I have been around a fairly long time and it appears I can't pick a ladder that can stick around ... First it was the Skills ladder, Axle and all the rest ... that was a great ladder ... but alas it died
Then FSBACK, great people, great times, fun matches ... but it also seems to be going away now ... Perhaps it is just my joining the ladders that kill them.
Anyway, I want all the players and TD's to know how much this ladder has meant to me and how much I appreciate all that has been done to make this a fun place to come most of the time. It is a lot of work and volunteering from many people that keep a ladder going and it is easy to get dejected once the players quit playing. Thanks to my work schedule I am just as guilty as any other player for not participating enough.
Please be sure that it wasn't the TD's or other players that kept me away and I care for each of you a lot. I will miss all of you that are leaving more than I could ever express.
Your friend,
Brent
