Hi there BB,

I play in the South Korean League... Some of you have referred to it as a 'micro-nation'. Essentially, we only have owners in the Division 1 league and even there, there seems to be a very high turnover rate... owners come and go. I think we only have 8/9 active owners in Korea.

I think one of the problems is that we really have no effective way to communicate with each other.

I would like to propose that at the bottom of our League page, the Hanguk forum be embedded so that we can read and post messages to each other in an easy to access, easy to read manner.

Is this something that is possible, and worth consideration?

Great suggestion. It took me several seasons to find out there was a forum for each league.

Thanks... I think it would be a great way to improve the site's retention rate. Hope we see it soon.

Easy to say why should I have to do this but you could just make a standard BBmail with a little advice for new users and a link that they just click on to be directed right to the league forums and another one tha takes them to the ntional forums. You could offer that you will give some speific advice for their team to anyone that bbmails you. A fair bit of work but i you end up wih a decent 16 team eague then it will be well worth it in the end.

That is a reasonable suggestion, but my deficiencies in the Korean language might be a problem.

And still, when they go to the forum, they're not exactly easy to navigate and follow. It seems to me that BuzzerBeater would be better off altogether with a better 'forum' template.

In any case, I'll try to advise new users, but I think a more interactive forum, placed right on the league page would go a long way to reducing the turnover here in Korea, and in other countries that are 'developing'... everywhere for that matter.

So I am assuming you are an ex-pat working in Korea? That does make it hard. If someone contacted me in a language I didn't understand in a game I didn't understand it may just make things more confusing. Maybe you can find someone who is fluent to draft you a standard letter.
