think BBI NFTsI never had access to the TR Facebook page, but if it's anything like that shitstorm invite only NYCFC page, then I agree.

If it's anything like their Facebook group, it'll be sexist, bro-ish, and unreadable. Hard pass from me.Why? As far as I could tell, most people thought it was best to not try to reinvent the wheel and have the group fold into the forums here. Apparently it was announced at the meeting that they are starting their own forum.
SMH.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm a TR member and this move just doesn't make sense to me.
I agree. Just hope they don't go with phpbb or another free platform. Lots of exploits.
Well we have a voice. I hope it isn't monetized. However, if it is I would imagine money would go towards whatever we want! I would vote for subsidized away trips.Dan touched on the meat of my concerns. If the TR keeps growing... and members use the forums for info... which is traffic to the website... and that traffic is monetized... and we're already paying members... what is that money for? Let's say the first response is maintaining the forums. (server costs, design costs, hosting, etc.) Ok, ad dollars should certainly amount to significantly more than that costs. What is that money for?
Was this voted on at the meeting?
I have to disagree with this. If you would like to know why, I will gladly take this into a private discussion.the nycfc supporters page is a general group not ran by the third rail and the third rail private group is obviously ran and monitored by the board members
No worries. Although it seems a bit late now. Understandable you are frustrated given that their actions were inappropriate. I would expect the ban to be reversed in the near future.Manuel you're right. I removed both comments.
I will still be here...forever and ever and ever <3I'm assuming it's a closed forum i.e. only TR members.
I don't mind (not TR). They have stuff they want to discuss away from the public, including non-TR NYCFC fans and other fans. This is an open forum, so it's natural they would create their own forum to discuss sensitive TR business.
I do hope they still come over here to talk general stuff about the team.
Our doors have always been open, to everyone.I'm running for Director of Membership for the Third Rail and, while I have no knowledge (yet) of the TR inner workings or the rumored history/bad blood between some TR board members and some people here, I will say unequivocally without pointing fingers that all NYCFC supporters can and should work together for the greater good of the club. Now that doesn't mean TR didn't have a good reason for creating their own forums, but I think this infighting among supporters should stop and if I become the Director of Membership I'll be trying to reach new members everywhere I can including these forums, which I love. Where can you find better, more dedicated supporters than these forums? Hopefully the relationship between the forum members here and the TR can be improved in the future.
Our doors have always been open, to everyone.
