I will continue to operate the site. There will be some minor changes as we integrate with AOL Sports but otherwise everything will remain the same.
Fleaflicker has come a long way in just three and a half years. During that time I was possessed by a single (and often unhealthy) obsession—making the best fantasy football site. My decision to sell was made with this goal in mind.
AOL and I share the same vision for expanding the site. Integrating with AOL sports will improve Fleaflicker immeasurably. (For example, FanHouse blogs provide the most insightful sports commentary on the Internet; their content will ultimately be integrated into Fleaflicker.)
The bottom line is this: I made this decision because I am certain it will improve the game for all Fleaflicker users.
It's a bummer, but chill out on the man people!
I need my rosters too, but demanding this guy to answer is not helping. Let him do his thing.
You only have one other choice. Start over and go elsewhere.
Seems simple to me. Sounds like there was a delay on AOL's part. This Flea dude is working on it. He's one of us. A fantasy freak. I think he's going to get it done and it will work sweet.
I'm going to be patient. Reschedule my drafts if needed. In the time being, I'm trying to hand write rosters(remember with help of the other owners) I'm not even looking into others sites yet. About 2 weeks before week 1, I'll have to make a move if this site isn't up and running.
Then, if it is up and running .... my staying will depend on if our leagues format still works here at the flea. If it does, great. If not I have to find another site, paying or free.
It this site works for our league and is good, We're willing to pay.
I found this site because of the AOL buyout. I think the current site is pretty nice. I've done a few live drafts and this Flea dude is good. I'm already a fan. If our format works here I'll be even a bigger fan. Of the Flea dude.
I personally wasn't all that happy with AOL other than the free part. I welcome the change.
My problem, and I assume a problem of others, is that my league has been around for years. We always do a live draft but we are always very busy. As usual, there were only two days this summer when everyone could get together. Both of those days are fast approaching and we need our rosters to draft (we have keepers and have traded draft picks). If we had the flexibility that you seem to have regarding when our draft could be held, it wouldn't be a problem.
It is funny how all the people telling everyone to chill out has access to their teams. They should be able to chill, they will be able to do whatever they need to do. Us guys from AOL are getting crapped on! Thanks a lot AOL.
Chill yourself out! My league is fast approaching loosing out on 5K worth of trades and transactions due to this delay. I have been taking a piece of that pie for the last 5 seasons, and look good to do so again this year. I'm a bit pissed about the delay. When you are loosing 5K who gives a crap about a $60 fee?
The problem for me isn't the delay it is the lack of communication from the powers that be. AOL dropped the ball by not providing any forewarning but the FleaGods are making it worse by keeping us in the dark.
If we were given timely updates on progress and an ETA we could make the decisions on how to move our leagues forward. I'll bet my bottom dollar that an official "Update" post from the powers that be would quash a lot of the pissing and moaning.
Bottom line is that it is hard to plan things without knowing the timeline and how "firm" that timeline is. And don't give me this BS about they are working to hard to bother updating you...it only took me 2 minutes to post this which is about X-2 lines longer than the post they need to make.
