That's really interesting and brilliant, that must've taken you a long, long time?

Very interesting Charles. Not many left of the original gang but it would be interesting to see the general statistic for any long running internet game as to how many of the original 1000 sign-ups still play?

* Updated April 2016:

Club 25 Team Easy On is now active again
10 clubs have become inactive over the last year,
and 4 more have now been deleted.

[b]So; as of April 2016: there are now only 8 of the first 1,000 registered teams still currently active.
and the highest #ranked of those is currently Club no. 776 De Stribede at #161

Club 304 has now been deleted.
Club 390 Merseyside Mates is back playing again
Club 776 De Stribede is back playing again

Resulting in 11 of the original teams being currently active (+ Club no.1 - the original creator of the game - who is stil logging in from time to time but not actively playing).
Club 82 Floppers is currently still the highest of the active old teams at #434

Since then, clubs 38, 94, 115, 125, 154, 183, 454, 465, 598, have been deleted,
& 187, 668, 776, have fallen into inactivity.
None of the remaining inactive clubs have returned,
therefore now leaving only 8 of the original 1,000 currently playing.
Club 309 FC John John is currently the highest of the active old teams at #28.

Not much has changed since the last post...
Club 84 has now been deleted,
and several of the inactive clubs have logged in at least once more recently
- but none are currently active again.
