Agreed BH, but it's a nice setup - pretty neat looking website (aesthetically that is, from the CSS compatible profile layout right down to the framed videos and advertisements on the right...)

Say, carltonsocial - are you a current member on TC (aside from your 'carltonsocial' username), or did you jump on TC just to 'plug' your website?!

...just curious, is all!

Thanks for the invite.

1. Carlton Social was not designed replace traditional forums such as this one. Forum style websites such as talkingcarlton and CSC are not social networks per se in that they lack the photo and video sharing, individual profiles, blogging, RSS and other features common in social networks.

About the only thing Carlton Social has in common with this website is the forum section.

This leads me to answer your next question.

2. Yes, I joined this site to promote Carlton Social. I do not participate in these types of forums as each of them have a little "community"of hardcore users which tend to monopolize discussions (I would love to know the breakdown of women vs men on these sites). Carlton Social was designed to attract all Carlton fans from the most hardcore supporter to the casual housewife who attends the odd game with her kids.

I created this website so the kid in the front row of the cheersquad can send in his video of Fev marking in the goal square.

So the nut who attends training every week can upload a photo of Judd's groin.

So your dad can deck out his profile page in homage to Bruce Doull.

So the casual supporter can keep up to date on the latest news in his RSS reader.

So Carlton is not always second to Collingwood in innovative supporter led initiatives!

Hope this helps to explain the thinking behind this website!

Jim

Looks good. Clean and easy to use. There can never be too much Carlton on the internet!

Never a truer word spoken.

good work, cool idea.

good way to display our vids and various tid bits.

Questions answered, and answered well!

Thanks Jim, and nice work with the RSS reader as well - very underused on the net but extremely useful...

...as for being second to Collingwood in supporter-led websites? I didn't know that (bar Mandy and ADP) they could even use computers!?

I'd be careful about hosting AFL videos which are copyright protected.

Thank you Wohee................

%$#@ i love Carlton.................!


kindest regards tommi

Carltonsocial, I tried the link, but it timed out. Server issues?

How do YouTube do it? Would it be the same system with CS?

I like the idea - as long as it's not Socialist Carlton - I just wanna get that straight.

RE vids and copyright the videos and photos on the site are user generated.

Most vids at the moment are actually embedded from YouTube.

Same copyright rules apply to CS as they apply to YouTube or Flickr.

I'd love to see some pics and vids captured from mobiles at the games.

I see I've already made a contribution with my Judd in a Carlton jumper image on there. Thanks for asking.

Good luck with the site all the same.
