I'm struggling to think of a better thread-title, so if anyone has any ideas fire away.

Actually, how does the Pimp my Site Superthread sound?

heres my flickr site its pretty crap, every photo on that page was taken by a 4 to 10 year old ( i think not sure on their exact ages).


Anyway the point is i bring my kids to matches and let them loose on the camera (cant slate my pic taking abilities then ) , its an interesting idea but flickr want money from me so the last 3 games will be uploaded to photcucket as its free and im over my limit on flickr.

I think applying the word "Super" to so many threads has started going a bit too far

I don't see this one being a hot bed of posting mayhem.

It'll get seriously abused my me

Hopefully there'll be no bickering this time.

Great idea, TRO, anyone with football related stuff to plug should give it a try, there's some very helpful Boardies around to help.

Might be just me, but there's grounds for a double meaning there. Would "must not be" be a less ambiguous option in the above posts?

The thread title is bizarre. Even knowing the content I can't make sense of it. Pimp my Site is much more understandable.

Howdy all,

A quick update on Back Page Football. As you know, Boards was a big help to the site when we first started out (remember that thread?!). After all, it was two Boardies who created the site and as time went on we've had some people from here write on the site, so we felt it was right to give you all a quick update on what's been happening.

Since August '09 it has been onwards and upwards for us, and this past month we have seen our best for page clicks, unique visitors and returning visitors, an almost 600% increase since the turn of the year which is absolutely fantastic.

Articles have been getting better, and as our team of writers strenghtens we've been turning out quality as well as quantity on a daily basis.

We've got some plans in the works that will come in time, some pretty epic from an Irish perspective, and others on a universal level as we go into the World Cup and on in to next season, so stay tuned for that.

A big thanks to all who have read, wrote on, subscribed and enjoyed the site.

BPF Team.

Thanks a mil! It's really snowballed recently and we've managed to get some really talented writers to contribute.

For anyone who hates twitter, facebook etc, we'd be nowhere without the networking they offer.
