First Year..and my last...

Post by Tom Kessenich » Fri Jun 11, 2010 9:57 am

The first two are items Greg and I want our IT crew to make. The third in my opinion isn't a high priority item. If we have it, that's great; if not I think it can be added in the future.



Mark, my opinion is that the site is one that runs well and has come a long way since Week 1 and is more than capable of providing a quality experience for our participants. Again, that doesn't mean it's perfect and we don't want to add improvements. But I don't believe that the items missing should be causing a high level of consternation. If you and others feel differently, that's fine. I'm just stating my opinion as a long-time fantasy player.



The bottom line is you guys are all free to be happy, sad, angry, disenchanted and whatever else you feel. All Greg and I and everyone at Fanball can do is continue working as hard as we can to make this experience the best it can possibly be. I still believe the NFBC is a great event and we have the backend in place to continue providing the same level of quality we have in the past - and then some. If you and others disagree and choose not to return, then we'll all move on. As I said, we've never had 100% retention rate and never will. But I still believe in our event and all we have to offer and will continue working hard to make it remain the showcase event in the fantasy baseball industry.

Come on Tom who are you kidding,Gekko has been a pain in Greg's ass for a long time and i would think you guys would be sick if he even came close to that 100.000 dollars.Calling it as i see it and there is nothing wrong with that. if i've been a "pain" it most certainly involved something going on with rules, commish interpretations, etc...



with a newborn, that's all i really have time for.

[/QUOTE]You've been a pain thinking you are better than the rest of the competition.



How many newborns do you have? Can a newborn crawl? Walk? Talk?



Surely you won't be missed in the nffc.
I could break you, mate, in two pieces over my knees. You know it, I know it.

Hey Mark,



Technically, I don't think your baby qualifies as a newborn anymore. I believe her age group is considered an infant and soon a toddler.



Just trying to help....



Hope baby & parents are doing well.

Glenn glenn - i'm not into the terminology. she's a newborn to me until she turns 1, which is in a couple months. thanks for the well wish

Thanks again,

Matt Anderson Matt - in some ways a newborn is a LOT easier to handle than an infant or toddler. :D
