Monty & Mods.

Thinking we should/could? have a featured articles section, maily aimed at weekly write ups. For example my articles on rooks could feature and LaHugs Captains is a stand out.

Figure being FF featured articles Monty or Mods would maybe want articles submitted for approval and we could get weekly articles going up.

Benefit being it could attract more members/visitors to the site to read the weekly articles for advice. Ultimitely generating more members and more traffic for the site. Also would add prestige to the site provided the articles are always quality.

Other articles could be on general player trade article, rooky info, captain options, round preview, round review, vfl wrap, in the mix, teams after named......

Thoughts?

You never really drummed up much of an "idea" here Colli.

Weekly articles already exist, I think you were sort of already asking for a section for the articles or something?

If you're after a forum section for featured articles I think that'd be a backwards step as player/trades is the most viewed section and that's where most (if not all) of these articles are posted there.

Therefore by creating a featured article section they're probably only going to get less attention. Also if there's a section for it, do you have to submit the articles to the mods (you sort of touched on this) - just creates more work for the mods who are already pretty busy) or if anyone could post in that section we'd just get Spuds posting random articles making it not very useful.

Yeah the BE and reserves rap etc from Richoet should all featured.

They provide some handy information.

LaHug

I think more some kind of link to said articles on the front page is the idea. If people visit this page and see important and relevant articles on the front page, they're more likely to get their friends to the site and, as the internet always works, people would (hopefully) flood here like some sort of domino effect...

Pretty much what I'd say. I love the idea of users being able to submit articles and can attract more people with people's opinions and info on players.
