13. Where do you see Funkypool in 10 years time?
Unless it migrates to Tablets then im affraid its doomed

14. Which country on average produces the best Funkypool players?
Scotland is in for a shout. Few great players from up here, Tinie sometimes seems unstoppable.

15. Lastly, if you could have one single idea implemented to Funkypool what would it be
Like i previously said it has to be implemented on tablets or its always going to depreciate in members. Look at mini clips pool on tablets there are thousands of people online at any given time. But saying that i dont like the tablet version and enjoy sitting at the PC playing. So maybe some sort of merger where Tablet players can play PC player keeping the same Funkypool setup would be perfect.

1. When and how did you find Funkypool?

Searched for online pool games on google and found this.

2. Do you remember your first significant Funkypool achievement?

Probably getting the first ever 9 at minigolf.

3. Which game type is your favorite and why?

Any on the us tables, never liked the uk table, to me the uk game is arcade and we need a pro table.

4. Would you consider yourself a rank, tournament, clan or anything goes type of player?

Don't play as much now, enjoy a few friendlies and a game of killer.

5. Where do you stand on resetting?

No problems with it, without it there would be more deactivations.

6. If you could pass on 'one' single tip what would it be?

If theres no easy shot on think safe, a whacky shot could cost you.

7. Do you play pool in real life?

Used to play alot in leagues but not got the time now.

8. What's your worst habit whilst playing funkypool?

Easily distracted by the tv and reading the forums.

9. Which table baize colour do you use?

Original for all.

10. Which is your preferred cursor?

Outline.

11. Do you have a bogey player?

Everyone

12. Can you name 3 members you respect and the reasons why?

Theres alot of good people on here but I have to mention horse10000, been mates with keith more or less since day one, he treats everyone the same and one of the fairest people on here, one of the good guys.

13. Where do you see Funkypool in 10 years time?

Hopefully still going and playable on tablets.

14. Which country on average produces the best Funkypool players?

Wheres ab_rfc from ?, oh yeh Scotland

15. Lastly, if you could have one single idea implemented to Funkypool what would it be?

Cash games could be good but I think limits would need to be set and only for certain games, the odd winner takes all tournament and killer would be good.

I remember it well and i also remember Nick saying he didn't design the last hole for a single shot.

Nature always finds a way

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply! It's been a good read so far!

1. When and how did you find Funkypool?

Almost a decade ago, played it in high school to pass time.

2. Do you remember your first significant Funkypool achievement?

My first ever tournament win maybe, pretty sure it was 8US and there was about 50 entrants! Standard back then ;)

3. Which game type is your favorite and why?

Straight because it seems to be limitless and can never be "won"

4. Would you consider yourself a rank, tournament, clan or anything goes type of player?

Jack of all trades... Master of all

5. Where do you stand on resetting?

I've done it once or twice, I really don't mind

6. If you could pass on 'one' single tip what would it be?

Potting is easy, practice position.

7. Do you play pool in real life?

Used to play a lot of 9ball, not so much now

8. What's your worst habit whilst playing funkypool?

Raging at the imbeciles that occupy this site

9. Which table baize colour do you use?

Pastel

10. Which is your preferred cursor?

Ghost ball

11. Do you have a bogey player?

Corsair

12. Can you name 3 members you respect and the reasons why?

turtle1560 - top bloke and a really really good player
fran_ - been through thick and thin with him as far as this sites concerned
tinie - Poker

13. Where do you see Funkypool in 10 years time?

Unless improvements are made in the generation of new members, probably dead. The decline over the last year is obviously noticeable which is a shame as I really have spent a lot of time on this site.

14. Which country on average produces the best Funkypool players?

Probably England, but then that's also where the most players are

15. Lastly, if you could have one single idea implemented to Funkypool what would it be?

A league that's run by willing moderators that are impartial and therefore fair. I'm not saying the current league runners aren't fair, but the reliability of a league that's run by the site itself would be far better plus things could be worked into the framework of the site to improve the league. Despite what anyone says, the league is what's keeping this site alive, and if improvements were made to the league then the site would probably improve in correlation.

That was my previous answer for the cursor question.

I want to do a complete turnaround now and say the default cursor. I've been giving it a go and the accuracy has got to be the best of the bunch. You really notice the difference on the shots played along the length of the cushion and the setup for those shots doesn't seem as long winded as say the outline.

Thumbs up!

My first Golden Break on 9 Ball US. I screamed and broke my favourite mug.
