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.
My God.... not AOL.
What can we expect? Will we be paying for next year? Will there be more popups? Please let us know what initial changes they have mentioned.
The site will remain free this season for sure. And I'll definitely fight to keep it that way.
There won't be any big changes. The ads will not be any more intrusive than they have been in the past. (Ads are currently disabled by the way--the site is totally ad free, at least for now.)
I won't make any drastic changes without giving you the opportunity to respond.
This is very dissapointing to me in a few ways. As long as everytthing stays the same, Im fine with it and as long as we can still suggest things and actually have them carried out. If we lose free stat tracking and eventually free-ness all together, itll break my heart. I bragged to my friends about how amazing this site was and completely free. If that changes itll kill me

I've decided to sell Fleaflicker to AOL.
