:lol:

Same one I've sported all football season, Em. Sparky made it for me back at the Old Swiss when he was a regular. He also made Maineiac, Bags and LadyHawk one as well. Hmmm. Sparky. Another Swiss dropout..... :cry: Who woulda' thunk so many would be gone. Well, Happy New Year wishes to all of those who've moved away from Swiss too. The Best of the Best to all!!! <3

Looks like huangdong78, Grizzled, Flopdingmona and atmomenda have joined or at least registered here at Swiss recently. (User names sure are interesting!). Not sure who any of you are but welcome all - hope to see you comment on any of the 'topics' that might interest you...

Hmmm, any thought to a 'today' type topic that automatically is at the top of the topic list so when anyone opens the Swiss site, it's there. Think some folks struggle a bit navigating Swiss. Peace's 'Corner' is great for help. Just an idea to make Swiss 'easier' to get around and a general type convo topic that's EASY to find / access. Thoughts??? CK, smail if needed....

"Switzerland" would be a great topic name for a place for newbies to 'sign in' when they first arrive. Perhaps, something like: 'SWITZERLAND NEWBIES, START HERE' - or STOP HERE IF YOU'RE NEW... Then we can have a directory there? PEACE! OH PEACE--WHERE ARE YOU??? Anyone else have thoughts on this? :?: :?: :?:

dred, I love the idea of a simple 'Switzerland' topic and keep it on top of the others. Thinking that could be the main topic / thread - kind of like the old Swiss where we could all be at the same 'place' at the same time w/ out trying to chase each other from topic to topic. Especially now, since Hawk fans (unless there's any NE, Jets, ATL, GB, CHI, PITT, BAL fans around) have the only team still playing....

I somehow lost my Av when I tried to change my picture (away from my game day face, as my team will not be back until next year (at the very least) and I am considering abandoning football anyway... :lol:

So it is agreed, just plain old SWITZERLAND. I'll speak to Peace and see if we can get it to be on the top all the time, and maybe get a note up at sign-in telling people who stumble in off the streets :roll: telling them to visit that topic first?

If Switzerland is going to ADD another room (to the current 83?!!), perhaps PeaceKeeper should clean off some of the old ones? I mean really... this place is resembling Windsor Castle! 83 rooms... *SMH*

Well it looks like there are only 2 rooms with any action at all right now. I guess we'll have to wait until people are missing football and looking to the new season for the place to liven up again. Funny, it gets busier here when season is getting heated and then again when people are missing the game so much they need to look to the future and talk to other fanatics. I guess Facebook has really drained our population as well. At least we have this weekend to watch my Patriots soar and LH's Seahawks to crash. MUAHAHAHAHAHA--I am SO excited for the games this weekend!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmmm, maybe instead of "adding" another room / topic to the the blog rooms, can 'Switzerland' be one of the featured Forums under Board Index when you first access the site? Think we're all just offering suggestions to make Swiss easy to get around and have a single 'community' type thread that's easy to recognize....

JUST A SHORT NOTE TO THE FAITHFUL WHO STILL POST HERE (AND ANYONE *HOOVERING--IF ANYONE IS, IN FACT *HOOVERING ANY MORE)...

I HAVE HEARD TELL THAT THERE ARE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN MAKING COMMENTS OUTSIDE OF SWITZERLAND, REFERRING TO OUR LITTLE HOME AS A 'GRAVEYARD.' EVEN IF THAT'S TRUE, AND EVEN THOUGH THE MEMBERSHIP HAS FALLEN OFF SEVERELY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS--I AM SAD TO HEAR THAT REMARKS TO THAT EFFECT ARE BEING MADE.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE QUESTIONED ME ABOUT SHUTTING IT DOWN HERE, THE ANSWER IS, I HAVE WORKED TOO HARD TO MAKE SWITZERLAND SPECIAL, AND TO KEEP IT RUNNING REGARDLESS OF DROP-OFFS IN MEMBERSHIP, AND I HAVE NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INTENTION OF CLOSING IT DOWN NOW BECAUSE THINGS ARE SLOW (REALLY, REALLY SLOW).

SWITZERLAND IS AND WILL BE HERE FOR ANYONE WHO CHOSES TO DISCUSS FOOTBALL--OR TO START A ROOM TO DISCUSS WHATEVER ELSE YOU WISH (EVEN IF YOU FIND YOURSELF TALKING TO YOURSELF EVERY NOW AND AGAIN), WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS TURNING INTO BRAWLS, FIGHTS, ARGUING OR THE LIKE.

