Admin AWOL
October 07, 2015 at 01:17PM View BBCode
Admin hasn't posted here in over 5 months. With just 11 premium leagues and exactly 200 paying owners on the football side, it's clear that they know where their bread is buttered. By no means am I upset, I run a software company and I hear the very same things that I'm saying here from a segment of my clients. It would be nice to be thrown a bone once in a while.[Edited on 10-7-2015 by Youthamizum]

Part of the issue with this forum specifically is that I have a "to-do" list a mile long so new suggestions are already in a position of falling behind many other critical updates. There are elements of my initial design spec that still haven't been implemented; the football side is still very young.
Does that mean I don't want or need suggestions? Of course not! Owner suggestions built this site, quite literally. There are features on both the baseball and football side that neither Tyson or I would have ever put in if it wasn't for owner suggestions, or that we would have prioritized differently.
But I could certainly do a better job of communicating. When I do look at this board, I will often absorb something from a thread without replying, because I may not have anything specific to add, but at least commenting on it would let people know that their idea has been heard.
On the baseball side, we use an external site (IdeaScale) to help collect and prioritize suggestions from owners; however, the site is a little difficult to work with from an administrative point of view so I haven't expanded it to cover football suggestions yet. I'd rather build something here for that, but of course that takes time away from doing actual work on the game environment.
I will work on being more communicative, and more than just "throwing a bone".

It's actually been 5 days since my last post in this forum, but your point is understood; prior to that it has been a while since I have actively participated in conversations here. As you no doubt are aware, we have a very small staff here, and for a long time the complaint was that we were working too much on the football side, not the baseball side. My work recently has been concentrated on support and baseball issues recently, but that does not mean football is forgotten.Part of the issue with this forum specifically is that I have a "to-do" list a mile long so new suggestions are already in a position of falling behind many other critical updates.

Sorry Chris I completely understand and by 5 months I meant the enhancements message board. I definitely understand where you are doing from. We have a small staff and we are pulled in certain directions, there are naturally some areas we can't address.... Believe me, it's the world I'm in as well. Thanks for the clarification

It's been 3 months since the last post in the football enhancements. I'm just going to enjoy the game in its present state and any enhancements beyond that will be gravy.Pages: 1
