I appreciate all those that supported me. It was a great run. In the end, it was unsustainable. Nothing anyone could do. Thanks again.

Dobber

Dobber, Before you go, I want you to know that you built the best fantasy hockey website I have ever been to. What you have achieved is remarkable and very appreciated. I don\'t want this site to stop. I started using fantasy hockey websites about 5 years ago. Since then I have used about 20 or 30 different sites. Yours is by far the best. None can compare. Even the pay sites that I have used are not as good.

I would pay $20 a year to belong to this site. Think about it Dobbs!!!

If you cant make it work, its a damn shame as this site has the best information, the best articles and the best website posters. Not just you and Buggs and the rest, but the common people that post comments are really knowledgeable about hockey. There is not a lot of flaming on this website which is not something most other sites can say.

Dobbs, I\'ll miss you mate. Farewell my friend.

I don\'t think any of Dobber\'s information is worth anything. Paypal donations...memberships to the site? pishaw...I can get my fantasy advice from Matt Romig over at yahoo thank you very much. Romig is winning his experts pool...what\'s Dobber doing this year? Oh yeah...rebuilding...that\'s Dobbercode for LOSING!

Thank you everyone.

Here\'s what I posted elsewhere on the forum:

\"Let me tell you, there was no one more shocked than me. We on staff had no warning, none at all. Dobber had been sitting on this for some time, and I was pissed off, but I\'m sort of numb now more than anything.

But in the darkness, there\'s light. Right after Dobber let his affiliates know, a certain publication that focuses on Hockey News (wink wink) e-mailed me. They\'re more than interested in adding me to their revered staff. I\'ll be the youngest in that publication\'s history to write full-time.

In the end, I echo Dobber\'s sentiments. Thank you, everyone, for a fantastic run. This has been one of the coolest times I\'ve ever had.

You can send me questions at my new address, mrbugg@thn.com\"

Well, that\'s a sad night, that goes without saying. After Daymond No-I-Won\'t-Stop Langkow helped me stay in first place in my keeper, reading this sure is a downer.

Dobber, I won\'t be original here, but it is BY FAR the best fantasy site out there in Hockey World. Not only for the quality of the ramblings/ratings/articles/, not only for this new look and the forum, but also for the sense of community we\'ve founded coming here everyday, exchanging thoughts, getting and giving advice, and so on.

I know the idea has been raised already : just want to say I\'d also be willing to pay to keep Dobber Hockey alive. It\'s true we spend a lot of money on crappy magazines : why not make a contribution ?

Hey, we just have to drink one less beer per week. Let\'s say : 2 bucks a beer X 52 : 100 bucks. Make it really cheap and disgusting beer : 1 buck x 52 : 52 bucks. Hell, let\'s drink all we want : just 25 bucks a year would be ridiculous considering the time we spend on this site everyday, and the pleasure we find spending it.

Anyway, whatever happens, hats off, Darryl Dobbs !!!

That\'s all I can say : hats off ! And if it is an April Fool, well... :angry:

Thank you Dobber and the rest of your crew! The best fantasy hockey.. period. I\'ve only just started playing hockey pools this year and I have learned a lot from this site.
I wish you and all your contributors much success!
Cheers!

If it was anyone but Dobber doing this on April 1st I would probably bite hard. One of my great joys every day is to dial into this site to marvel at what an outrageous, self-righteous, SOB Dobber is and how damn good he is at this stuff.

I think you are jerking our chains Dobber. If not, oh well, guess I can eat Clowe tomorrow and then I will make you an offer for the site - you know the old buy low sell high theory.
