This forum was amazing when we opened it up, as there was an influx of traffic and activity.
It seems as though the forum has died down in discussion, which has caused some to leave/not come here as often. Which in turn, has caused even less discussion, and that process has been happening for a few months now.
We have discussed the notion of making this public for a while now, but whenever it came up, it just kind of died out and was put on the backburner.
I am taking a stand, and this is GONNA happen. There is no risk. At NFL.com, I cannot fathom the amount of people that I met. We need to spread and see if we can get more people on board.
Many do not know this, but right now we have 8 pending registrations here. Not sure how they found this place, but regardless, it shows that people WANT to come here and that it IS possible for people to find this forum.
So within the next week, we will move public for anyone to join. While we wait, I ask anyone to find any threads or posts that may be personal so that we can do due diligence and delete it. In addition, change your profile accordingly and hide anything you don't want known.
Thank you.

It's a shame how recruiting every new member was handled, under the microscope. Some of the petty worries and oft-ridiculous reasons some had to reject would anger and pain me almost to the point of tears sometimes. But that's water under the bridge. So now we've got an opposite scenario. IDK what kinda suggestions you're looking for if it's "gonna happen" anyway. Except make a new section for new members to introduce themselves and ask that they do so in your 'welcome to the forum' PM. That alone should create a lot of interest for existing members as well. Question...how long have these 8 people been pending?

How long have they been pending? ===Some as early as August
Well, to be fair, I do not recall "rejecting" many people at all.
Yes, I am going to make an "Introduce yourself" thread.

Well, to be fair, I do. Not specifically by you of course. But many never even made it to the vote process. Water under the bridge. August. IDK what you guys are waiting for, this place ain't getting any busier. Hope they even remember by now why they tried to come here. hehe

Make an entire "introduce yourself" sub-board so that everyone can do their own, and also old members can!

Also, if we go public, we need tighter moderation, especially on the newbies. This is not going to become NFL.com.

I mean business - you see my avatar? lol Well, for one, we will not be nearly as populated as NFL.com (at least for a LONG time, if that), so if there are problems, PM a mod (there will be some anointed very soon) and we will be able to handle it soon. And there will almost always be a Moderator online.
