Hey guys!
Please excuse my tardiness; I was letting the changes of this week sink in properly (and I had some other stuff going on at home).
The XHF Network is a go! Along with old XHF members showing up and posting a little every week, over the course of one day two feds joined the Network! I wanted to take some time to highlight both places (to the best of my understanding) so that you can get a better idea of which fed is right for you:
Owned by the shadowy Spector, ASW is a very laid back place. As of yet there aren't any solid dates and even the description makes note that there might not even be a large show every month. However, there are already plans in the work for a tournament to start things off (probably at a leisurely pace). If you're looking for an excuse to RP without having to worry about the grind of doing so competitively; ASW is probably a good match for you. I'd also highlight the tournament as a good way to warm up or shake off any ring rust if you want to get back into the fedding game.
Run by BeastMike and his admin Felix Venta, GXW is a much more traditional fed. From the look of their set-up I'm getting an NCW-style vibe from it (for those of you who know what that means). They've already got the day of their first show set up: GXW Hardwired episode 1 should be live on May 13th! I'm very excited and can't wait to see people's rps for the show. If you're looking for weekly competition and a stable rping environment, I'd highly recommend checking out GXW!
As a note, if either feds want to say anything more, you're welcome to do so. I'm gonna unlock this "Announcement" section for you guys too so that if you want to post anything you can. I want the XHF Network to feel like home; because that's what it is supposed to be!
Alright, next I want to formally welcome our new members and feds. I've mentioned it to both owners via PMs but to everyone who's coming in from either fed, don't be a stranger! My ultimate goal is for the XHF Network to be a one-stop hangout for all of us wrestling fans and efedders. Maybe we can pry some people away from their facebooks and their twitters and their reddits etc. So if you've got an interest and want to talk about it in the discussion forums, we're more than happy to chat with you! Also guys, everyone should keep watch on the main general discussion/OOC forum at the top because unless we split stuff, I'll probably drop any unspecific message there too. Like the fact that you can submit a custom layout if you so choose.
So let's talk advertising. I really only know reddit, and I'll probably be putting up another advertisement on /r/efeds either today or tomorrow (which you're welcome to hijack to promote you're fed specifically). Beyond that though, I'm kind of out of the game and don't really know the best ways to reach people. So if you guys wanna advertise elsewhere, you're welcome to do so.
To older XHF guys, both ASW and GXW are willing to accommodate part-timers so don't feel scared to sign up. There will probably be others coming, but I think there's a little bit of a waiting game to see how GXW's first show goes (that's my guess anyway).
I wanted to say thank you to everyone. For you older guys who came back after nearly 10 years; you have no idea how much it means to me that you come and hang out here and post even when Facebook is more convenient and is part of your natural routine. I want you to know that I never forgot about anyone here.
But I also want to thank Spector, BeastMike, and Felix; thank you guys so much for believing in the dream of a crazy guy harassing you on reddit. I really do believe that the XHF Network model will revolutionize efedding and give people a reason to return to message boards. It's gonna take a little bit of a push to get things really moving (which I'm sure you've noticed by now); but once the wheels start turning steadily, I imagine that things will only get bigger and faster. I hope you like chaos, because this model basically breeds it and (as any old members will tell you) the XHF produces all kinds of chaos on its own. So we're in for one crazy board once everything takes off, lol.
I think that's all I've got to say right now; I'm really excited and thankful for all of this (even if it isn't much yet). If you guys have anything you want to add, you're welcome to do so in a reply to this.
As always guys, Take it to the Xtreme!
