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!

OK, there has been enough heartburn that it appears that there is a core that wants to keep this league going. Let's here from you. With the right type of cooperation and participation and patience we can get this done.

For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
I would love to keep it running. I understand one person can't do all the work. The 2 or 3 guys that left here though and went to start up another league we could have used here and just kept this one alive. That is what I don't understand.
If you are willing to devote the time why would you go start up another league instead of just keeping the one that we already spent two years working on alive? That is what gets me.
Maybe they had a bad team and knew there was no chance of catching up and figured a new league might return better results. If you have some impact players to start with you can build the rest with good smart moves.
I had nothing bunk junk on my team outside of about 8 players or so. In 1 year I built my team up from scratch and there were only about 10-15 players that I was not going to keep. After the great draft picks I had going into this year my team would have been just about set and filled with nothing but young guys with good talent and ratings. Some of the positons I did not have crap at before was all of a sudden going to be a huge strength with depth also. On defense I would have only had 1 starter rated a 6 and the rest higher because of my good moves. I even had depth players rated good. I only planned on having a couple players over the age of 28 on my team after this year. I was definitely one of the top favorites for the title going into this year. If not this year then next year would have definitely been my year for a great run and with my young loaded team with a good salary cap outlook for the future I would have had a dynasty.
You can rebuild a team with the few key players. I just don't understand why 2 or 3 people left this league and started up another one from scratch if they were obviously willing to pitch in and devote the time to this one that was already going for two years. Starting one up from scratch even takes more time to devote to the game when the most time consuming part is the initial stocking draft.
If we can get enough people back and some better owners on a couple teams...
I'd be willing to help out with the management of the league. I don't have a ton of time, but if there were 3-4 good GM's working together then i can afford some time to help out.
there can be NO MORE accusations about the simming of games. I want a rules instated that anyone who alludes to this, or makes this accusation will be fined 2 mill against their cap for 1st offence, 10 mill for their second and expulsion for the 3rd. THis is meant to be FUN, but making those sorts of accusations is a major insult to the people who are putting their time in to make it enjoyable and should NOT happen.

To be honest at this point I would just say hell with it and try to use a more understood program I would even suggest simming a Madden league the same way we did this one. Its stupid to try and rebuild with 8 owners who are interested. Not too mention we could have a little computer competition in a Madden league as well.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I'd love to keep going as long as we get more people involved to help out Eb. I'd be willing to help with the technical side of things like help setting up the website and such.

considering this poll was put up 2 days ago and only 8 people have voted yes, I think that says it all. if 16-18 owners had voted yes I would have done what I could next month to pick things up but honestly its not worth it with less than 75 % of the league not caring or not being involved so it was a great run but I am gonna vote no
