Couple things I wanted to comment on while I have a bit of time.
First off, I got some more bad BaF news today. Smash has let me know that he is leaning towards bowing out for season five. Assuming he is out that will leave yet another giant hole in the game. Smash has always been one of the most active GM's both with his team and in the discussion thread. He did leave the door open to maybe returning, but as of now, he told me to start looking for a replacement in Portland. Considering we already have definite openings in Brooklyn, Indiana and Milwaukee and I still have not heard from Chicago or Miami, we have a lot of turnover in the league. This is never a good thing, especially considering the fact that we are losing original, long time GM's.
Second, as far as moving forward, I am not saying that I want the game to end. I do enjoy it still but when it becomes clear that we can't keep the game going with the same enthusiasm, it definitely makes me question if its worth all of the time I put into it. If we have a bounce back year and get 5-6 new enthusiastic GM's involved, then there is no reason we can't keep the game going into season six. The potential difficulty of FA plays no part in whether or not the game will continue. I will take a look at potential upgrades to the process when I get some time but I think we can work around that potential pitfall if we have a healthy league at that point.
Finally as far as the gofundme...I did try and withdraw the funds during the season but it said I needed Mecca, the person who started the gofundme, to do something and he had already left the site. I couldn't withdraw the money without him. Honestly, I never feel comfortable about it and just let it go thinking Mecca would be back eventually. Then as the season went on, I just didn't think about it. I sincerely appreciate anyone and everyone who donated no matter the amount. It is appreciated and welcomed even if I wouldn't ask for it.
