GotSoccer.com closes discussion forums after 11 years

12 Oct, 2007

The following note appears on the GotSoccer.com home page regarding the sudden removal of their very popular discussion forums:

"It was a sad decision, but today I shut down the GotSoccer forums. Started 11 years ago when the Internet was in its infancy and when there were less then 35 youth soccer sites on the web, the forums played an invaluable role in transporting soccer from a regional to a national sport. But they've long outlived their usefulness and the recent spate of distasteful posts on the Armchair Striker went far beyond the pale. The closure of the forums will allow us to concentrate on what we do best - rank teams and provide the best software available for the youth soccer market.

We here at Potomac Soccer Wire certainly invite you to move your conversation to our forum, but will certainly not allow the negativity to go on that appears to have lead to the closure of GotSoccer Forums. Our forums are part of our business model for running a news and community web site for soccer in the Mid Atlantic, and as such are closely monitored.
