you mean the old logo or the uni I posted first

the first one I posted is my own creation, which I made cos the old logo just cant be found anywhere anymore
except a very small picture of the logo, so the first one is the new one.

the second one I posted is the old logo,
very small outdated logo

Mykal, I know you're frustrated, but don't give up just yet! Every league has it's growing pains and once the season starts, I think things will be a lot better.

Hi Mykal,

That's the one!! You did a great job with that one and I liked the mean looking Beaver in the logo.....not that I've met too many mean beavers in my day....

Frustrated dont even begin to describe it Rick

not wanting to discuss the background stuff and just looking at what everyone else see's.

Dispersal draft cut in half with little or no warning
free agents draft stopped after 3 rounds, no limit was set on this, so dont know if that was short or not, but we should have known in advance
Entry draft, nothing was posted about round 5 and 6 and teams started cutting, so maybe I jumped the gun but with the way things have been going what conclusion was I going to jump too.
then there's all the invalid selections being made, with no reason as I kept updating and posting the league DB, if GM's cant be bothered to download it, then I cant be bothered to do it, if you see my point.

whats suprising is : as league president I should have been first to know whats going on, yet Im as much in the dark as everyone else.

Now I realise its all just a bit of fun and should be kept in context
but I picked the VCFL to take part in for its CFL type approach to the league
and the rules which it outlines,
if your going to have a set of rules, then they should at least be followed or its pointless having them in the first place.

So all that said & in the interest of keeping the VCFL a happy place, its long since time I left, its not fun for me to keep having to correct mistake after mistake and it cant be fun for Commish to keep having to listen to my complaining about this or that being wrong either.

I had hoped to help push the VCFL in popularity and assist Commish in getting things done smoothly but we seem to keep having communication problems and things could have run better to say the least,
I've already applied to join MBCFL with my Yellowknife, so will no doubt pop up in there league after there present season has finished and an open slot can be created, there rule set isnt as detailed as the VCFL (which is a small downside) but as long as the rules that are there are followed, Then I can live with that,
I just like to know where I am, not always wondering whats going on, or it aint fun.................and thats the point of it....aint it.

Well i'm certain the VCFL will be around for a long time to come,

The Few minor problems the league is having will soon be ironed out I'm sure
Me and My "Things have to be right" attitude, probarbly came at the wrong time for Commish
with his life pretty much upside down at the moment and so far away from his partner.

I for one would hate to see the VCFL disappear, although like I already said I'm sure it wont happen
although if things were to go on the slide, I'd be more than willing to try and help pull it back up
All things considered, Commish is a very likable guy and try's hard to bring something new and interesting to this game.

VCFL Rock's, I hope it all works out and really turns into kick ass league.

I think it's a combination of factors.
First is the actual number of people who own the game AND actually hang out on the forums. I have no idea what the total number of game owners is, but you would need a large number to own it, and then a good percentage of that who would want to participate in a sim league. In its glory days, there were tons of FBPro leagues, sim and H2H. But, even then, there was a lot of turnover and dead weight. I dont think there are enough people on the forums now, to support very many leagues. Even the few that exist have crossover owners.

Second, I think a lot of people are caught in the "Wait for the next update" groove. Nobody wants to get too involved in this or that because of various bugs...so they just wait and see if the next update will solve the issues.

Third, and this is one of the reasons I ended the NCFL, is the fact that of those owners who do play in online leagues, you get the Hardcore, casual, and rarely there. The hardcore destroy all who challenge, the casual are good owners who just dont have the time or maybe interest in being Bill Walsh. The rarely there, like to join leagues but dont participate much.
It creates an ugly imbalance that will eventually cause turnover, or an end to the league. If the community was larger, the leagues would balance out. There would always be a league for peoples level of interest.
