Five days on......

Well it's not five days since I made the decision to close theimps.ka and the bizarre thing is that no-one on the forum seems to have noticed that I've put the announcement that the site will close on the website. To be honest if I could close it now, I would do. Unfortunately I have to wait for two weeks after the most recent article was written before the site automatically closes down, hence why I'm put the closing date as the 29th.

In a strange way I will miss it. For 8 and a half years I have spent building up that website and it has opened up a lot more doors for me, but the reason I loved it most was that I was able to wind up fans of other teams, and even so much my own team.

The amount of times I was told I knew nothing about football, only to then be proven right was quite amusing. For example, I predicted Aldershot to finish in the 2009/10 Playoffs and got called an idiot from most people and that I had lost my mind............they made the Playoffs. Another example being that I did an interview for a Stevenage website and said that they would beat us, I got slagged off by a lot of Lincoln fans and got called an idiot for saying they'd beat us....final score.....Lincoln 0 Stevenage 1.

It always amused me how I turned out to be right 95% of the time and yet I was constantly getting criticised by those who ended up being completely wrong, or even better, those who slagged off my opinion on certain players before then noticing the same flaws themselves and then agreeing.

I also used to love the feedback I used to get from other teams fans.....for example....Shrewsbury Town fans and their lovely opinion. Granted, most of the time my articles wouldn't be written to wind people up, but occasionally I would just add to articles that they found offensive and purposefully add stuff to annoy them.

Oh well, I've moved on now, but I do hope that the people who read the website see that bit at the top of the page and aren't surprised when the site closes next week.
