Hey guys. Please make sure your rosters are up to date (rosters, prospects, and picks). Let's all try to be more active. I know the trade deadline has passed but checking into the site at least once a day is hopeful. We currently have one team open, Renegades. If you know anyone that would like to take over the team, let me know. I also have two teams open in my other league: www.kl10.proboards.com - the available teams are Renegades and The Surge. If you're interested in taking a team over, let me know. Thanks.

Before doing more patch up work and finding a replacement for Renegades, it might be useful to gauge everyone's level of commitment to this league. We can safely assume Ardbeggars would need a new GM. And as far as I can tell, Velvet Underground's GM never logs in (though he inexplicably continues to make trades).
I'm willing to commit to a league that works, but I don't anticipate having much fun if we keep having to replace 1/3 of the ownership every season.
You might also do the same in the other league. If you find you only have a handful of committed owners in each, you might want to look into making one new league with those owners and hope for more stability.

i agree, we need some stability.
Renegades has been a stable guy but just doesn't have the time. I've gotten some interest on the Dobber forums and am going to make sure the replacements are active and knowledgable.

I really think it would be best to know exactly how many new owners we would need first. And then see what makes most sense: simply finding replacements or something more drastic.
And if it is simply finding replacements, I think we should do it all at once and make every effort to find guys that we actually know (and, yes, I get the irony of me saying this) and are confident will stay involved.

I agree with Thunder's concerns. Last summer was disconcerting. I'm up for continuation, but I was pretty tempted to bail last year with all the turnover. If it seems we've got stability, I'm good to go. If folks are hedging or know they're done, and if there are a few of them, I'd be fine with closing up shop. I do like the league, but it is frustrating at times. I'm not used to such lax participation. If 3-4 teams change hands again, I think I'd join them.
Just being straight, since I think Thunder is bang on with his thoughts here. I'll wait and see who else chimes in.

If 3-4 teams change hands, I think that means we weeded out the inactive ones.
There are 4 inactive teams right now: -Renegades (need replacement) -Velvet Morning (JR has been sending me roster moves but through texts - he said he plans to be active next season but I will talk to him) -Ardbeggars (probably need replacement) -Aristocrats (active at times, inactive at others)
The league will be fine next season and moving forward. This is just a bump in the road.

Aristocrats has been pretty active. We emailed trades a fair bit leading to the deadline -- I know he's been swamped at work, but I don't know that it's a major concern.
As for 3-4 teams changing hands -- I think that is a concern. That's 1/4 of the league, and we had that same amount last summer. Not exactly a great sign....
I'm not proposing things end, but I think it's tough to say things will be fine going forward with any certainty. Depends on who signs on....

JR has told me he will be active. Aristocrats has been pretty active so there are really just two teams to fill.
It can't get much worse than the inactivity of those two franchises so things should improve. Someone on Dobber is interested and gave me his fantasy background and I'm confident he will be a good addition to the league. Hopefully he joins.

Is the person who contacted you someone we would recognize from the forums?
As for JR, I realize he's your friend, but I'd rather be honest here and let you know that I'm personally not comfortable with it.
From what I read on the forum for your other league, he's been basically MIA for three years. Why would things suddenly change? Not trying to be a jerk, just want to be upfront with my concerns.

I am in for next year if Thunder is in. Frankly, a lot of the inactivity is that I don't want to make moves for the sake of making them, and I did not have a lot of opportunities to leverage this year (plus most of the offers directed at me were sh!t...). I think the offseason and the draft will present some good opportunities and expect I would be active at those times.

Well, I've asked a couple of people but they've decided to pass.

Aristocrats has not gotten back to me so it's safe to assume he won't be returning. So Aristocrats and Renegades are available. I'll make sure that the replacements will be very active.

Aristocrats (Thelonius) has posted in this very thread that he is willing to continue. The vacant teams right for the time being are: Renegades and Ardbeggars.
