I started posting Tim Ramholt updates on the board off the Flames main site. They'd get maybe 10 views. Got to the point where I was posting "For those 3 people interested here's what happened last night" and had on guy reply "I think you're on the wrong board" to one of my updates.
That's when I got a PM in my inbox from Reggie Dunlop I think it was saying, how he has read some of my updates, and there's a site where people actually care about developing players in the Flames system...

that day I went, registered, and started the "Ramholt Update" series. Mostly read the main board, throw in my 2 cents if I think it'll help discussion, or further things along. Post on the off-topic board about whatever's going on if I know it's right or not (mind you I'll tell you if I'm not certain).
