Any nostalgic managers still playing OFM?
-
I had many wonderful years on this game and, via the forums, made many good friends along the way, who I’m sorry I had to desert a few years ago. I’m glad to see that they are not entirely forgotten - indeed some of you are still knocking about in here!
I will always think of OFM fondly and was pleased to do my bit behind the scenes, as it were. It was largely thankless work of course with no real material reward to show for the hours we all put in (apart from the Christmas card and Doerak plush toy
) and yet I honestly do look back on my days here with a smile.I must say how sad I was though to hear the news about Frank. Without him, none of these memories would exist. We rarely spoke (on account of Frank and Jeroen being a bit like royalty - except they actually did some work, unlike actual royalty) so our paths didn’t often cross, but when they did he was always friendly, open and grounded. I am thinking of him and his family at the moment, and how far reaching his efforts in life were, in terms of the treasured imprint this game has left on the memories of a handful of people dotted around the globe such as I. It’s a pretty cool legacy to leave. Sleep well Frank.
Gary, Matt, Albino, Ken, Paul, Adam, Diar, Xristos, Ruby - it’s great to see your names floating around albeit under unfamiliar aliases in some cases! I hope you’re all doing OK.
Take care everyone. Till the next reunion

@ed-clarke Nice to see you around Ed!
There's quite some time. How's life treating you my friend? Are you back to some more fun on OSM?

I used to be active around 2011-2012. I remember when the Forums were very active and much better than they are today. What happened?

Eugene ( https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/user/e-u-g-e-n-e ), formerly known by the username E69PRO, and I are trying to organize some sort of OSM Xmas reunion league for older managers. In something like 2 weeks we are planning to open a league in Nostalgian Cup A where we would try to get as many "nostalgic" managers to join us there so we all could play together and have fun in the honour of the good old days of OSM
We already created a chatroom for the league where we are trying to see If we will manage to find enough interested managers to join us, so If you are interested feel free to PM Eugene or me and give us your thought wheter you'd be interested in some kind of league like that
🥉 OSM Nations Cup 2021 - 3rd place (Croatia)
Crew: Proud to be Croat -
@otis90 Yes I loved my 4-2-3-1 SOS back in the day

Re: Any nostalgic managers still playing OFM?
I have played it since March 2009. First I joined Fantasy Premier League, but what to do the other days? Then I searched and found this. I have been active so many years. It is exciting to check every evening.I used to write in the forums the first years, but now it is seldom. Tonight I have finished a season in Italy taking Roma to the 4th place winning the last 13 matches. I am satisfied with that. Napoli won the league.
