I just realized the "star" symbol I sometimes used for bullet points is no longer allowed in the forums...weird

After further review, looks like I'll be sticking around for a while. All the leagues I'm in will still be in various stages but all will still be in season on July 3rd.

And at this point it would just be hurting good owners who run good leagues that I enjoy being a part of...So, I'll shut up now and go sit over there in the corner and be a good boy. (maybe) :)

46 owners have a paid subscription and what percentage are owners with legacy credits? Probably most!!!

Obviously, I hope everyone chooses to remain in the XFL but that means abandoning other leagues for most.

My 2nd league (Quick and the Dead) was always full or near full until the subscription plan began and now I have 16 owners there since the XFL is my number 1 league.

I firmly believe more and more leagues will fold as owners end up in either the XFL, USFL or one of the few other great leagues in MFN.

The reality is we have enough owners to support only 7-8 leagues if every owner has 1 team.

If we get down to 10 or less total leagues, we should have an MFN tournament of champions. It's obviously impossible but wouldn't it be fun if the USFL Champion San Jose SaberCats played XFL Champs Cincinnati Defenders? With the winner advancing to face the champ of another league.

What’s all the doom and gloom? You guys just need to go look at that new UI. Worth all the money you’ve spent so far. Well thought. Some would say genius perhaps. JDB has got you hooked. You’re all pawns to his money grab.

Subscriptions were at 67 in April. Down to 46 by June. Keep feeding him, I’m sure EVENTUALLY it will be worth it.

You’re not really pawns, that was a joke. Though he does seemingly got a hold on your pocket books. Inflation is not real.

I will give JDB/MFN credit...it's kept me logging in and active for 7 years and I can't name another game/sim that I've played for over a year let alone 7.

The real shame is the lose of any tangible forward momentum for a game that has such promise to become something really special.

I honestly believe if the code was patched to fix speed/physical size/long passing and a "real" phone app was created...this sim could easily attract 100,000 users quickly and continue to grow enough to get sued by the NFL and take JDB bankrupt

Would welcome it wholeheartedly and would cough up the money to subscribe at that point.

Point well taken though. I’m still logging in way too much even with one team. Idk, I could take it or leave it in the end. I probably debate not logging back in monthly because there is a staleness to the game after so many revolutions that UI can’t fix.

I understand its a game, but still to me, its much more!

I've said it before but it worth repeating
...I.will stick around and admin the XFL as long as I'm able until the bitter end...one way or the other!!!

I love what I've built with the XFL along with roughly 100 other owners over the course of the 33+ seasons. I love the history and the story's plus even the controversy
