So, I know I've been gone a week and its kind of dickish to just appear back and start saying negative things, but, I think my place as one of the most active members of the forum kind of negates that, so, I'll just say what I think.

In my week of not being here, I checked FFI occasionally and I keep seeing a lot of the guys from here have got on FFI and post there a lot. Whilst, ya know, yea, its great to be on FFI, I personally don't want to right now. You know why? because I want this place to grow more. Its growing, but its in a rut because nothing that needs to be sorted or changed gets done, and, then, people get annoyed/frustrated and when they're presented with something not annoying, a la FFI, they bugger off.

So, we need stuff to get done.
HARVEY. I like you, you're a nice dude, but, if you don't want to do anything here because you're playing xbox or w/e, fair enough, but don't let us sit around and not fix it ourselves. Nominate me or another moderator to be admin, or what ever you see fit. But we need to make a few changes around here that have been outlined in other topics, and they cant be done because the only one that can do them is YOU. I don't mean to have a go, I just love this place and don't want to see it wither away with everyone going to FFI. FFI is nice, but, until its open for EVERYONE, we should be the forum people go to instead. We can make ourselves that big and this place will get better and better

EVERYONE ELSE. Don't go. I mean, by all means post on FFI if you're on there, but, if you like this place and want it to have a future, stay here too. I've seen plenty of interesting things come up on ffi last week and noone has 'discussed' them here. If you've got a thought, post a topic, talk to people! Thats what forums are for. It seems almost like this place is too much about whos brought what. Discuss! Theorise! Have a fucking laugh! What ever you want.

Thankyou for reading

agree totally, i just think some people feel that they dont need to post stuff from ffi on here cos its already been said over their?......i dunno.....also alot of stuff that gets said over at ffi gets discussed in the chat room

and im not going anywhere...i love this place....ffi is good, dont get me wrong, its a bit like i said earlier....u can feel the love here.....something most forums dont have

harvey i dont know u personally dude, but why not let someone trustworthy like kerry or one of the mods take over while your playing with fish?

i agree i guess

we need advertising

yeah when my company opens ill put the link to here on the homepage

more members , but to grow as a forum it will take time and i hope it does grow and get better

yeah, kerry for admin, he's the oldest and knows how to sort everything out, harvey isnt active enough, this place is just going to end up like fbspot if its not sorted

I'm glad you guys agree And yea, more advertising.. If anyone has seen the 'support fbweekly' thing they've got on fbweekly atm.. I'm gonna make a video for that that advertises FBHQ soon, hopefully that'll get more people to know about here ^_^

same, as soon as i get this goddamn computer ram ive been meaning to get for 2 months!!!

if you want any bits in it you could send me footage and I could edit it and send it off. Or maybe we could do a forum video, get everyone who wants to to put some tricks in? That might be a fun idea

forum montage, everyone has 3 tricks, montage called something that will get harveys attention when he sees it in his youtube subscription updates something like 'HARVEY WE NEED YOU'
that sounds crap but just to get an idea

thats a pretty good idea actually

help harvey
for just 3 tricks a day
you could help get harvey kick his addiction
every day, over 17000 kids get addicted to cod and now you can help!
call 0800-help harvey to contribute

amazing

qft

And, I'm happy everyone sees things how I do, and, if I could be admin, I'd try my best to make this place even better than it is now. I don't mind if harvey comes back or if me or anyone is made admin, we just need an admin.

KERYYYYYY FOR PREZ!

where is he anyways ???

who harvey? hes addicted to playing call of duty on xbox so he doesn't come on here. Hes probably at home playing it right now : o Or, maybe its tea time right now

But, yea, thats where he is as far as we know

thats just sad ! urrgh ! how can people get that addicted to a game ! and if you become admin maybe there will be a chance we can make the forum more professional looking

I've thought that since day 1 here. Why does it look like a lame nuclear reactor or something? wtf is that to do with fingerboarding? haha..

i prefer it like this, i hate forums that have pictures as icon things
i like this look

I wouldn't change pictures as icon things, just, make a more relaxed theme, something mellow and fun, with maybe a fingerboarding related banner at the top. And a white background, I think grey is too.. industrial, for fingerboarding, which is mellow and organic. Or, to me it is. But, there should be a vote as to whether it'd change or not, that way its fair and the whole forum gets a say

Im on ffi, i have been almost as long as ive been on here. Tbh, its way more fun here, its a more close community where everyone talks to everyone, unlike on ffi where your not respected unless you are an OG or own a company or blog or whatever. If i could look at my post count on ffi, it would be way lower than on here.

and

Kerry for Admin!!

i can make a couple banners
