25 Reasons FUMBBL is Great
Not trying to be "in order" or anything, but starting high profile and moving into more personal.

1. Christer. If you're on Discord, you can see (and even watch live) lots of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps this place running!
2. Candlejack. Lots of great work happening to improve the client and other side projects.
3. NAF activity right here in FUMBBL! (Stimme and Neil and others)
4. 145 Club Admins. It's not the easiest game to learn, so a space to help people who have newly discovered FUMBBL and/or BB is wonderful.
5. Razmus - in addition to bot stuff does a great community round up where you can see what's happening in leagues and groups across FUMBBL.
6. League admins - too many to name! So many great leagues and groups here (see link above). Some of the literal best players in the world can mix it up across the seas and timezones.
7. Garion's Secret League. Shhhh!
8. Koadah - all sorts of projects over the years, including lots of love for the box (HLP, ARR, Sprints) going back a long time and more recently the OLC.
9. JAVA (Oracle). Well, IDK actually - but I like that the game is freely available so that part seems great!
10. Java (Coach). Java tests stuff on JAVA. A lot. More than you know! The name checks out.
11. FUMBBL Admin staff. They click many buttons and try not to roll their eyes much, and as a result the site runs much more smoothly! Include all information and links (like a link to the team you're talking about) needed when submitting a request for help, so they don't have to waste time asking for it!
12. FUMBBL Tournament staff. Tournaments! Woo!
13. The greater FUMBBL community. Those who have been here a while realize that this community is something special. The efforts above (and many more) make lots of things possible:
14. PurpleChest has been such a fixture of the community wearing many hats going back a long time (a long, long time - he's really old!) so while OWOBB is not "technically" a FUMMBL exclusive thing... we know where it gets its heart from! Shhh, don't tell the BB2 crew.
15. Folks like Ramchop do amazing and delightful things that we look forward to every year!
16. The streaming community on FUMMBL! Some really great stuff has been happening with top BB streamers coming and streaming FUMBBL games. Too many to link and I don't want to leave anyone out, but if you're looking for folks to stream just ask in FUMBBL Discord and you'll get some links!
17. FUMBBL Discord! IRC may have faded, but the community lives on!
18. Stuff like this, with community members organizing a community member interviewing another community member to help the community!
19. MerryZ. Uh... Sure, why not? FUMMBL is so great that even The Finns are welcome! Woo! ;)
20. This is an add-free site with a hugely functional thing (really many things put together) of substantial value that we can access for free. How fast was that new vamp roster added? It was nearly instant! It feels like magic - but it comes from effort!
21. FUMBBL dice! Hand-painted!? Who would even have time for such stunts?
22. New FUMBBL server! And storage server! Hand-built? Who would even have time for such stunts?
23. New stuff being added to FUMMBL like BBT and Gauntlet interface and new team page and NAF numbers right in bios and... Hand-coded? Who would even have time for such stunts?
24. Everyone else who deserved mention but who I forgot to include typing this up quickly. You know who you are! People like Spence with PotY who I forgot to add in because this thing is new - but I've edited it in now so that no one will ever know!
25. Real-life connections that only exist because of FUMMBL.

This last one is most important. In 2022 I traveled across the country to meet FUMBBL friends in-person for the first time at a tournament. We even made shirts! And others have done similar. So while a list of reasons is just a list of reasons, every once in a while it's great to remember some of the reasons this place is special and (if you are able) to toss a few coins into the hat to help keep this wonderful place going.

It's important we all appreciate what we have and then try to keep it as great.

Nice! I'm just going to add one more: getting to play against happygrue, which I've only done once, but is my most memorable game on FUMBBL
Posted by happygrue on 2024-01-31 20:15:28
Cheers, gettym! An exciting match for sure. I originally planned on 50 reasons to be posted early this month and your blogs would have gotten a specific mention (along with a bunch of other great folks doing great stuff) but... real life and "reasons" and here we are at the end of the month with half the stuff. ;)
