      I'm feeling the same way! This can be a great venue, but need posters to step up and bring content. I guess you and I need to start that trend.

        Well obviously I don't know everything there is to know but the infrastructure is in place and will be in place for years to come, meaning the site isn't going anywhere, regardless.

        Now that being said. I am open to thoughts and ideas as well as allowing others who have the time and interest run the place.

          I'll also add the following.

          Texas High School Football Talk was incorporated in the State of Texas late last year (Texas High School Football Talk, Inc.). There are only a handful of corporations in Texas that contain the name "Texas High School Football". We had to acquire the blessing of the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame in order to get approval from the state and they (Hall of Fame) protect that name for a reason.

          Also, the name "Texas High School Football Talk" is now a Registered Trademark on the Federal Trademark Registry and is the only name in the registry that contains the words "Texas High School Football".


          Long term commitment is assured.

              Let me know if there are any RSS feeds you would like to see.

              Dallas Morning News High School Sports has been having issues for quite some time now. I added WFAA Sports in general.

              Thanks,

                    That has been the issue since day one. It's hard to draw new folks here because rightly or wrongly this site has the rep as being the home for those that have been kicked off the other board. I and others like Super B have placed plenty of content here, but it hasn't drawn many regular posters from our respective fanbases. I don't know the answer but it's something more than just content.

                      Yeah, we were labeled as rejects, troublemakers, anything goes here, wild west or whatever. Kudo's to both SuperB and SVHorns for their time and effort. I for one appreciate them more than they know.

                      As previously stated, the doors here will stay open regardless of activity. I feel the infrastructure of the site is in place as there are a lot of useful ways of communicating with one another that other sites have yet to offer. The live broadcasting of games is attracting the attention of some youth texas football league parents as it's helpful to those parents who aren't able to attend their children's games. All in all we are setup to become online communities for various groups around the state.

                      I have stated earlier, if someone or a group of someone wants to step in and run the site, I would be open. I can say this, my real life business wasn't a success because of what I knew, it was because I had people who were smarter than me working it.

                        In hindsight I was a bot too optimistic. I knew it wouldn't happen overnight. But I certainly thought with a full start to finish football season under our belt we would build a solid core of dozens of posters and that would mean plenty enough content and discussion to feel like we were well on our way.

                        I will say this. There are dozens of Texas HS Football forums/boards. All have varying levels of participation and success. Most do indeed start out slowly and build up over time. As long as this place is here and we continue to grow at whatever, even minuscule rate and do not regress, that is success, albeit at a small level.

                        I have long since been out of ideas apparently.

                              I'm starting to look at this board again because I'm getting tired of the GHA monopoly on the other board. I'm sorry, GHA, in my view, is not the only region in Texas with good athletes.

                                The board will be here and is here to stay! Bring your friends!
                                I know, it's veryyyyy slow and being ridiculed but that's okay, as Mr. Miagi said, patience danielson!

                                btw.. working on a deal that if successful, should bring a lot of activity here.

                                  I like the board and this is just constructive criticism but I don't think the right URL was chosen. I can never remember what it is. Not that it matters much for me since it is bookmarked. Course it could be that I'm just not smart enough to remember it. A longer name that is easier to remember would have made sense like texasfootballtalk.com or txfootballtalk.com.

                                    Thanks for the input. Are you using texasfbt.com? That's the main domain name. Also own the following domain names and they all should be pointed to texasfbt.com.

Not that it matters much for me since it is bookmarked. Course it could be that I'm just not smart enough to remember it. A longer name that is easier to remember would have made sense like texasfootballtalk.com or txfootballtalk.com.
                                      Just purchased and forwarded the following domain names to www.texasfbt.com

                                        That figures, texasfootballtalk.com literally the one I tried the other day when seeing if you had other URLs that forwarded. Anyway kudos to actually buying all those domains.
