I also notice on MoSports and Semoball there's not much chatter either. Come on folks join in. I see we have had 180 guests in a 24 hour period, so that tells me you all know it exists! Some of you old SCA posters, get your butts in here and chat with us!!!

Dew, It might be the name. It sounds kinda, a little bit maybe, like a Yiddish derogatory statement,LOL. scmohssports, where the scmohs talk about playing...... That's all in jest Dew.
Give it a full year for athletes and fans of all the sports to dip their toe in the water. There were several "SCA-Sports.com" t-shirts around when that took off. Maybe we could get some printed and sell them as a fund raiser for a scholarship? It would be a worthy cause and get the name out there. One school raising money maybe gets a token scholarship going. The whole conference might be able to do something amazing. Just a thought for consideration.

I had another thought on driving up users. When you enter the old web site address "sca-sports.com", you get an error message. It's a 404 error, server not found, which I think means it is no longer in use. You might want to consider procuring the old address and having it redirect to the new site.

79eagle you have good ideas, However I didnt want to use the old SCA initials because the spammers did a big # on the old site more than once. There's something about the s,c, and a initials that intrigued them to come along. Mr. Pierce also had Ozarkconference.com which also died before the sca site did. So I named it the best I could, south central mo high school sports for the sca conf and to see (in due time like a year or 2) if any of the old OC site folks would join, or our friend from Reeds Spring would have more people from his conference come and visit, we also have 3 or 4 from Lamar. I dont know that it will ever grow that big, but set it up for an All-Ozark usage in case it ever came to be. This is also why I made 2 categories, 1 for sca and one for not. If it remains sca only (which I do figure) then I will eventually move everything to one category. If it werent for spammers and idiots I would have used the SCA initials some way or how, but just was afraid to.

I doubt it was the name drawing spammers, but the number of members and views. Which means this site will eventually face the same fate, if it grows. You might consider increasing security when new members join. Is there a visual key to keep out bots? I don't remember. There should be a way to eliminate spammers and hackers by sorting out IP addresses. If you eliminate Russia, China, Africa, North Korea and Eastern Europe it should reduce the hacking risk exponentially.
