Internet forums in general are dying - these younger people use twitter, Facebook and insta to do their trolling etc.

Crikey, I remember when internet forums were a young man's game

Just looking at the numbers...in terms of active/logged in users, we're about where we've usually been for the last couple of years.

In terms of number of posts made by those users, the last 6 weeks - 2 months have been noticeably quieter. Prior to that (the early weeks of the season) again we were about normal for the last couple of years. And prior to that the summer was good, what with the World Cup.

So that suggests that whilst the number of visits to the site remains fairly consistent, there has been less engagement with the site just recently. That's something to look at. For my own part I've not been around here (or online in general) as much for the last month due to real life, but I'm back to normal now.

I think it's fair to say over time the old TFF gang has thinned out, the trick is always going to be attracting 'new blood' over time.



He's still here and posting occasionally, just under another name is all, and is about as subtle as ever!
Whats his or her username?

It was good a year or so ago when we had some funny characters still here. A lot were banned over #Nintendogate.

Admin on 1FF says they weren't approached

Well they were, not that it matters. Although they've never been good at responding to emails. Wouldn't surprise me if their contact us page goes to an unmonitored inbox.

We made an initial approach earlier this year, to buy them out.

It was ignored.

Okay I’ll respond behalf of the 1FF ownership team.

At no point have we received and offer for the site from any credible soutce who has attempted to engage in negotiations.

We get dozens of requests and offers of money each day from people willing to pour cash over us for an opportunity to put horrific advertising all over the site or offering to sell us other sites and domains.
Such contacts are unsolicited spam and deleted without response - you may have sent something that looked like crap spam that has been classed as such -

I guess we would need to see it to tell you why it was not responded to - feel free to pop what you sent in here as an image so everyone can see what was sent and we will provide a feedback.

Finally on behalf of the team - we have absolutely NO interest what so ever in selling the site to you or anyone else.

The answer is NO

Happy to, can’t see the site for adverts ....

Actually it’s blocked at work because of the advert content :)

At my age I couldn’t commit to something that would take that long to be delivered :)

I think this thread and my comment has been taken out of context; we sent a two sentence enquiry around 6 months ago without identifying ourselves as 1FF. This message was ignored, which isn't a problem, and 1FF have no confirmed no interest.

It's also not in our interests anymore as we approach the end of the tax year.

Let's all move on with our lives. :)

Hi TAFKAP had a good look through the account And did indeed find a message from 6 months ago saying ‘we would be interested in buying the site how much would you want for it’

The message didn’t say who was interested or why, so it didn’t get a response.

I didn’t mean to be curt, but 1FF is a hobby, the admin team pay for it because it is fun for us to use and for no other reason. It’s not a business, we don’t want it to be.

Afraid it’s not for sale

Peace out
Tracy

Can you print this on a banner and fly it over Grimsby? They all seem to have a fetish for single match threads over there.
Nope. We want combined match threads and it's not just Grimsby fans, there are loads of L2 posters that want them because they're way better not only for those not attending matches but also for the collective knowledge of the whole division.
