Hi everyone, I have directed the nwfoosball message board here and I hope it works out well. I'm sure it will take a while for some to get used too but I think it's good idea. Portland and Seattle can be one happy family.

Dang Pat! You've done so much for the game and us, the players. I want to say thank you for that. I hope at some point you dive back in even though you've done more than most and shouldn't need to. Well, I hope you and that pretty wife of yours show up and let us have a go at that push kick dink game you are famous for. I hope you still bring your programs and computers for the big ones, You and Myk set the standard, a real class act. Keep foosin bro!

Sorry Pat, but this sucks! I hate these thread-based forums. I used to automatically go to nwfoos when I got online - 2 simple clicks and I can see what everyone is talkin about... scroll down to the last time I checked - easy... now I won't bother, it was bad enough I had to signup... sorry Isaac, but there was a reason the site wasn't used much and people posted on the nw board. I'm sure there are some who like threads better - and they will probably be the ones to respond, since some of the rest of us won't bother to! Its one thing for the national thread where there would just be too many posts to go through in a day to see what you're interested in, but that was rarely an issue on the nw board. And now we can't make fun or get irritated by the annonymous posters :-)

Sorry Net, it lasted for 6 years with no security but things have gotten out of hand lately. I think it will be for the better that Oregon and Washington have the same message board anyway.

Thanks Pat for all the time you spent on the message board. I know how much work it can be. My site is still up although I haven't updated it for years along with the message board. I had disabled the board because I couldn't keep up with all the spam and porn that was being added. Although the board you ran was easier to look at and use, this type is actually better for keeping the posters that don't want people to know who they are so they can stir things up. Sac, good luck with your board. Some advice though, see if you can get it so you have to approve every sign-up. It's a little slower for people to start using the board as they have to wait for you, but will help keep the porn sites and advertizers from automatically spamming you site. Once again, good luck Sac and thanks Pat.

I understand Pat, sorry to be so reactionary. All the work you've done for the site has been greatly appreciated, you certainly have been/are one of the NW's MVPs! Ben may be right, we had a decent site for awhile in Spokane but the board starting getting spammed horribly, but it stopped after they put a password on. Maybe we can just keep this main thread going for folks like me that just want to log on and see whats up without having to open up every singe thread looking for a jewel of wisdom or wit!

I hope you guys like the new format. Hopefully this will keep discussions more organized.
I loved NW foos, and will miss it, thanks for all your hard work pat. Hopefully we will see you soon. If not, at least send your wife, who seems to wear the foos pants in the house anyways:)

If this site is in your favorites, you basically have two clicks to see what everyone is talking about, but you would have the option to NOT read what you dont want to... This site is like 4 months old and was never meant to compete with NW foos...being brand new may be a reason people dont post on here alot. Time will tell. I just wanted to have an up to date site where people could get tournament info, stats and news. The bulletin board format will have to be midified to accomodate everyone. Well, it was nice having you on here Net, if you change your mind, we'll be here anytime you feel like chatting. another nice thing is that if someone ever has posters remorse, they have unlimited time to edit their posts. Pat's site was unique in that you were locked in to your post...which had a good and a bad side.

Heyooh!
Let's not forget that the N.W.foosball site is still running, just without the message board. Pat is still putting in time with all the stats, player info, tourney info, and such. It's still a great site, so don't let Pat get lazy and shut the whole thing down! Now.....
GO FOOS ! Myk
