What about a possibility to have more than one internal discussion board within a fellowship? Then you'll be able to separate these groups by their memberships in teams and they can use only discussion boards of their favourite games.
That MAY be possible as long as there is a way of only selected members reading each board. (I know you mentioned writing to them)
It would be hard chosing a name for the fellowship that says what is involved etc.
"Steves Friendship inc Reversi temsa/five in line teams"
That would say, you cant join those parts if you not friends.
It could possibly work but would be complicated.
How soon do you feel we need to sort all this by??
Obviously like BBW/S/2004 LOL said, there are tournies involved at the moment, so I guess we should stop making new ones for now
