@tommy-timbers Hi Ken, hope you're well! Spurs looking good! Since we last spoke, I believe my team broke the 114 year Scottish Cup curse. What a day that was! My original user was pwhibs62. Sending you my best wishes from Edinburgh!

@wrinkledpaulsack Cheers, Paul! Yes, I'd seen that Hibs had broken the spell. Funny, I was thinking about you when I saw that. And that Sunshine on Leith song gets me every time. We saw The Proclaimers over here a couple of years ago, great night, and every year I've been out here, we've had our annual outing to see North Sea Gas. They're coming back over in September. We're now living in the Pittsburgh area. Still waiting for Spurs to break their voodoo. We've been to a few Pittsburgh Riverhounds games, they play in the United Soccer League, which is basically the second division, although there's no automatic P&R. They are going well so far this season, a point off top spot in the Eastern Conference. Take it easy!

@tommy-timbers It was brilliant. As far as club anthems go, Sunshine on Leith has to be the best. I am probably a bit biased towards my club but it really is special. Hope Spurs can put on a show next season - they're good to watch but surely (Don't call me Shirley!
) this squad is due some silverware.Hope you are having a good time in Pittsburgh and glad your team are going strong. Really is great to hear from you! Take care

@vinçentó-beçker_nl You can say what you want but I have changed.

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?
-
@gary-gomes alright Gary I’ve just created a new account as I can’t remember my old one. How much have things changed. My name was Chrissy Selby I don’t even see how to try and find it on here
-
@majstor-matt I was in Aces! I’ve just set up a new account to try find my old one. My name was Chrissy Selby or something like that but can’t find my old account? Any help mate?
-
I been playing since 2009. I drift around the game from time to time. I'll come back for a couple seasons, and then will leave for a while. I remember back in the day when the forums were active, it was fun. I am back now for a bit. We will see see how long I stay around this time.
-
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?

Your English is very great.

Didnt i make that avatar ed? Or was it Jacob
-
@ed-clarke Different alliances for sure. I like this allias I must say. This WrinkledPaulsack guy used to be one of Scotlands top ranked managers haha. Good to see you around. Glad all is well
-
@wrinkledpaulsack haha I think I was almost top 100 in England and switched to Nigeria nationality so I could dominate the rankings (I'm Nigerian so I can get away with it)
-
@otis90 Yeah you were a very good manager. Got the hang of the new game engine yet mate? Joined a league for the first time in years!
Wish I could have my pwhibs62 account back? Moderators, is anyone willing to reopen this account for me?
