If there is one thing that just pisses me off sometimes, its that I cannot find a team's messageboard after a game or when something important happens to them.

Not all the teams have messageboards on thier official homepage (matter of fact, I bet less than half do).. and so many fans end up congregating on other sites.. but they arent always easy to find.

The Dolphins, for example, can be found at www.finheaven.com.


Since this is a board for ALL NFL fans, I dont think these team specific forums are really any competition.. I think people would still post just as much on these forums because it reaches a wider audience.

So my suggestion is to create a stickied thread in the NFL forum where people can submit team forums.. we would then take the ones that get a high amount of traffic, and put them in the post as a link for people to use when they want to see what is going on with that team's fans.

We will never do that because those sites are in competition with us for posts.

***.scout.com. Insert pretty much any sports team in there and bam, a message board. Although in many cases the board is inactive or just sucky... the Browns one rocks though compared to Dawg Talk

Ok, hmm..

Would it be bad if I made a post in the NFL forum asking for people to PM me the URL to the best forum site for thier team?

The reason I ask is because that could lead to some people posting the URL in a reply instead of a PM.

I dont want to rock the boat

Yeah, we could do that.

BUT THEY HAVE TO BE FROM OFFICIAL SITES.

Prolly put it in the NFL Discussions forum. A sticky at the top. Gather the information and let me know when you post it and I'll sticky it.
