And guess what? When it becomes a pay service Arsenal America will go elsewhere. One of the (few) perks of us becoming an "official" supporters' club would be that Arsenal would give us our own discussion area on their site. Alternatively, webmaster Andrew would figure out a way for us to have a discussion board at arsenalamerica.com
Oh man, I've been wondering when someone was going to suggest that. I've been thinking to myself for awhile that it would be more agreeble then this 'big soccer' lark. It would be easy to set up too, if the design I see now at the arsenalamerica homepage is anything to go by. I guess I assumed that the reason the arseam used the big soccer boards was to increase exposure to more random internautes.
Bigsoccer is where ArseAm was born and it is/was a great place. I thought bigsoccer jumped the shark when they permanently banned Oliver. Then they went to this premium service thing. I'm still a big supporter and everytime a new member signs up for ArseAm I tell them to come here. But I would say there is a pretty decent chance that ArseAm will set up it's own boards at some point.
