No problem, I said I'll leave this thread open for this discussion as long as we keep it civil. Alonso, your opinion is heard and accepted, and others may share it, it is certainly not the consensus. Can we agree that there is a substantial number of managers that don't agree with you? Managers that wouldn't like such radical changes?

We are aware of the user numbers drop. There are choices we made in the past that led to this, choices we're not proud of, of course, but they were made with the best of intentions. There were also some choices we were very proud of. It's easy now to look back and point fingers but at the time, it was impossible to predict the future. While your suggestion to make another, 2x server may (and that's a big may) help with user retention, the reality is, there are just no resources to do that. I can tell you right away that it's not going to be done because there is no one to do it. Sad but true. We have limited resources and we must carefully choose what we do with them, where to point our time and ultimately, funds.

I'm personally very much aware that the app might not be the solution we're all looking for, yet we still need to complete it. Has the main site suffered because we decided to turn our focus to it? Of course, you all felt it, we know it and things only get done here, at the primary point of income, if we spend time working here. That means that we cannot spend time elsewhere. It's a trade-off, as it always is in life. What will these choices amount to, only time will tell.

Very clever idea, I love it!

Since there is an issue with B3, NT and Tournament scheduling we could mantain the 14 weeks per season by making relegation and finals series a best of 7, also 1st and 2nd round of play-offs a bo5 series. The 8th seeded teams could scrimmage each other twice a week until the finals are over without paying salaries, same for the eliminated teams from the play-offs and the play-out teams. That way every team can have at least 2 games for training each week. Maximum amount of games played until a team wins the finals would be 17, right now its 5, that means we are adding 4 extra weeks in the 10 that Joe suggested!

Downside to this would be that offseason would feel very long for 8th seeded teams and eliminated teams in the 1st round of play-offs, but I think its realistic if you consider what's happening in almost every league around the real world with teams either having a deep play-off run in the postseason or getting eliminated early, while the rest of the teams are just having a longer offseason. This would raise competition during the regular season and make tanking a lot less appealing since boredom factor would kick in to managers that would have to play only scrimmages for 4 weeks!

Yeah its true that boredom would be too much but my mini-suggestion is in case Marin agrees to Joe's suggestion but can't find a way to adapt the NT, B3 and Tournament schedule to match the proposed schedule.
