GIFFA’s 1st Anniversary

The GIFFA message board was launched on 17 November 2009, originally on Aimoo,before being moved to Proboards on 24 November 2009.   All a year ago now.

There have been important developments since then:

• All the scheduling of indoor football games has been on the message since then.
• The reporting on our games was moved to the message board early on.
• Most other indoor football-related aspects of the blog have been moved to the message board, and all remaining indoor football-related aspects will be moved from the blog to the message board in due course.
• The player lists are now on the message board, and no longer circulated by e-mail.
• Our regular games are all 7 (or 8 ) a side.
• All the regular games fill up largely on the message board.
• Some games are extremely popular.
• We also have regular women’s games.

Future developments include using “extra games” to seed new games, and a system of prepayment.

GIFFA is to date the only success of this blog. 🙂

As described above, the message board replaced the functions of this blog, and the message board was formally separated from this blog on 9 May 2010. Over a period of time, I will be deleting all posts on this blog prior to the revamp of this blog on 1 May 2010 (earliest posts first).  However, posts prior to May 2010 remain archived on the FIOFAFI Archive.
