Forum re-shuffle

In order to improve the accessibility and organisation of the forums, we have merged several existing forums and we have created several new forums. The Good Players Forum, Tactics and Training Forum and the Guides Forum have merged to form the EHM Knowledge Forum. This name is subject to change. Three new forums have been created in order to accommodate the growing number of competitions and other forms of user interaction that we are introducing. There is now a Challenge Forum, a Fantasy Hockey Forum and a general Competitions and Games Forum. Watch this space for news on the competitions...

TBL is back!

The past month or so have been uncertain times for EHM users looking for a place to call home. Your former moderating crew at ‘Susie’ have been working to change that for good. We’ve rebuilt, revamped and resurrected The Blue Line! We’d like to welcome users old and new to the third version of our site. Through the continued contributions of the TBL team and of course with the help of you, the EHM community, we can remain the number one EHM fansite on the net. The new TBL design is much sleeker and easy to navigate thanks to the excellent...

TBL now on Susie

s a part of moving everything over to Susie, the forums and downloads on TBL are no longer available. Most of the files have been moved over to Susie; those which haven’t yet will be in the near future. The forums are also now on Susie rather than here. So, if you haven’t already signed-up at Susie, do so now!

The Blue Line joins Sortitoutsi!

It’s official! The TBL team has joined forces with Sortitoutsi.net! Sortitoutsi (aka Susie), probably the best-supported and most professional Football Manager site, has branched out into EHM. Both webmasters of TBL (Archibalduk and Octavian) have joined Sortitoutsi and are running the EHM section of the site. This means that all of the content will be moved over to the Susie server over the coming days and weeks – in fact some of the files already been moved accross. We urge all users of TBL to join the Susie forums so that the thriving community of TBL can continue over in Susie. With better...

TBL NHL: EHM Team

I’m currently trying to get a team in NHL:EHM made up of interested users. The basic idea is that I replace a team and add all users from the TBL forums (those who are interested) in to the team and then sim/play the games and post the results, news, etc. in this thread. I did this thing before on the SI Games OTF forum using NHL 2004 (I would have carried on with that but I had to leave my desktop computer at home. Also, my laptop’s graphics card isn’t good enough). It was very successful and good fun.  At...

One new file and one old file!

Regen List – by Peter10This spreadsheet lists around 800 NHL players’ attributes which can be used to compare to regens. Regen players keep certain attributes of the player they replace so then it is possible to find out who the regen has replaced. NHL: EHM Patch 1.0.7 – by SI GamesReleased ages ago but for some reason was never added to the site! In other news, I’ve finished copying all of the download statistics from the old site. Now that the new-look design has been completed, the old site has been deleted. RIP TBL v2!

New site design!

The new style forum-based TBL site is now finished (apart from a few final touches). Rather than having a seperate site and forum, we have put them together within a ‘Portal’. This means that everything is accessible from one central page. Users can see what the latest news and forum topics are, as well as the latest cool pics and files to be uploaded from the Portal. The site has become a lot more user-friendly, especially the cool pics section (found under “Album” in the Navigation Menu) which now allows registered users to upload their own cool pics. Read about how to do...
