The BFF FAQ

Who gave birth to the BFF?
Well, on the seventh day, God did not rest. He got to grips with advanced HTML, downloaded Dreamweaver (from a warez site) and then got building. Halfway though it, he thought to himself: “F*ck this shit. I’m God. I don’t need to do all the hard work.” So, instead, he got hold of phpBB and the rest is history...

Actually, this is the history: Sometimes, things are born from deviation. Liverpool would not exist if it wasn’t for Everton (though we all wish Everton didn’t exist... period). The soul of BFF came into existence when Moses (Burnley Hefcee) lead his people to the promised land. Basically, a bunch of lads on a footie forum felt they could do better. So they left it behind in ''search'' of a new home. The first attempt at the ‘promised land’ failed, with all posts lost, five years later the same fate struck again. The third attempt is what you see today So, thank the founding fathers (Burnley, Chazza, Rich…) and the old skool crew (Chopper, mcfc, JohnSmiley, JonP...) for setting the foundations. Good work fellas!!

Is it another bog-standard football forum?
By bog-standard do you mean like the football Everton play? If so, then no. Supporters of all clubs, nations and colours are welcomed here; including the Scottish. This is a community of banter, discussions, love and hate – all things football and all things non-football. We are not just a bunch of English yobbos. Oh no. We have Welsh, Scottish and Croats. We did even have members living out in South America, but they seem to have gone walkabout. Tragically, we also have Americans. But hey, nothing's perfect!

Are there any rules I need to know about?
The first rule of BFF is don’t be a troll. Seriously though, there are no rules. Just don’t troll, spam and post porn. Act the c*nt if you wish, but expect the kind of treatment West Ham fans would greet Chelsea Headhunters. Everything is self-explanatory really. Post, have fun... don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Can I say and post whatever I want?
We don’t like censorship, but that doesn’t mean its a free-for-all. Don’t make threats or post anything illegal and you should be safe from having your IP banned. W00t!! If you want to be controversial, then feel free to be so. But be able to back it up if someone wants you to explain why you feel that way, rather than trolling for the sake of trolling. Another thing to bear in mind is that sometimes the content of this site does lean towards the adult side so please be aware that not everything will be to your taste.

The place seems like a tight-knit community. Why should I bother participating?
Well, it is a tight-knit community, but most of the hardcore regulars are newbies in terms of the dates they signed up compared to the founding fathers. Don’t rush to impress. Just be yourself, or create an online persona if you think you have no natural personality – and then just get on with it. Yeah, one or two of us can be hard b@stards, but remember... most of it is banter. A baptism BFF style means we love ya!
