@a-s-p-e-c-t I remember it was in the press room, where you'd write articles or sth like that
Yes, you could have been doing that as well, but on the main page of your slot/account you had somewhere around league table a small chatbox in which you could've chat directly with people from your league.

@kicla Welcome back dude, always nice to see someone from your legendary crew back active
As for the points, Manager points are completelly removed from OSM, all you have now is Manager medals. And as long as you play active and open leagues top 100 is hardly achieveable sadly. Too many medal manipulation allowed without enough ban regulation

Used to play this game alot back in the day was a kid back then so I have an awful record I had no clue what I was doing. Depressing though seeing how inactive the Forums are now though used to be very active back when I was playing.

@reubs-1 Me and my friend used to play since 2017 when I was 10 years old

@غير-مسجل_9 I was around that age but this was back in 2011/12 I'm 19 now. OSM used to be called OFM in the the UK. I obviously never revealed my age though because I'd have gotten ripped on.

@diar-is-the-best I remember playing GTP I was dreadful at it though don't think I earned a single point for my team

I know this isn't quite one of my OG 2013-15 memories - I've done nothing but lurk on the forums for the past seven years - but but the messages you used to get while logging into OSM (even the last time I checked before today, which was the summer of 2021) used to be witty, hyperbolic comments about what football managers did. Now they're dry, ordinary comments about what OSM players can do.
I have been paying so little attention to OSM that I have only just learned that Gamebasics merged into Miniclip eighteen months ago. Miniclip? THE Miniclip? The guys who used to do 8 Ball Pool - one of the games us managers used to play back in the General Café all the way back in 2014? We had a league and everything! Curses be upon you if you accused me of dipping from my matches, because my internet connection was positively atrocious in those days! (It's not as if I remember who you were, anyway

@nixieosm Then there were people in charge of forums who had a job to make forum active and interesting. Nowadays If we have a problem and wr post it on forum we wait 4 days for a reply from someone official (if we even get a response), so to have someone official who would work more on forum activity and forum quality is a science fiction sadly.
Different times and forum is not a priority at the moment for game owners. Just as game quality and game conpetitivity is being dulled with every single update which only purpose is to boost coin spending by newbies who start the game..

@Majstor-Matt in some nations (like Polish but I know that not only) community is moving to Discord, Whatsapp or Messenger. This is why forum is so inactive now days. Young people preffer direct contact with instant reply on DSC, Whastapp or Messenger rathet to wait days to get reply on forum....

Heyy it’s so strange coming back here every few years.. such a weird feeling- spent so many of my teenage years here (well on the old forums lol), sad to see not too many are left :(( Catch y’all in another 2 years do so lmao
In this very thread five years ago, I recalled my interactions with your brother, the legendary Mr.William.Football. (Fun fact: William was a moderator of the General Café subforum, predecessor of the Sports Bar, in the pre-2017 forum. At least he was during my Big Interview, where I made a snide comment about his modliness after telling a couple of somebodies I've forgotten to take their chatter to PMs.)
If I've managed to summon you by proxy after five years, I'd imagine you'd do a good job of summoning yourself directly within two years... or, as it were, twenty-two-and-a-half months. For what it's worth, this is my third login since June 2022 and I've made a habit of posting on the forums every time.
The Gamebasics homepage now says that "more than a million gamers play OSM every day." Imagine how big the number must be if you add all the nice, lovely, old-forum-era people who log in out of interest every few months... or years.
