We ve been great friends over the years and will always be.My friendship with Dirk Thomas is one that I missed dearly.Guys like Shawn Noble and Jim Davis has always been good as well I enjoy talking and visting them on MF Guys like Matt Culp and Mark and Bill from the old days have been great too,Corey and K-lo always are good people.Early on I didnt think it was a good ideal to charge for this site and info from this hobby,the hobby simply isnt big enough people come to this hobby beccause its relativly cheap at least it used to be.With 400.00 boards 200.00 teams now its up there,If you have been in this hobby for years you dont mind the up grades but.. if you are new thats a bit steap!!We are the last generation of this game its over after us maybe ones and twos here and there I would never spend 400.00 on a board I just wouldnt I know when thats my timehas come to go.Also the fights personality clashes and crap well lifes to short for that some of I added to someof it,it is what is!!I wish the MFCA good luck I hope that it unites the hobby and fill in where Miggle well be missed.On an August day in 1980 I gave my entire electric football collection to eugene Jones ten years later I was back playing again in 1995 I met some of the best guys of my life me and my wife and I had some of the best times playing and fellowshipping with EFlers.That has been missed I think time has its way in the end of moving us in the direction it wants us to go,I know some will say good riddons the feelings mutual but every one else that I mention good luck to you
I`ll check on ya from time to time.Later

Jimmie,
We go back to the early days of the resurgence. i still hold on to some of your early writtings and things so I know you have mad love for the hobby, in general.
We have been here for you thru some of your sad moments in your life. You have always been a friend to me and If you stop posting and visiting I will lose a friend.
I am involved in this hobby for many reasons and one of the main ones is knowing all of the great people in this hobby that love the same things I do!!!
and the mutual respect we all give to one another. Sure the cost of things have moved up, but some of the products warrent the higher cost because it is a better product. Can we all get one, no. is that wrong, no. Same with the figures, facemasks, decals, etc. If you want to get some of them, you have to do like the OLD DAYS and save up...remember when you had to save some of your candy money to send off for a team from tudor?? It's not that much different now.
Heck, I wish I could get a new Watts Field or a Reggie Stadium or some ONE2WATCH figures but I have to do the same or make due with what I have. Or learn to make some of my own.
Those of us that have been around awhile has carved out a some niche with specialized services to help others improve their teams/games. Thanks to the MFCA we have place that allows us to share these things without restrictions that the other site had placed on everyone.
so I if you must leave us, Be Kind and remember your other family will be here when you come back!
K-Lo
