyle topics right? I'm sorry, but I don't think any forum can survive with 100% of it's talk being purely on the main topic. Every other forum I've ever looked at or posted on has had very popular general chat boards. In fact, there are large bases of the forum that mainly post in those sections. They originally joined for the main topic, but they find they enjoy talking about other things more. Most forums embrace this. Only Beyond Football has stuck it's nose up at it. That has to change.

We are all here, because we like freestyle. We all know that. Some people would just like more than only freestyle. Also, I mentioned that as a small thing we can do on here. Yen creating a topic like this is a start, because we are talking.

P.S. What's wrong with noobs joining the forum? They have to start somewhere. You were a freestyle noob once, and you are still a noob in many life qualities.
