    As we said when we first opened we would be adding new things all the time and also in keeping with trying to better what we already have here.
    You will notice straight away the new site announcements bar at the top of your screens this will be updated whenever there is something new that will affect the site by making it better and for general news like when the match chat will be online for next game.
    Along with the match reports page we now have the league table with one click you get to see and up to date league table link which of course has us on top of it. This is feature is for registered users only
    We have added a new archives section which I urge members to share their stories and posts what they got about our history, its a unique section that delves into the history of United and we aim to get it full of interesting reads from all members worldwide.
    We now have a links page which was added due to use getting our sites link on a few big United blogs and sites, this section is also home to the affiliates page where if a site places our button on their site we do the same in return.
    The big one which you will notice in the announcement bar is that we have added a new section called United Tube, now this section will contain quality highlights and interviews of before, during and after each game and I for one can not wait to see this one in action. Also because the highlights are hosted on a 3rd party site we are not breaking any copyight laws, again this section is only open to registered users only.
    There are a few other minor alterations that have taken place but they are mainly un noticeable to the untrained eye.
    And also for the statistic lovers of you out there we have just passed 3600 posts in 17 days and our posts per day are smack on 200 so thank you all so much for being part of this amazing and exciting venture we are over the moon with the reception we have got so far.

    Myself and Robi are pleased to announce the latest feature to be rolled out to you our loyal users; The RDF photo gallery, this section already has just short of 100 images relating to the club we all love. The section use's the very popular phpBB gallery modification, I installed it and over the past few days myself and Robi have been adding content to it. The Gallery is split in to 8 sections to make browsing the images easier.
    The gallery allows you to comment and rate each image or just view them in the fantastic highslider.js effect. Also all registered users can help this section grow by submitting their own photos to the gallery, All images must have the correct copyright and link backs if not your own work and also all images are placed in a moderation queue just like the archive so we the staff can check before they go live.
    We are looking for all users to add content to make RDF not just a good up and coming forum but also the one stop for all things United. As an added bonus all premium users get access to a personnal album where they can upload their own personnal images just like a Facebook album, for more info on becoming a premium user click here. Also the gallery is only open to registered users with over 5 posts. On behalf of the staff at RDF we hope you enjoy this feature as much as we have building it.

    RDF is growing very nicely, we recently got a review done and it gave us food for thought and have implemented the changes the gallery already has over 100 images on it in just a few days.
    We also past 5,000 posts this week, which is awesome for such a specific forum subject, we are averaging over 200 posts a day now and are closing in 50 members and we are still not even a month old. We are still adding loads of features all the time, so if you are into football (soccer) come and join us todaY:

    RDF (Red Devils Forum) is 4 weeks old today and what a great start to our first 28 days as a forum. We now have over 6,000 posts & 730 topics. Yesterday for the Chelsea game saw a new record set for the most users using our live match chat feature.

    The match center is now bigger with match reports for the 1st team, reserves and youth team. For registered users we also have a league table (which is fully licenced). Our Archive section is growing daily with new articles covering anything and everything connected to Manchester United. Our Gallery is also growing daily with new images. We have now started working on the club section of the site, the first part is now active with the trophy cabinet, displaying all the clubs major honours.

    Remember registered users get access to all the main features including match highlights and for a small fee can become a premium user with access to our sports arcade and many more exclusive features.

    So if you are not already a member but enjoy your football then come and join, we also offer plenty of general discussions, from general chit-chat & debates to entertainment and gaming discussions.

    The site is going strong with over 7,500 posts and the site is still only 35 days old, we have now over 50 members on our site from across the globe. Well done to IAmSteMUFC for being our 50th member. It's also good to see rival fans and not football fans joining as well, as the site offers something for everyone.
    Our trophy cabinet is almost finished now, thanks to Robi's hard work in typing up all the results for everyone of our major trophy wins, hopefully later this week we will be revealing our summer plans but stop by now to celebrate Uniteds record breaking 19th league title.

    Well seen as the staff ignored my complaint about the offensive post, can i just say keep your views to yourself Jack, you can dislike a club without being offensive, we have users who support a varity of clubs and all are respectful. Remember one thing if you offend people on admin/promotion boards those users will unlikely join your site as your will get a bad rep, trust me been doing forum since you was 11.

    anyway rant over:

    A quick bump to tell you this week has seen us have our most active day post wise with Monday getting over 300 posts.

    Did you report it? Maybe it was dismissed by another staff member as there is 4 of us at the moment, so I wouldnt know why it was avoided, as soon as I checked this thread after seeing Jack's post I was ready to remove it before even going further down to see Ashley's and your replies. It is complete spam, and is trashing your thread and we don't allow that here so I apologize for the inconvenience, I have removed his post and the other replies to avoid ruining your thread. If you would like to see these posts removed I will be happy to remove them as well.
