    I'd like to thank Tom and Mike for the dedication to both Fulham and Fulham USA. It's easy to take this site for granted, but they conceived the idea, set it up, and keep adding new features to it to keep it fresh. The messageboard and gameday chats are but two examples.

    I also want to thank the many online friends I've made on this site, people like Hatter Don, DC Heather, Johnny Cash, RDG, Pettyfog, and others. I got a chance to meet some of you in Columbus, and I'm hoping for another Fulham trip to the States this summer to meet many more of you.

    After all, what makes this site stand out is the civility of the people on it. We've had a couple of instances of rude people joining up, but fortunately, they've gone away. I read so many other sites where the discourse turns personal and vindictive as soon as their is a disagreement. Fulham USA proves we can disagree without being disagreeable.

    Anyway, here's to many more years of Fulham football and Fulham USA!

    On behalf of Mike, Tom and Don.. Thanks Dave.

    Special props to Mike and Tom for having the foresight to add me as mod.

    Which takes care of the 'Rudeness' factor. I learned by reading another {non-FFC} forum there's only room for ONE asshole, and that's me, on here.

    Of course I prefer to think of myself as the 'Benevolent Asshole'

    Cheers.
    Thanks for all your hard work and for making this site a place where people can actually enjoy themselves. I can't go a day without my FulhamUSA fix. I can always come here for a good laugh, others thoughts & Fog's (B.A) rants ={)}.

    Funny thing is that I remember being on bigsoccer and seeing supporters groups for Arsenal and Man United and was really hoping there would be one for Fulham but to no avail. In actuality, I didn't care about the demand for it...just wanted to start one because I really loved my Fulham experiences (on both sides of the pond) and hoped other scould experience what I have.

    Special thanks to the Fulham Supporters Club in England for their support. Neil has always been there for us and we will be forming an official link soon.

    Lastly, the sponsoring of Brian McBride for three consecutive seasons has been an honor and everyone on FulhamUSA should be very proud of that. I know he is.

    Thank you for the kind words Dave, means alot.

    I'd like to thank Mikey and ChiTom for this site as well, and 'fog for maintaining it, and for the collection of interesting and provocative posters who frequent it.

    As a telecommuter, I see very few of the people I work with on a regular basis. This site, my church, and my band constitutes much of my social contact. I'm very happy to be "the other muppet" here.

    Three years! There should be a party somewhere! :banana:

    Can't really add to the eloquence except to offer a congrats and thanks for the only messageboard most of us have ever participated in. You guys have a lot to be proud about.

    amazing to see the growth that has taken place on here since I joined in August of 2006. Thanks to the contributions by everyone for making my FUSA experience an addiction to which I keep coming back for more.

    Thanks to all of you who make this site what it is. Mike, Pettyfog, HatterDon and myself could put a million new features on the site, but without your willingness to be a part of this growing Fulham community it would mean nothing. So thank you for everything and heres to many more years!

    If it wasnt for this site and the community herein, I probably wouldn't have stuck with Fulham.

    So thanks everyone!!! I am deeply indebted.

    A special thanks to Tom, Mike, Don and Stu. All of you have been helpful with the many questions I've had over the past few months. Fog, you've done a fantastic job with the general upkeep of the site and for that we are all grateful.

    It has been great to actually meet some of you at the matches this season. Without the fantastic Fulham supporters, this site would not be the fantastic site it is today.

    Well done FUSA.

    Just a point of clarity, here... Mike handles the SITE server and code administration. Plus doing the banners and stuff...like the current 3rd anniversary one.
    Tom does the vast bulk of the main site editorial and user maintenance work. I pitch in once in a while when I'm not looking around for stuff to piss Don off.

    I generally handle just the forums.
    And Don.. well he's been follawin English Fitba for nigh unter 40 y'ars!

    Yes, you should be happy to be the other muppet! I'm glad Mike brought that avatar out of a short retirement, it still amuses me.:D

    Btw, like Dave I'm glad to have met some of you in the real world. And I'm just waiting to repay Mike and Katy for a few beers when they eventually make it to DC. :wink:

    Many, many thanks and props to Tom, Mike, Petty, Don, all the regulars, the not-so-regulars, and everybody else that I may have missed for making FUSA what it is today. This is truly a special place and really solidified my status as an ardent Fulham supporter.

    May the good times roll for many more years to come! :banana:

    Has it really been that long? Seems like yesterday that I was waiting for Mike to show (he was late, as usual) when the fellow at the bar started chatting. After a few moments, I realized who he was (I'd read enough of his postings on the offal) and said, "Hey, you're NJGlen!" Since then, I've met a lot of wonderful people, in New York, Columbus and London.

    THANKS GUYS!!!!!
