Ad issues

This announcment is to inform you that there have been three separate issues involving ads since last week. The ad issue last week was resolved in one day.

We had another ad issue spring up Wednesday of this week and was resolved last night and early this morning.

This morning we have yet a third ad causing problems.

You may have already noted pages load in very slowly from time to time. That has been due to ads, taking too long to load. Most of the time the site will load in 80% with the remaining 20% taking a lot longer to finish loading. When that happens, the bottom 1/3 is not visible. And you may find some drop down boxes do not work until the ad loads in completely.

I regret that all of us that all of have to be exposed to this issue.

It has been promptly reported.

User password, please read

There is a newish "spambot" doing the rounds at the moment that is attacking vBulletin forums.

It attempts to log in by going through the entire list of members and then logging on with the same password as the username, if that fails it tries a password of "password".

Once the bot logs on, it sends spam messages via PM from the user it has attacked, it then moves on to log in as another user etc - it also changes your password so you cannot log in (and presumably so it can log on again in the future)

A bit of common sense with your password on this forum and any other vBuuletin forums that you use is all you need to prevent this attack.

So if your password is the same as your username or is simply 'Password', Change it NOW!

Editorial writers wanted!

Do you have what it takes to show off your writing skills. Well if you do Footballforum's editorial staff is looking for you.

1. Editorials should have three parts: First is the introduction, where you state what your contention is. This should usually be one paragraph in length, and never any longer than two paragraphs. The next section is the body, or the evidence you present to back up the claims that you’ve made in your introduction. Lastly is the conclusion—another one or two paragraph matter. Here you summarize your contention and evidence, and lay out any warnings you especially want the reader to remember (if such exists).

2. Do not be afraid to be controversial and when you do, write with confidence! No one has all the answers, but you should write as though you do.


3. Let your personality come out: If you’re known for sarcasm, be sarcastic. If you’re known for being funny, find a way to inject humor into your writing.

4. Use emotion. Tell how *you* feel, or felt. If you’re angry—express it! If you’re happy—let it show. Talk about the emotion of your subject and talk about the emotion of others.

5. Make every sentence count, and use as few words as possible to make your point. Clear, short sentences are best. Check your grammer and spelling twice.

Editorials to be posted on Blogs, once week! We require only one blog a week. It will then be featured in all of the forums in the network.

We are looking primarily for Basketball only, however, if you want, you can write about any sport.

Attention aspiring journalists

Do you love to write about your favorite team or league?

Are you a talented writer that would love to have your opinion based articles read by hundreds or thousands of people?

Have you considered a career in sports journalism? Maybe we can help.

We are looking for writers to write about the NFL. CFL AFL and NFLE fulltime. This is not a paying position. Payment will be the chance for you to sharpen your writing skills and to develop a base of loyal reads.

If you think you you have what it takes and if you have the time to write a weekly column for us then we need to talk.

Send me a sample of your writing skills to me at the e-mail below.

Blogger welcomed!
