It attempts to take an informal and humorous approach to dealing with the latest football news, but fails miserably, and often includes unfunny running jokes about certain individuals connected with the sport, such as Jermaine Jenas and Frank Lampard. Surely opinion has no place in an enclyopedia.

The vandalism has been removed. Its approach is informal and humorous PlayCollective 20:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should write about Terry Silver's threats to bring the site to its knees. Very notable and frightening!

It would be useful toward establishing that this site is notable and encyclopedic to show at least one external reference (someone that has written about the web site, like a sports magazine, BBC, etc). Also, my feeling is that an article that only repeats what is easily determined from the web site itself does not have much value here. What else can you tell us? (who founded it, has it been involved in any scandals or controversies) Someone coming to an encylopedia to look up the site won't be served if the article merely describes what is on the site--they could see that with their own eyes.

Specifically it needs references not to itself. Thatcher131 (talk) 20:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the nme forum claiming it invented the frosties kid is dead rumour, here is a link from the forum where one of the forummers acknowledge that was indeed invented by someone (Joe 2.0) from the the f365 forum

The page just serves a self-promotion. Delete it.

No, the website is notable enough, and is used, for example, by the Orange mobile phone company. If it needs to be changed from a self-promotion in your view, add the {{advert} tag

The website, considering the traffic it receives and the sway its online community holds, is no less worthy of an article than other websites listed on Wikipedia.

Why has the forum influencing polls section been removed?

The forum did influence the Brazil vs Croatia game. This is a verifyable fact and I assumed a re-wording of the piece would be acceptable. If you need to revert sections of text you need to explain why in the discussion page. --217.204.163.50 12:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reference For Tribune Article

The piece is worthy of inclusion but it can't really stay without a reference, so if anybody cares enough to put it in I suggest they do. PlayCollective 01:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put the reference in, but it got taken out again

Why does the word 'Awooga' redirect to this article?

Is there something I am missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocker1982 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Reference to the Forum

The forum is the most noteworthy part of the F365 website. It drives the traffic that draws the ad revenue, and (anecdotally) I've never heard anyone tell me about anything they've read on F365 main site, but I've met lots of people who draw reference to the forum. Adding a line about the forum will inevitably lead to occasional vandalism from the disgruntled but it's extremely disengenuous to have a page on the website without mentioning a significant part of it.
