Thanks for the kind words.

The FOBL site (I've been commish for almost 7 years) was my original playground ... the current version is really the third major redesign, and I'm happy enough with it that I hope I don't do another one for a while.

The FOFL (our sister football league) uses the same basic template, but I designed it with FOBL in mind, certainly. That said, I've been slacking on making a lot of site updates on the FOBL site ... the football league is almost entirely database-driven at this point, and is maintained by one of our other owners.

34 Productions was really born from working on FOBL ... in that I found I liked web design and started a small freelancing operation. I have a variety of small business clients, and generally don't do much for other sport sim sites, but TSW is the exception. A while back, Mark Cooley approached me about redesigning gridiron-glory net, which I did (Gridiron Glory ... College Football at its Finest!). After that, I really just supplied Mark with the graphic mockup template, and he's been able to take that template and use the same basic code for a number of other sites (eMLB and USBA included). It's really an impressive network Mark's got going, but my involvement beyond the initial redesign (g-g.net) has been minimal.

Cheers,
Simms
