im new to this thread and frankly couldnt be d reading it all. but a rugby league social networking sight? tweak RLfans a little bit and youve got one. expand the profiles, allow for live sharing of status posts. and your sorted. than again i know nothing of computers and still live in hope that all Bus and train stations and airports will soon be replaced with Stargates.

knowing full well they dont exist.

I'd be signing up rightaway. Sounds good. Only downer I can think of will be alot of b1cthing would happen between opposing fans.

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.

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





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.....

Free?? love that word, I'm in.

bluddy hippies

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??!









Dally messenger will be along in a minute to post 'whenever i'm struggling to find a link to post i always tune into rlfans. its a right rivetting read'











I would just like to take this opportunity to say that this is a fantastic site by the way

Listen, if you think it's a good idea,



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



.



I think it's a good idea but it's you that counts



. Just get on with it and if it is a good idea then you are onto a winner



. 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.

Ahhh, free love, why did it pass me by??

...While you seem to be pushing the mods in to a decision

If this did take off, the one thing i wouldn't do is add PHIPPS

84 posts in to your RLFANS career and you know what we all do for a living....you and I will get on just fine methinx





...that's at least 6 people so far....going great guns this RLBOOK.COM









..counts what? The money leaving your account when you pay for everything I listed above and more.....are you an accountant BTW?



and pigs will fly....





...it will



....or if you're not in you can't win...another saying associated with gambling





....well done. Collect any prize from the middle shelf..





Seriously...if this was a brilliant idea it would not involve nicking the general concept from another social site.....and relying on a sport with about 90,000 fans who attend games every week during the season.



I suspect someone has been to the cinema to watch a certain film about a certain website and now thinks they are Richard Branson







......but he has more identities than Jason Bourne...how would you know it was him
