Does anyone notice that we have over 900 managers in what seems to be less than a week?!?!?!?!?! I wonder if that many people actually signed up?

We were in the mid 600's the last time I checked which was not long ago. A week ago?

Eek.

This was probably why they added a 5th division in Canada this year. They planned on advertising more, so they wanted to make sure they had the space, just in case the advertising was really effective.

It sucks for all the people that have to accept that many applications in that short of time haha.

But you know what? I'm going to love the competition of playing against new people AND hopefully more players going to the U21 National team will be homegrown instead of foreign (did I spell that word right?) countries. So lets have some more people join please :).

It is great to have that many new people to sign up and to all of the newbies out there, welcome to BB Canada. I'd like to encourage them to read the game manual first, read through some of the forums and it would be great if we could have newbies posting in here.

As an aside, would it be worth bolstering our mentor crew seeing as we have had an apparent big bump in signups? That way hopefully we can get a good number of people to understand how this game works a little better and retain as many as possible.

I too am wondering what else we can do to try to build the community.

Is there any way we can send out a bulk bb-mail or do we just have to try to hope more people come to the forum?

Hope or direct them to the forum is the best way in my mind.

I do also agree that someone should dust off our mentor thread, if I have time tonight I will put together a post for new Canadian managers.

i can help out, just dont know how well i qualify being only in my 3rd full season

i still say the hardest way is to keep managers active and community building is still a challenge for us

i just realized that we have a non-BB canada thread... maybe we should start talking about random stuff there?
