A brief history of my quest to find match-ups on Fumbbl:

I loaded the client, and downloaded HydraIRC. I was informed by people like Darkwolf how to use bowlbot to display my teams. When I did this, I got offers for games, and played them. I also offered games to others whose lfgs displayed. After a while, I saw someone list only a couple of teams, and figured out how to do it. Now I often do that.

I have NEVER used gamefinder. Ever. Probably never will. I have been assured that my teams are removed from it when I start a game, so I have seldom, if ever, "left" teams on it. But guess what? There are probably a lot of new players who don't use it either, since it's completely un-necessary to do so to find games. they don't mean to leave things there. They aren't thoughtless, they are oblivious. Don't be hard on them. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
