Semi-Announcement

I made a Build a Franchise WhatsApp Chat Group

By making it a group you shouldn't need to give out any information like cell number or anything.

Will make it a lot nicer and quicker to talk trades, etc

Just click the link and join. Im in the process of setting it all up

Back in the day I revolutionized BAT with the chatroom i made for people to pop in and discuss stuff. Now I wanna do it again by using WhatsApp groups..

They have announcements section too and you can turn off notifications or on. I plan to post all the league news like trades, draft picks, etc.

I'm down to join, but wanted to mention before anyone joins if a Discord is a better idea? My other Sim leagues are all on discord, it's a lot easier to be organized an DM people

Discord a lot smoother process IMO

Penda and Powell great picks. Were at top of my board at 34, and why I decided to trade out. The skeleton key to round 2 is find players with translatable skills and accept any flaws. Those were the two with it for me.

Discord a lot smoother process IMO

WhatsApp still shows numbers in those groups, thats why I deleted the group after testing

Shams: BREAKING Houston Rockets GM starts League-wide Chat to allow for easier, smoother trade process


I made a BAF Discord!

I felt inspired by my old ways, back in the day I made a chatroom for Build a Team and it revolutionized the game at the time to allow for quicker and instant negotiations!

I plan on posting all the league news as well like drafts, trades, etc, you can choose to have roles for each news announcements so you'll only get notifications if you want them.

For you oldheads you might be asking 'What is discord???"

Discord is a free, all-in-one voice and text chat application designed for communities and friends. It allows users to communicate through text, voice, and video, primarily within virtual communities called "servers". These servers are organized into channels for text and voice communication, and users can join them via invite links. Originally popular with gamers, Discord has expanded to encompass various communities and interests.

There is a mobile app, and a PC app, so easily accessible to everyone, giving everyone near-instant access to all the GMs in the server, allowing for a more quick, seamless, easy, trading process for everyone involved.

Bish you will get admin if you choose to join. And if anyone else has discord experience and wants to help get it up and running with everything to help me, let me know!

Little early preview example of the RGM Knicks BAF Discord

I'm kinda busy today but I am working on the bones of the discord right now.
If anyone has discord experience and wants to assist let me know!

This is the draft announcement channel where I will try to post up-to-date draft picks as the come in.

joined!

i remember there was pushback in the past but i think just having a hub where people can talk/chill/discuss trades easier or be updated is nice. shouldn't replace in-thread activity or anything.

Old heads, give discord a chance, its very mainstream and intuitive, all you need to do is grab the app, make an account, and join the server. Don't be intimidated by it. It has a mobile and PC app.

Its very simple and a great resource.
