I frequently posted on LosWonderkids iirc.

Was there a forum called FM Fanboys or something like that, or have I just made that up?

Talking of old forums, I was a regular on The Away Stand, if anyone remembers posting on there. Or is it just me

Yes, think I frequented there too.

Can't say I remember Fever Pitch but I do vaguely remember FM Underground.

Another forum which I posted on but didn't seem to last long - does anyone else remember Unbelievable Jeff?

Yes I certainly remember Unbelievable Jeff. I really like the place, always had good discussions from memory. I myself, am just coming back to the forums after a long break away from them.

I was a mod on one called RivalManager for a time years ago. I got banned multiple times from this very forum for trying to poach members via the PM system.

Anyone ever used to visit Supports Interactive? That was Game and Caleyjag's joint venture. I remember it was pretty decent but just didn't seem to take off. It was created after Fanboys sort of died out. I miss those sites!

What a list that is, some heavyweight Susie names from years ago.

Times change, but I'm still glad we've got enough members and enough going on to keep the forums going.

I had to liaise with Stan Petrov often in my very first job, only knew it was him cos Jordo used to post his name/what he done for a living everywhere to annoy him. Never let on 'cos it'd be awkward as fuck though.

I haven't even played FM properly since about 2014 I'd say

Times do change, as do people, life moves on unfortunately

Some of the best times I've had were on this forum, the banter looking back was unreal at times!!

I don't know whether it's the game changing over the years or just me, but I haven't had a proper good save for at least 2-3 years.

Maybe this November that'll change

Without saying too much he was a public servant. I worked for one of those shitcunt companies that took the unemployed and made them to do unpaid work otherwise their benefits would be sanctioned. I just worked back office taking details in, but still felt dirty doing it.

It could be just you having a life pal because I can still enjoy the game quite frequently.

I can't believe you didn't know

I've been here from seemingly the dawn of time. Was at Throw-In before here, I'm still around most days though - lurking.

I first came here for the Eastside Hockey Manager stuff, so I've been here for quite some time.

Too busy with real world stuff to really hang around these days though.

I'm going to be doing another charity hike next year for Mencap who I work for. I shall be walking from my shop in Loughborough, Leicestershire to Barmouth, Gwynydd. A distance of about 165 miles. I did 80 miles through the Yorkshire Dales in 2013 (which quite a few members of this forum were kind enough to donate towards) but I was in much better shape then so I'm going to have to really work on my fitness between now and next June when I plan on going.

Welp, I just bought myself FM 2018 even though I know I shouldn't have. Better hope it is full of game-breaking bugs for my studies sake!

I’ve just set up a JustGving page for the 150 mile sponsored hike I’m organising. If anybody could contribute it would be most gratefully appreciated. Your text to link here...

You can also donate by text by texting RBME87 followed by your donation amount to 70070.

You tried the beta?

Hearing all sorts of negativity surrounding it on Reddit. Putting me off buying, although I would be waiting till it’s cheaper anyway.

I like it from what I've seen so far. In terms of changes it's definitely the one that felt the most different from the previous release since I started buying the game yearly way back with FM06.
