Announcement concerning 606v2

First topic message reminder :

Hello all.

The forum has now been going for just over 6 months and since its inception, we have grown more quickly than any of us could ever have imagined.

We have exceeded well over the 3,000 member mark and are closing in on the half a million post mark, to which we owe you our thanks.

We have had some exciting link ups in these 6 months since launch, and continue to work hard for you, the members, to get exclusives.

From competitions and Q&As to a discounted shop and sponsored charity, the last 6 months have gone by in a blur. We hope to carry on in this vein over the coming months and years, and will be looking to get bigger names and prizes as we move forward.

However, as we gain more exposure, we have also come encountered some issues, too, and that is the reason why this message is going out to you.

I recently tried to get a mini interview with Robbie Savage whilst covering the John Hartson Trophy match. I did manage to get interviews with some of the stars (Calzaghe, Gethin Jones, Hartson etc) but was knocked back by Robbie. The reason?

606.

Robbie was very pleasant but this is what he said (a paraphrasing of his comments, anyway).

You are the guys from 606v2 aren't you? I can't talk to you. I am not being an arse, but I am not allowed to talk to you due to the name. My bosses have told me not to get involved with you, that's why I haven't tweeted your messages.....etc

I was also told to avoid the BBC lawyer at the event!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Hero and I discussed it at the time and agreed that maybe it is better to think about changing the name of the site. The majority of people who would have joined from 606 will have done so by now - the continued growth of the forum will not be down to 606 members but they will come through other avenues - advertising, facebook, twitter, link ups etc.

The name 606 doesn't actually mean anything to anyone not familiar with the old forum, and it could stop us growing should the BBC decide to ever re-open or actively chase us down the legal route.

Therefore, we have decided to rebrand the forum at some point in the near future to the v2sportsforum.

And this is where you guys and gals come in. We are going to have ourselves a little competition.

We need a new logo.

So although there is no prize so to speak, you may get to design our new logo and be part of our history.

If you want to submit an entry, just post it on this thread (within a spoiler tag of course) and be a part of the v2 history going forward. The logo must fit in with the current colour scheme of the site, and the Mod and Admin team will decide upon the winner. Feel free to design a logo for both "v2" and "v2sportsforum" as we may use the "v2" brand elsewhere in the future.

Thanks once again for all of your support so far - let's now all work on the next step in our growth.

They get transformed into spoilers by bald magic within minutes, in the future I shall try and master the art myself before posting.

I always thought that video was in poor taste. A song that asks "Hello is it me you're LOOKING for?" and a video about a blind girl.

Have you noticed that Boris from Goldeneye was also in the band?

Scottrf wrote:Yeah that's a man, check out the hands.

I suppose that skill comes in useful, what with you being a fan of oriental 'ladies'...

Scottrf wrote:Yeah that's a man, check out the hands.

I was always told never to go out with a bird with big hands.

Michaels, Sean wrote:What's a fivehead?

A forehead plus one.

My reaction exactly !!!

just joinin'

Some comments have been removed. Yummy I have sent you a pm. If you wish to reply, do it via pm not on this thread.

I think we should try and include 'sports bar' in the title.....I think that sounds good.

Cyber Sports Bar.....or Cyber Sports Cafe

That's the best I can come up with for the moment

And free virtual drrinks. And virtual wimmin... an tings.

That will get the virtual punters in. Tested and proven script.

Ok I'm fine with drinks and wimmin but I haven't got any tings, where do you get them ting things Mr Gibson, are they only available in Amsterdam like clogs

The tings that live inside of all of us Ruby. Those tings that draw us towards all Sports and all it entails. Like friendship. Bitching at each other every week. Virtually ripping de pish out of each other. And then... finding common ground on the way.

Don't mind me. I'm on my prescribed, half-hour break - on the Bedlam PC.

Why not just the name the forum after me...I guarantee the number of members would fly through the roof.
