We did some upgrading today and had some issues, so it's possible we lost a few things... sorry about that.

It seems to have fixed itself. It's all good. I do a lot of web programming myself so I understand the issues that occur, especially while upgrading. I hope the upgrades will solve the issue of the robots signing on and spamming us every day. I don't envy your job.

I have noticed that foosball websites are generally badly designed and broken often. For example, Charles Mackintosh's site is not great either.

I know that at the beginning when you start your business, it might be costly to set up a good site and infrastructure. However, I think Fireball is successfull enough now to afford to pay for a week's worth of a professional web developer's time to set up a nice Web 2.0 style info & purchase basket website. If you can't find or actually SEE (dark blue links on black background!) the info, it's quite likely the user would move on. There's numerous studies that tell you that an average person stays on a website for only a few seconds. If they hate it, they just move on.

Like you say, Brad, it impacts marketing of the table in a very negative way. The money you pay now on the website will easily double future Fireball sales!

Correct on all accounts.

Now, please explain that to my left brain.

While you are in the mood, feel free to tell the owner of Fireball, Dennis Jiang at tablesoccer.com what you're thoughts are about his site. I will help you contact Dennis at; foosball_site@yahoo.com.
He will be happy to hear from everyone about the professionalism of his site and what it does for Fireball's collective image.

My site is currently being updated as we speak and I now have buttons to be able to purchase products. No, it is not completed but neither is my checkbook. As I  putzed around trying to make those stinking links less stinking, I screwed up and can't unlock the css edit. Mr. Anderson was so nice in trying to help me with some code to add, I blew it.

Thank you for all the positive support and the feedback is great.

This new site of Foosball.com has been a long time coming and it is wonderful to see.

JULY 7th and 9th!

Damn, I was working on a project in October and guess what I put!

Sorry...

[Old Meister]

Brad, we'll forgive the "mature moment" But kudo's on the new coin-op. After playing the tournament this weekend, all I can say is, NICE, NICE, NICE! Like Will Smith said in the movie,"Independence Day" "I got to get me one of THESE!" That table is just too much fun and with time to explore all the possibilities it will only be more fun. I want one. I'm gonna sell that Texan table and get me one I can let it all hang out on, just saying, that table is the bomb!
