Actually, I don"t think anything has changed that much.
The suggestion of collusion or cheating on this thread was extreme to say the least, but it did lead to a useful discussion which in turn led to a clarification of the T"s & C"s in the league.
The issue of asking players to use facebook when there is an area on this forum that would do exactly the same job regarding player lists and discussions is something I was and am still against. We want the traffic on the APAT site. It"s good for our sponsors, which is good for the players.
Where Facebook and the like works better than the forum is in reminding players about the games through invites and such, so having Facebook pages is a great way to promote the league.
I know Brian has a busy BCPC website and facebook group, and I"m sure if he sets up a West Midlands APAT Page, it will be as busy, and therefore a great promotional addition to spreading the APAT word.
Once again, a Brian Yates thread sees positive change to APAT. (Never thought I"d see myself typing that
)
