Looking forward to 2005

2005 is upon us already.

To make the year more interesting, what new features do you want to add to make the year more exciting?

I may opt to launch a rotisserie/Scrabble fantasy manager if there is enough response. For the first year, I will probably start with RM5 just to make it lighter on your money purse. The competition can be based on many variables, including ratings changes, wins and losses, average score, etc. All of these can be easily accessed via toucanet.com

If there are any other features you would like to see added in the coming year, please do not hesitate to email me at rhyen518@yahoo.co.uk
