I think the f2f matters to the sites that have it, because it definitely "builds and keeps" their site in the national eye amongst the other fanbases.
It doesn't really matter (much, imo) to us in the sense that both PC and PPO -- as an excellent example--- are the two "big" sites for their respective fan bases, forums-wise, yet...
(PPO is the purple f2f site)
PPO seems to have a lot more "interconnectivity" with US, instead of PC.
Really, all that would need to happen is for members HERE to link with the f2f sites of the other teams. The reason being is that we would build a relationship with each of those sites, regardless if we are a "formal" member of the f2f alliance. That alliance is obviously important to the site owners, but the fans themselves...not so much, except to FIND the other fan's sites.
That link I provided does precisely that. We know where to go already.
:thumbleft:
I think PC was one of the absolute original members there. If my theory is true (I seem to recall making an attempt to have us recognized) ---
You were climbing rapidly in membership rolls, were getting in the neighborhood of PC in a pure numbers sense, strengthening a case if an attempt was going to be made in order to "wrest control" of that designation from PC, if you so desired.
Then you shit-canned 2/3 of the members here , lol
(Pullin' your chain, I know why you did it, lol)
