I lurk the forums on occassion but haven't been a consistent poster in years! Glad to see you are still around, mint.
I have seen expert post a few times on here and I think J and jdefoe may have posted here recently. Other than them, I don't think any of our old friends are around anymore
The forums were down for a long time, so the little amount of traffic/regular posters we had just sort of trickled away I guess. Expertfootball doesn't come up as a top result when I Google for training tips either. Sad to see the forums so inactive.

Yeah I remember when that happened. I think a lot of us got older and busier with life as well. I joined EF when I was 15 and now at 26 my interests/responsibilities have greatly changed. I'll always come back and check this site every so often but back in the day I would visit the forums every day.

Yeah that's the exact same with me. I think I was 13 when I first found EF, and would come on to check the forums almost every day. I still drop by every now and then to check if there are any new posts, but like you said, we all have other commitments, and there isn't many active posters to respond to really.
They say old EFers never die, they just fade away...
Happy to see so many names I remember! I'll try to drop in a few times a week if I can. Anyone want to catch us up on what they've been up to in the interim?
I'll start - I slogged my way through a five year university degree (computer engineering), and landed a job right out of school with a fantastic local company fighting banking fraud and money laundering. Couldn't be happier! Been through three relationships since my last EF post but am currently with my first live-in girlfriend; we have a cat I named John George Terry and a cute little white hedgehog named Quillian.
I have kept somewhat in touch with CB who discusses music with me on last.fm (RomeLeader) and rzadinski with whom I exchange the odd Tweet - mint has reached out before as well. Anyone who wants to keep in touch can find me on Twitter (@Rome_Leader) of course, or PM me and if I know you well enough, I'll be happy to share my Facebook details. You can also find me on the Chelsea FC subreddit fairly regularly. I truly miss discussing football with all of you.
