I have to announce that i decided to retire from the board. It does mean that in the future will i still read the boards but i will not more take part active in any discussions. I do not want the discuss the reasons for my decision on public but there should be no doubt that this decisions was not caused by the game itself.

I still believe that the game (even when we see no 3.0) is still the best coaching game and has the most potential - even when you consider all these questionable design decisions and still existing bugs. Others may have different focal points and will come to other conclusions.

So i still the use the game and improve things outside the 3D game. My published tools are in a good shape and if there are some problems it is still possible to write an email using the Matrix board system.

O.k. now there are only DT & Hack, who have to left the forum to make the disaster complete. First the game is dead, & shortly after that the forum too.
Sorry to say that, but the backbone of this community is destroyed. (Sorry: don�t want to offend anybody)
Don�t know about the reasons, why you�re leaving this forum, but its sad to see you�re going (too).

Same here. No reason to leave, unless the forum closes down. As Tullius said he'll be checking in just not posting.

Okay I think I am getting a better grasp of whats going on in a way.Mykal I was just wondering if your forum was an attempt to keep the community going or something seperate.You have stated that you would continue a forum if this one was looking if this one was shutting down just wondering if this was the case.

Ok I just finished my move and finally am getting on my main computer. This is more than likely one of my last posts on the forum and it isn't because Mykal started his own. VCFL, I am actually glad Mykal locked his website. If you haven't noticed some forum members use Mykal like their personal slave. They make a uniform request, he makes exactly what they ask for, (normally in less than 24 hours) and uploads it. Way to often I have seen that no one thanks him or anything, they just take it and go. If someone were doing that to me I would do the same thing.

The forum Mykal hosts is a great idea and although I haven't been able to register yet I soon will. Although I'm not a big fan of the Madden series and don't like discussion of it on the Matrix boards I have no problem with it on an independent forum. I also think having 3+ moderators is a very good idea and will help the forum greatly. IMO Mykal's forum will keep MFB alive longer than the Matrix board ever would. It will be so nice to be able to talk MFB, Madden, Backbreaker, Quick Hit, etc on the same board.

I am checking in here and there also. I like to keep up with the Metro and Adelaide leagues, plus grab any updates from Hack.

I like Mykals forum, good idea I think. No reason folks cant frequent both. My lack of activity on this forum is a mix of me losing some interest in the game in general, and other real life projects taking up time. And other games. Im a flight simmer at heart, so ive been playing a lot of Flight Sim 2004, and a couple of the combat sims from ThirdWire.

But, all in all, this is the best community of folks i've ever been a part of. I've made some good friends I may never meet, but good friends indeed.

I'm still here also. I haven't had much MaxFb lately for several reasons- one of which is the ice storm that knocked us out of power for 6 days. As soon as I get some time, I'll post some screen shots from bowl games that ended gameplay with my 1940 College league. Currently, I'm playing with my 12 man rules league.

I also like flight sims. I've been working with a free space flight sim that I downloaded from www.orbiter.com. I've downloaded many of the addons for orbiter and I can fly almost any spacecraft or launch vehicle, past or present. When I say I can "fly" them, I use the term "fly" loosely. I'm not a good joystick jockey because of arthritis in my hands. I'm working on a course outline for a class I'll offer in 2010 school year that I'll call "The History and Principles of Space Flight". The orbiter sim will be a big part of the course.
