Hey Devin, you may have a point there mate and some folks will always
prefer one source/format to another.

Indeed, and I by far prefer Usenet to soccer forums. Mostly because of
the people, but also for the quality of posts (of course not all posts
are quality at all...), the lack of moderation, the feeling of freedom
to post and say whatever you want, and just simply the format itself.

I'm very new to this group but there's some great banter going on. I
actually syndicate with RSS and use RSS as my main soccer/footie
forum.

Well, welcome to the group! Are you an Aussie? I'm basing my assumption
solely on your use of the word, "mate" ^_^

We've only added RSS in the last week or so and we are a relatively new
site buit hope the forum format may attract more users to this community
and will bring with it some additional quality contributions for
discussion, especially as the WC gets ever closer.

People came out of the woodwork during WC'02, and the same may very
well happen depending on which teams are successful. For example, I
recall a huge influx of German posters during the Cup in '02, due to
Germany doing quite well obviously.
