i'm a blast from the past, back after about 10 years, i doubt anyone said me though
Battles are won by slaughter and manoeuvre. The greater the general, the more he contributes in manoeuvre, the less he demands in slaughter. Winston Churchill
I stop by here every so often to see who is left and the state of clans. I see the years 2008 and 2009 being listed a lot of good players and good people listed. A lot happened in those years. My kids were born 2008 and 2010 and it looks like I started to fade in 2012. There was a real integration of Clans and Tournaments (shout out to many of the G1 clan players) and getting some tools in place to help Clans was a game changer. Those 2 areas of the site was probably about 70% of the player revenue for the site at the time. It amazes me that the league it still going and that is great to see.
As I look through the active clans, I recognize about 20 names.
Can't do it all at once, but it looks like I owe someone games. I'll contact you directly.

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Nice to see you back.
Always happy to see an old friend re-emerge after so many years. Great to hear from you JP. Still very appreciative of all you did for the clan scene all that time back.
