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.

Yeah that guy...didn't he have a banana type avatar or something...kept inviting newbs into 1 minute speed games of...what was it...city mogul?...he'd make like 1 point...but he was top of the rank leaderboard...everyone hated him and wanted him banned...was hilarious.
