Wow, a lot of good stuff in the "hall of fame." I haven't read all of it, but I did read a good portion after I clicked the link. Interesting to see the different opinions on the same situations. The off court things are definitely interesting and very cool to see from different points of view, and different sides of the screen. Its nice to be able to read things I have little to no knowledge of from seemingly all angles and form my own opinions based off them. There are posts I question, disagree completely with, some things I understand, some things I probably dont have enough knowledge to fully understand the situations, and some things thats make me wonder if the poster had 10 reasons to make a post attacking the game, and if they realky feel that way still. (10 too many beers, 10 too many lost bets?)

the most intruiging thing to me are the on court things, because that is why I am on the site.

The power outages and a simultanious 'crack' on the wall with everyone hitting the floor, court flooding, cestas breaking, balls through screens, and stories of former frontons, players, and why they played where they did. There seems to be a lot of knowledge here from fans who have been around the game for a long time, former (current?) players who played at multiple frontons with a lot of different players. Its good that you keep these posts alive for people like myself to read. I recall reading a post that said "too bad it will be lost in the archives", which is exactly the reason why this "hall of fame" is perfect. Now I just hope I never run into the witch that sells tickets (although the picture didnt load for me).
