Downhill? Not from where ol' TJ's sitting! The old board consisted mostly of Shockwave and The Rushers talking about, um, Shockwave and The Rushers, whereas on the new forums only tournament and speak your brains seem to have this affliction.
Seriously though, where tournament players lead, newbies follow, so if you wanna take part in some interesting, controversial and lively debate, then try starting some up.
How's about starting with 'If the septics (as you so quaintly call us) are sooooo much better than the Euros and the Brits, then how come Shockwave won a Millennium? Luck? Bribery? Cheating? Or good old fashioned hardball?'
Or how's about@ Shockwave may have fluked a Millennium but they are noooo way good enough to make the finals cut at an NPPL: discuss.
See, it's easy if you try...
