This year we're launching a new feature for Zathras &
Wubba's King of the Hill Football Pool: The KOTH Forum. This will be a place
where you can interact with the other players and with us. We will post the
weekly updates there, as well as any other announcements about the pool.
We're using phpBB forum software, which is a fairly popular
system- very widely used around the internet for discussion forums. However,
this is the first time I've set up a forum, so I'm still learning all the ins
and outs. For example, I'd like to put a pool login link and perhaps some other
info in the forum header. For now though, it's pretty generic, using a standard
supplied template. If you have ideas or experience running a phpBB forum please
feel free to offer your comments and ideas.
One of the great things about this forum software is it has
built-in self registration tools, password reminders, etc. We are going to
restrict full access of the forum to pool players, so we've set up the
registration to require admin approval. So, when you register, I'll get an
email and then go approve you once I know you're a player in the pool. If you
register for the forum with the same userID as your pool ID, then it will make
it easier for us to confirm. Otherwise you'll probably get an email from me
asking who you are.
Another future goal of mine is to combine the registrations, so
that one registration process will get you access to both the pool and the
forum, but I think that will take some reprogramming in our pool software (which
is too late to do for this year).
Visitors and unregistered guests will only see a forum called
(appropriately) "Visitor Information". But once you register, you'll
see all the forum topics and can make comments or start new discussion threads.
So, please go register for the forum at www.zathras.com/forum.
We've also put links to the forum in the upper right corner on all of the koth
pages.
Thanks
