You see? This is why I keep nagging people for match previews and reports. If we don't pubish anything for a couple of weeks, the site goes dead. It's not just about the messageboard - we have to publish stories.
Once upon a time there was a messageboard where people gathered to chew the fat, arrange away trips and generally have good time. One of the people charged with maintaining this board kept asking the contributors for stories to put on the front page, but the people were too busy yakking away on the board, and since they never read the front page, what did it matter?
But the big, bad site demon had decreed that he must be fed at least once every two weeks, or he would wreak terrible retribution on the faithless.
And so it happened that the kind old Major kept being ignored and the demon was not fed. And the demon became angry and closed the board. And all the people wailed and gnashed their teeth and cried "Oh, where is our lovely messageboard?"
And the Major said unto them: "Get off your bums, you lazy beggars, and write me a story that I may post it to the front page and appease the demon". And the people said: "yea, Major, we shall do this and ensure that our messageboard never again falls into the pit of despair".
And they all lived happily ever after.
