Adjustment to Forum Usage

[Montreal Canadiens (Tyler)]

Adjustments to forum usage: I'm sure some of you don't like the forums particularly much and don't see the point to them. I would have to respectfully disagree. I think the forums can serve many purposes that are useful to the the league, and to me personally in running it. It's good for discussions like this, it's good for keeping records (buyout penalties, trades, old drafts) and can hold the rules and any amendments we make to it. It gives us a place to hold the Entry Drafts and I think it's good for trade blocks. Yes Fantrax has a rudimentary system for setting up a trade block but at least on the forums you can be a bit more descriptive - list what you are looking for in return, maybe tier your guys based on how you value them or how much you're looking to get rid of them, etc. However, what the forum DOESN'T need to be used for is keeping a record of your roster, free agent adds or waiver claims, as Fantrax can take care of all of these things.

Lastly regarding the forums - if everyone could go on there and add their Kik username to the Contacts thread so any new GMs we add can find you guys easily if they need to would be greatly appreciated.

nothing against having a board, but proboards is probably the most annoying one i've encountered always asking for a captcha

To help with that if you set the boards to 'Remember Me' I believe you can avoid that step. I haven't had to input a captcha since I started the boards up. Although if you use multiple new devices (like at work or something) I can see how that would get annoying.
