For almost two decades, I’ve posted on this site, and I have enjoyed the banter and thoughts of some very talented and interesting people. 305 has taken ownership of the site, and I am impressed by his stewardship. Now, I think it’s time to draw in some new blood and make the site more popular. Ergo, I think we need to come up with suggestions on how to attract new members.
This year, our team appears to have considerably more talent than in past years, and I’ve found that Miami audiences only become galvanized when winning become habitual. This may happen this year, so I am hoping that this forum can ride the coat tails of greater athletic success. How can we build up participation?

Bring back the thugs in Miami. Nobody gives a shit anymore. Where’s Luke?
All I did was clean things up around here. It’s just a first step. And it’s nice to see a lot of discussion in the Shelter.
The real challenge will be bringing football fans into the fold when the season starts. It would be great if some of the old crew returns. True success would be drawing in new fans, which isn’t exactly easy these days.
Short of active advertising and stuff that I don’t think anyone has the time or energy for, the best we could do is have serious football discussions and analysis when the season’s here. And maybe finding some folks on twitter and other sites and inviting them over. And if anyone’s interested in doing write-ups of games or coaching or anything else that might find an audience, it’s a good time to start planning.
BUT I don’t think it makes sense to do anything until we play our first game.
AND if we beat the Gators, there will be a lot of excitement we can capitalize on.
Here’s hoping for a great season.
Advertising is too expensive. When we write posts on other sites, we need to send out an invitation with it. We’ve got Skeeter and Elite80 who are pro quality football guys. Plus we’ve got some good writers. We can put some blips on Facebook. This forum has a twenty year history and has had some of the best posters anywhere. I’d like to get some participation from Shadow. If we win, we’ll get more people. I just hope the hell we win that first game. I don’t worry about our passing game. I want to see some smashmouth football, and with the two huge backs we have the lads to do it.
