Quote: PHIPPS "Well within facebook groups you can post messages, have wall posts, discussions, upload photos, comment on other people photos etc etc'"


I’ve joined a few of these rugby league facebook groups and I must say that I haven’t been too impressed. There post about 50 things a day that I couldn’t give a damn about and I’ve soon put them on ‘hide’. Just like them, I’ll be putting you on ‘ignore’ soon.

Quote: PHIPPS "A lot of people are on Facebook. A lot of people talk about rugby league on Facebook. However, a lot of people have friends on Facebook that couldn't really care if you post about rugby league and it's this bridge that i'll be attempting to fix.'"


I think that in the next ten years we’ll see more social networks catering for people’s interests rather than having one big one like Facebook. There’s a fair few social networks that I can’t get on because I’m not wealthy enough for example - www.affluence.org/login.php

I very rarely go on facebook these days and that’s probably because there’s other websites far more interesting. Websites like RLFANS..

Niche facebooks? .....Friends reunited....forces reunited.......they were a really good investment for ITV icon_biggrin.gif

Given that about 80,000 RL fans that attend SL games each week, if there was a market for such groups, then some soccer fan would have cracked it. Cricinfo is one of, if not the busiest sports website on the planet.....even they know to leave well enough alone.
Remember, facebook is not a charity...it is required to turn a profit and the key to this is data.......I will stick to RLFANS.COM where I know my identity will not be sold to marketing firms or my visits will not be subjected to behavioural targeting.........but good luck with all the elements associated with getting your idea off the back of a beer mat and on-line....servers, capacity, search engine optimisation, moderating, legal issues, e-communications, privacy issues etc..... d040.gif

Is it just me or are some people who are on a bit of a 'sticky wicket' on the forum using this thread to point out the virtues of RLFans in a futile attempt to delay the inevitable??!

Quote: 101% LEAGUE FAN "Hi guys,

before we start, this isn't any attempt to advertise, I just wanted to get a few people's opinions on a possible new project ive started working on.

Listen, if you think it's a good idea, a046.gif a046.gif just do it. Don't be put off by the no-mark never achieved anythings who want everyone to be just like them and achieve nothing icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED: icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED: .

I think it's a good idea but it's you that counts k020.gif k020.gif . Just get on with it and if it is a good idea then you are onto a winner icon_biggrin.gifANCE: icon_biggrin.gifANCE: . If its a crap idea, then it will sink without trace but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

PS I've just learned how to use smilies I think.