WITH THE SEASON WINDING QUICKLY DOWN, IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET SLOWER, BUT SOONER OR LATER (AND REGARDLESS OF FACEBOOK) FAMILY AND OTHERS CAN VISIT AND TALK OR VENT OR WHATEVER. THE GAMES WILL ALSO CONTINUE (I THINK THE "EYES" ARE THE ONLY SEASON-'ROUND GAME, BUT OTHERS MIGHT BE ADDED IN THE OFF-SEASON BECAUSE NOT ONLY I, BUT THE REST OF MY TINY STAFF WILL BE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU AS BEST WE CAN DURING THE PERIOD OF MISERY (OFF-SEASON).

I HOPE THOSE OF YOU THAT STILL VISIT (THE VALIANT FEW :D) WILL CONTINUE TO COME AROUND. PEACE, PETER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY OUR LITTLE COUNTRY--SWITZERLAND.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE -- I LOVE YOU.

Hey, ck and Swiss! Pretty crazy year of NFL this is huh? I caught a few of the playoff games so far, entertaining to say the least. May the best two match up in the big dance. I think the NFC Champ game is going to be great again this year. Not sure I want to see the Steelers in Arlington. If they do go and happen to win, that's three in the last six years? I'm a little surprised by that possibilty.

Hey Dred--good to see you (as always <3 ).

Apparently, I was the only one out-of-the-loop about things being said regarding my (still) precious (to me) Switzerland. I guess the people who really care about me didn't want to hurt me, but as it happens--some people who didn't give a rat's ass (about me :roll: )(excuse my inelegance) decided I needed to know. That's okay, because I really should know about what is going on in the outside world and/or what is being said (technically speaking, of course).

After I (sort of :? ) got my act together following the little jolt of reality (big DUH...Zero posts = dead-and-gone Football Forum :shock: ), I chose to do the post advising the world (or whoever gave a crap) know that I had no intention of shutting Switzerland down (which I don't). I love this place, and even if I have to blog to myself, I'm just not ready to give up on it.

The funny thing is--my post brought some interesting things to light. I got several telephone calls (I can't believe that many people had my number, lol!) and emails from various and sundry folk who (I guess) figured that since the word was out, they'd add a little something to my grief :cry: --or in some cases, to say something kind and encouraging :). (You can see how many people decided to come over and post to help bring life back to my dear Switzerland today, right? :lol: )

Well, it was interesting to hear from so many different friends (in some cases) AFTER the post. :idea: I learned even more about the (unfortunate :idea: ) things people have said at those OTHER places :o --and some very, very nice and encouraging :idea: words 8-) from others. :idea: So, live and learn--live and let live--yada yada yada. And, BTW, let me say one further thing to those naysayers who would like to think Switzerland was closing the doors, borders, pages and topics forever...

I AM NOT, I WILL NOT, I HAVE NO INTENTION AT ALL TO CLOSE THIS SITE DOWN (ANY TIME SOON). SWITZERLAND WILL REMAIN OPEN TO ALL WHO WISH TO COME HERE (WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE LEFT ON UNHAPPY TERMS, HAPPY TERMS, OR JUST LEFT).

Oh yes, one more thing... To those of you who called, wrote or stopped by and rang my doorbell (NOT :oops: ) to encourage me to keep Switzerland open--THANK YOU <3 ...

MY DEAREST DRED: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MY SMILE, TO A CHUCKLE, TO AN ALL-OUT BELLY LAUGH FOR THE WEEK! YOU KNOW THAT I CONSIDER YOU, YOU KIND AND WONDERFUL MAN, ONE OF MY FRIENDS AS WELL. YOU ABSOLUTELY CHARMED ME WHEN WE SPENT TIME TOGETHER IN INDY. THERE ARE SO FEW GENTLEMEN LEFT IN THE WORLD TODAY, AND YOU ARE CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM!

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SMILES YOU'VE GIVEN ME OVER THE YEARS, AND NOW ESPECIALLY, WHEN FRIENDS ARE SO IMPORTANT! (AS ARE THE SMILES :D !!!!) I HOPE WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER THIS COMING SEASON AS WELL. OF COURSE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME DOWN HERE FOR A DOLPHIN GAME (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT). LAURENCE MANOR ALWAYS HAS A GUEST ROOM OPEN FOR THOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE IN MY LIFE (OF WHICH YOU ARE ONE). HAVE I MENTIONED HOW SPECIAL I THINK YOU ARE? :oops:
