I am almost did it by the end of the year but I stayed and now I realize that I have to do it. This is not on anyone but myself for needing the time to do other things. So maybe this thread doesn't make much of a sense considering I don't have a team but I just didn't want to go away without saying something considering all the time I spend in here. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to Billy and everyone else that makes the league possible and wish you good luck in the future.

I will also be retiring, for good this time. Sorry ya'll. I don't have the gumption to do this anymore. I gave it a second heave-ho but I hate this now, and if I keep on doing it I will end up hating all of you too.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more sensitive/reactionary group of people.

This is crazy, we shut down reorganized everything, set up a all star series make some trades, start simming again! People use time on going through old box scores for billy bucks and it seems all is well and boom i come back from my 1st round of chemo (yes guys i have stage 1 colon cancer but ill beat it hopefully) and 3 people have quit again. I completely get needing more time and stepping down but we lose half the mavs ownership, are commissioner again, and now paul is leaving to wtf to that Wish you luck with the treatment.I am sure you will beat it

I just don’t have time for this anymore
Every hour I spend trying to understand and argue with someone about some obscure rule is an hour I should be spending on my thesis. I started this league when I delivered pizzas full time and my life has changed a lot since then. Coming here is more stressful than anything else and I have plenty of that. I’m sad if that means this will die, maybe someone else can take it up. League file is available. This is for good this time, I came back because I’m weak and miss my ex, but this is a break up that needs to happen for my sake. Some of us have become good friends through this league, and I know we can keep in touch in other ways. If someone ends up wanting to take 720 over I’d be down to be a GM again one day.
Huge thanks to Allan, Stuff, the former TC, the PAs, the RC, and everyone else who has ever volunteered their time to help run this league, and a big thank you to the 80% of GMs who keep this relatively chore-free. Time to get on that D5 waiting list!

Ill do it i just dont know the computer lingo so if billy is willing to teach me ill run it but im going to have to be taught step by step If billy or someone else is down to teach me cool if not i hope someone else steps up bc this league is a good league with decent guys! We dont all get along or like each other but its still fun!!
In the all-star game simming video starting around 00:05:20 Billy is doing the process. Exporting the league file and changing it to HTML so it can be posted to the forum.
I don't know how good you are with computers, but some basic understanding and code editor is needed. I think someone with bit of programming knowledge could pick it up very easy at least. Not my specialty, but could also try to learn it also.

Minimum requirements - We would need volunteer(s) for sims, website maintenance, & ratings (maybe) with html/coding experience. We could make it to where we use the pre-built ratings starting next year (was it alexnoob?) & don't have any in-season adjustments. I was in a baseball sim that only used preseason projections. Trade Committee could also be changed to something like 6 rejects in 48-72 hours or it is approved. I'm always willing to help with PA work (in-season or off-season).
We either simplify things that can be done by committee or disband.

Think I need to limit my activity to certain days or something or might need to retire again eventually, lol. Just been trying hard the last 2 weeks to help the league with this and that in order to do my part in any way I could. Doubt I can sustain this though. Also, I wont lie. Whenever I am around I can't stop thinking and discussing this multi teams trades that are a big waste of energy. And sometimes I know I should slow down a bit but I can't help myself for the most part.

This league is your drug, the more you use it, the more strung out you become, but before you completely reach your breaking point, you always manage to wing yourself off it somehow.

I already got the recruitment announcement: "Basketball simulation league with 4 years in the marker looking for people interested in 3-ways to take over the following available teams:..."
