What have i done for this ladder? How can you even say you ever did more than me. Who played more games? oh its me. Who hosted more tourneys? oh me again. Oh and unlike what you said I did save the ladder before. Obviously you do not remember 2 occassions where I one time singlehanded and another got this ladder going for a while with 100 or so active members. Maybe you do not remember this was about a year to a year and a half ago or maybe a little more. I got it going and active not only by playing but by hosting tourneys. You can have this ladder without some of the positions basically. They do not mean much. I have given up on this ladder just like fcp_c0bra. I have been busy lately and have not even played checkers for quite sometime. It gets old after a while. I may decide to come back in a few months you never know but i highly doubt it becuase i will be off to college soon. It does not take much to get this ladder back. You just have to really want it. You have to get several old players back to it who also want it back and play often. Get them to sign up for tourneys. Advertise for the tourneys in the game rooms. Then people will sign up for your league and tourneys. You will eventually get a larger amount of people in tourneys and leugue. Then more tds and so on and so forth and if it works well you can have a very good league. I just do not care as much any more nor do I have the passion to even play checkers I once did or the time i once did. If someone else feels like trying to get it back and has some tourneys just contact me at ralphus333@yahoo.com and maybe i will be able to sign up and play just to help the numbers issues. The hardest part of building up a league is the first part transition from basically no one to 10 members. I do not mean to sound cocky or anything but I feel I have done quite a bit for this ladder. I believe it would not have even been around the past 2 years really had I not been here. I realize I was not the first one here but oh well. I started playing checkers several months after we got an internet connection and then several months after that I started playing cases. I am not sure when that was but I would guess 4 years ago when i joined cases. I may have never had a title of head td or op but I did more for this ladder than most of them ever did. It was not me alone that did some stuff like this it was other people with the passion like c0bra, halfbaked, raffle, fcp_rock15, iamwes1, ae_whiteknight, and a couple i probably forgot and lately gst jordan had this passion but it ended cause no one else had it. I have many great memories with so many people on here, there are to many to even name them all. There are so many groups that have been on here too. Ae, Fcp, dcp, pcp, scp, sck, pfc, gps, thc, bdcp, and many others i am forgetting about.
