Front Office Football Central (FOFC) is an on-line discussion forum dedicated to discussing Front Office Football game issues, other games in the text-sim community

Which page does this happen on?

Which leads me to something else I've noticed. Every so often, someone will post a thread title with a good, old OT.

Shouldn't that be reserved for items that might be ON topic? Those are so few and far between, those should be the one's given a special designation.

If you look at the history, there are a few of us board members here who've basically made that page. Hardly significant in FOF/FOFC having "made it"

BK, I agree with the senitment. The loyal following here at FOFC and purchasers of Jim's franchise of masterpieces (TCY, which isn't listed in Wikipedia included), is responsible, along with Jim of course.

Take a bow folks.

What about humping the shark? I think I'll start using that phrase. Has humping the shark jumped the shark?

There is some fairly subjective language in there - you guys might want to either cite it or tighten it up. Otherwise it just sounds like a fangasm.

I assume you're talking about the FOFC part? I'd agree but also would encourage you to be bold and make the changes yourself.

I doubt he's referring to the FOFC part. I don't see anything subjective there.

I just thought this sentence would benefit from some citations, that's all:

"Having received many favorable reviews over the years, it is considered by many to be the most realistic American Football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football) simulation for the computer."

I don't think I originally wrote that line, but I did add a source just for you Subby.

I think somebody needs to mention how Dean Houston slapped that child. And then Tony Danza Punched that coked out Lindsay Lohan in the back of his Nash Rambler.

Must have been missing from GWB's listing in the multip player forum... I was the one that added a ton of leagues and put them in alphabetical order (which helped quell the constant re-ordering of leagues).

Sharks are OK...but they are no trout.
