But how do you find new managers? Do you scan all the D.IV leagues each week?

I think that's an excellent suggestion. It would really help the community grow without any investment from BBs, such as ads.

@yodabig: I also think that would be great and I already suggested that a few months ago. As a U21 coach, I can reach to newcomers via U21 prospects they drafted...training for youth team will certainly keep some managers around for longer period of time than without that option.

Every user get´s an initial message in his BB-Mail Inbox. You can actually handle that task by getting your GM to work with your LA - if you´re running an own language. German (=german language) offers a Mentoring system to German speaking users, so any new Signup signing up with the language choice German get´s the invitation to that. Not sure if there´s an English (Aussie) Version, so this might be a bit of a stretch to handle it this way.

Your GM can post a local News only for Australia - it would be displayed in the News page and you can try to redirect the newbies (or whoever feels invited) like that.

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification. That's a clever use of GM and LA "skills"

I think the forums are a pretty big hurdle for newcomers, and I think if you are linked to a mentor right away that we could help take that hurdle. I think the forum navigation leaves a lot to be desired, so it's not exactly inviting to take a look around if you just joined the game. It's very hard to find good information quickly since you can't search the forums. BB-mail, or a new feature to link mentors with newcomers, is much easier and clearer to start the game.

But, your adjusted welcome message is indeed a good step already, and I think we should expand on that by making it more prominent.
