All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

While Buffalo Sabres defenceman Teppo Numminen was off getting heart surgery this season, the team decided not to pay him his $2.6 million salary.
"This whole situation is doing nothing to help the Sabres down the road to attract players to their market," one high-ranking official within the league said.

Golisano is a very successful businessman, but running a payroll processing company and a professional sports franchise are very different things.
Not only did the Sabres shoot themselves in the foot with Numminen, but with Grier, Briere, Drury and Campbell as well. It's not simply that players will not want to come here, but the fans have been alienated, and Golisano's bottom line obsession has backfired - his stingy ways have seriously damaged his beloved bottom line.
The revenues from a deep playoff run this year would probably have more than offset the incremental increases in the salaries of the good players who he wouldn't re-sign.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I wrote 10 posts on this same subject the night the Sabres we're eliminated. Tom G. put away his checkbook and choked off the team / fans. I am going to see if he is home this afternoon and drop a bag of flaming crap on his doorstep, his house is pretty much next door here.

Put in a couple of turds for me. I'm really sick of the stingy, tightwad way he is ruining the Sabres.

I don't think the team "screwed over" Teppo at all.
Say you hire a guy to put a new roof on your house and shed...
and negotiated a contract to pay him a $15,000 flat rate (based on a $20/hr. + materials estimate).
After he finishes the roof on your shed, he finds out he needs heart surgery for a condition he knew about
and he can't be a roofer any longer...
He doesn't even start the roof on your house and can't finish the job.
If his heart surgery wasn't the result of a mis-fired nail gun on your shed roof,
would you pay him the full $15,000 for your little shed roof?
I sure wouldn't, but I would agree to pay him $25/hr. for the shed roof because it was such a small short-term job.
the teppo situation is a nothing. even teppo says he wants to play here. any team that would pay a guy all season for problems unrelated to hockey are the dumbasses
some of the other accusations of stinginess have more merit
