my 3 questions would be:

1) what if someone doesnt want to share their FB identity
2) how would it prevent “spying” from other countries
3) how would it be be any more advanced than using the old regular BB foruns (ie here)

1) that's a problem ;) But you could create a fake facebook account just for that (just like you would create an account on an external forum)
2) private group = an admin must approve everyone before they can see anything
3) using bb forums would be the best, but back to point 2 about other countries "spying", although if it's on BB forums I wouldn't call it spying

In other words its principle are similar to offsite forums, only with the added benefit that most of us have facebook accounts thus the information in the group would be directly in our feeds. It should boost participation compared to an external website where you specifically have to go to participate

Will you go more often on a Canada U21 offsite forum? ;)

Anyway I just wanted to share something other nations are doing, MC new forum is fine

Yeah that's what happened everytime before sadly. You can't really discuss specific points/strategies in here, and an offsite requires a full commitment from the U21/NT coach to keep things moving.

Yea, I think it will really depend on the U21 / NT manager to at least post here before every game / update that theres a new post off-site

This forum can serve as the notification feature to drive traffic off-site

I have seen the off-site rise and fall, I am not a huge fan of forum style community, but it is one of the better options, unless someone wants to maintain a real website

I personally really like all the benefits a FB group could bring but at the same time I would lean towards an off-line Forum for this purpose, just my 2 cents

The world seems to be shifting towards using discord. Why not create a private discord chat with a link, where you can only gain full access to the chat through proving that you are Canadian (aka: sending a message on BB that you just joined the chat to prove your identity).

Fury did that =) it's a bit easier that using a forum, but participation was similar

Shouldn't be that way though... If people already use discord, then the chat will be seen every time people sign back in.
