And there goes BlackSilver.

Now, I figured a rarely-checked Forum on the MLP page wouldn't do justice to what Lisa and BlackSilver have contributed to MLP, so naturally, I had to re-post it here.

Sadly, Black & Silver will have to pull out of MLP this season dueto circumstances out of my control with the league. However, personally,I have been struggling with the decision of changing leagues and the opportunities that came to my attention. I want to thank BE, NR, and especially BBM who offered exceptional hospitality and opened up their leagues to me to call my new home.
As a captain for many years, I ache at the opportunity to try again to competein the MLP, but circumstances at home prevent me from having "free-playtime on the net."My new job as a teacher for 2 grade levels has left me no spare time this year. The public school failed at teaching my children and passed them anyways without learning the concepts and steps to advance in critical subjects and when we tested them ourselves, it proved that this reality is there for all parents to take notice of...:(
So, basically I said screw them and I will assess their progress myself through a tough curriculum which will ultimately lead them to 2 grade levels ahead and back on track...YAY! Go Lisa Go..lol
MLP has been very Good for me. When I first started here, I was told negative things about my captain abilities and then MLP gave me a Captain Award! Then, when Sophie approached me to fill an administrative position and as soon as my name went up, I recieved a mean IM about how horrible Iwas at administrating and that they had bets on me failing or succeeding...:(...lol...well as anything in life, the positive outweighs the negative and I believe I did a good job...:) I would like to thankSophie, David, Judy, Sean, Glen, Brandi, Andy, Lenny, and especially mysha for having me on staff andall the help you gave to me over time. All of you have done a great job bringing all the leagues together to compete and have fun in the BEST INTERLEAGUE ON THE NET!!!
I will never forget the anticipation, tough, trying, heart-throbbing, excitement that the MLP has brought to me and my players.As I think about my players, my heart wants to wrap around each of you and never let go!!! I know what you did for me as well as representing our lg. BS is definately a legacy with all the great players who have graced her presence. Imagine if we had them all at one time....LOL...Haggy, Crypt,Hero, Tooth, X_Monkey, Slam, Gregory, Jeff, Sam, Eels, Darjr, Rev, Clyde, Pita, Super, krunal, Ace, Red,Ivey, Franchise, Brad, WOZ, King, Aaron, Astro, Slavko, Woody...:), tyler, trouble, nascar, shadow, Born, Adam,and the saga of qball and moe....lol...BUT did you know how the woman of BS kicked tail too??! Sarah,Lara, Jackie, Lori, Silver, Sally, Steph, White, Zelda, Myst, Ms_Universe, PonyGirl, Angel, Liz, andlittle Lisa...:)....I want to thank you all personally for making BS a team that was always sought-after,spirit-driven, fiercely competative, and full of comradary!
I wanted to say to all the captains and my favorite ones that I respect and admire your dedication and I will treasure the memories of our matches and the new friends I found at your lgs. I wanted to say tyvm to all the people who said very kind comments about me in cubby's sc about captains because it touched my heart so deeply to know you felt that way...and at a time when I needed uplifting...it really made it allworth doing the job I loved! Danaaaaaa.....I miss you already...Traceyyyy....I declare we won SIPC....lol...right Crypt? lol Vickie/Victor.....you don't get a category of gender...lol...j/k (kind of)...:) Myyyyyyshaaaaayou are absolutely THE BEST EVER LADY!!!!

(same to you bri-bri) :) It has been my pleasure knowing all of you and youknow I love you very much....God Bless you...TY MLP for bringing my online friends and I together...
Bye Bye and HUGE HUGGERS MY BUDDIES!!!Lisa Kathleen

^^^^And of course, I have to ruin it with my own comments. Lisa was perhaps far and away the nicest captain of them all. She was like Pita except Pita could actually play! *burn* j/k. I think us long-timers will most remember BlackSilver for that miracle comeback in Season 4 where they started 1-5, and rallied off 7 consecutive wins on their way to stealing a Playoff spot from Pool Masters. Can you say... MAJOR LEAGUE'D!? There were small hints that something like this was going to happen even before the season started, but at least they tried. They'll of course get an 0-for-Season 6, but Lisa did absolutely everything she could've. And now... Onto other news:

LET'S GO RED SOX!
