There have been too many problems lately and after many years here I sadly say I may have to take my leagues to another site.
Opening week and the site was down on Thursday and now today on Sunday. I got multiple text and AIM messages from team owners that could not make team adjustments.

To all members new and old:
My name is Rick and I'm FF's first (and only) HOF member. The past 2 weeks have been unreal for most of you but please keep in mind a few things. 1- FF was started by Ori as a "ALT" to the big boy sites carry fantasy football. 2- When AOL bought it, alot of us "VET" players were excited as our site was going mainstream. 3- When the bottom fell out of AOL, FF was on the chopping block guys!! 4. Ori bought back FF from AOL to save his baby and to make alot of us members happy. 5. Because FF isn't on AOL anymore, it's on a different server, this server had to be tested and only DURING the season. 5. The server failed under pressure, new one in place and another bug happened. 6. Finally, FF bottom line is still the best with customer service, if this happened on other sites, you wouldn't even get a sorry from them!!
I know I recruited alot of you "NEW" members and your really upset, but please hang in there, this isn't FF for sure and Ori DOES take every bug very seriously as it effects him personally. FF is his baby and needs everyones support through this bad time!!
Fleaflicker had our waiver priorities wrong so i changed them manually. Today, instead of first come first serve at 8am waivers will go through on Thursday. Our league setting is set for "first come first served." WHATS GOING ON FLEAFLICKER???
We're working to bring the correct stats back ASAP. Connections are dropping sporadically now and our engineers are working to bring everything back up as quickly as possible.
Yeah this is ridiculous. I just moved a league from ESPN over here because of minor problems we had with them, but this is far worse. Both weekends now I've had my owners complaining, "why did we move to Fleaflicker?!" and "Fleaflicker sucks!"
Looks like we might be moving right back to ESPN. Nice work, Fleaflicker.
Last week we were told that they were getting new servers. If they installed them is the problem software related and not hardware. If they haven't replaced them why not and when do they expect to?
Some answers at this point would be appropriate I think.
I would like to know from FleaFlicker when they expect to have the problem fixed. They obviously did not fix it since last weekend. How may weeks are we supposed to excuse this?
