As a brand new member to ISFL, I’m still somewhat learning all of the little details and aspects of the league that make it more engaging. However, one thing that’s already stood out to me is all of the extra activities that give members even more reason to engage with the league. I really liked the concept of the league wiki and having users maintain their own player page. I love the trading cards a lot, because it helps scratch my in real life desire to open sports trading card packs. Add on to that the fantasy football league, which as a rookie in the DSFL is giving me reason to follow along with the ISFL and get in tune with who some of the more notable players and teams are. So my suggestion is going to be in line with adding something extra to the site, and I’m going to cheat a little by doing a callback to my days in the SHL years ago when I remembered going into the SHL Arcade with little embedded flash games that players could play to try and break the league’s high score. The ISFL Arcade could start with mainly football related themed games, and it could maybe be integrated as a subforum/piece of the Casino where members have to pay to get entries/play the game and enter some sort of tournament where the winner takes all. If it garnered enough interest, it could theoretically even develop into a broader eSports league where we aren’t limited to just little web games embedded in the site but actually start playing maybe Madden or other games on Steam/etc.
