Now that dust has settled and we've been using the new site for a while, I'd like to say...

Thank you!

Excellent job! Literally, everything about the site is better.

Now we need to grow membership.

And in that vein I'd like to say that, for my part at least, feel free to lean on the community for assistance in that regard. If you need help, put the call out and let's get some of us freeloaders involved in growing this place.

Everyone can start by sharing good threads or articles on FB, X, etc.

Thanks guys.
It is a struggle.

We are self funded. Competing with some of the other sites that are sponsored by #WorldRugby is tough.

The best thing we can do is share share share.
Facebook, X, WhatsApp etc…
We’ve made it quite easy to share articles and threads.

If you would like to get involved further, we’re always keen to join up.
If you drop me an email, we can set up a chat to discuss some ideas.

At the moment - since the relaunch - we have pretty much doubled our readership. But getting new posters seems to be a challenge.

Happy to hear your thoughts.

Cheers
Ed

I agree it’s a struggle, but from past experience, getting a new poster is one thing—having them stick around is another. Still, if everyone gives it a try, who knows? One suggestion: if a new poster joins, ED should give them a warm welcome.

So absurd it's funny ... obviously not funny for the people affected...and one should have empathy for people struggling for being too different to fit into normal society...but expecting the whole society to change drastically just to accommodate a tiny fraction is just daft.

I've been thinking of doing some comical animated cartoon style videos using AI and sticking them on Youtube.

I'll have some time in the coming month to play around a bit and will upload the videos to a private channel for the Ruckers crowd.

Perhaps, if the quality is good enough, and the humour on point, Ruckers could post them and use it as an avenue for engagement.

I know there are some creatives on here...

If you guys are have a bit of time, make some short scripts for videos like that...only 10-20 seconds long, and lets see if we can turn them into Ai videos.

Some ideas i have...

  • A parody of the PSDT "As jy bang is, se.."
  • Eben putting Kolbe into an actual handbag and swinging the handbag during "Handbags".
  • Rassie using the lights to blind opposition players

Thoughts?
