How can I help out the 76ers forum and JustBball.com <div style="padding-left: 20px;">We ask nothing more of you than to post intellegent and truthfull information with adherence to the JustBball Guidelines. There are no fees to pay, no "support the site" catches, just straight up basketball talk on its highest level. Things you can do to help out a forum grow are become a regular poster of that forum, and add your own opinions in specified posts, and/or create threads that will spark interest in the majorities eyes, and will move them to offer their own opinions. Avoid creating multiple threads about the same subject, and also avoid post padding. Post padding is posting just for the sake of it, without offering your input in that discussion, but just something to get you noticed. That is a very big "no-no" here at JustBball, and extreme measures will be taken against those who do post pad, and do not behave at a level of courtesy and respect towards everyone on JustBball. Another way of helping out any team forum, is getting involved with the latest happenings of that team, this means staying up to date with new news surrounding the franchise, its players, staff, etc. You may also create game threads when a game is scheduled and discuss that game there which will draw more visitors towards the 76ers forum, and JustBball in general.</div> 5.) Where is the 76ers Lounge? <div style="padding-left: 20px;">The original premise of the team lounges was to reward forums had alot of active members,that maintained high traffic and generated lots of quality posts and discussions. We have gotten away from that in recent months. We feel that to maintain the integrity of our 'For Diehard Basketball Fans Only' stance we need to stick with the guidelines of a lounge as a reward for aforementions forums. These forums may once again be activated by doing the following things: 1. Having between 10 - 15 'quality' members that post daily and contribute to the forum. 2. Having a thriving forum with lots of quality message traffic. Some of you will say how is that done? The moderators of a forum need to recruit quality members and the members need to make the forum attractive to people by the quality posting and conversation. Making a quality forum takes work and I know some of you say you aren't moderators or your forums don't have moderators You don't need to be moderators to transform a forum into something good. Just be a dedicated member who wants to contribute and have a quality forum.</div> Miscellaneous The following are links to select websites across the world wide web pertaining to the 76ers, please familiarize yourselves with these links in order to provide information for this forum in terms of news, game previews, and other needed information. <u>Team Info</u> NBA.com - Philadelphia 76ers Homepage NBA.com - Philadelphia 76ers Roster NBA.com - Philadelphia 76ers Schedule NBA.com - Philadelphia 76ers Statistics NBA.com - Philadelphia 76ers Player Guides <u>News Source</u> SI.com - Pro Basketball - Philadelphia 76ers Team Page ESPN.com: NBA Philadelphia 76ers Clubhouse Yahoo!
