  • BLB 4 year anniversary

    I had a feeling the league start date anniversary was coming up soon and it looks like it's going to be 4 years in June: http://simgamingnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82

    I can't believe it's been 4 years already. I always forget this, who are the original owners who are left?

    I think we're down to:

    Andrew
    Jim
    Whale
    BradleyB
    rubisco
    liquid
    Jistic
    Sully (left and came back)
    Z (left and came back)

    9 out of 20 original teams isn't bad. 3/4 expansion teams are original as well if you want to count them.

      And basically, Batavia should count as Matt's.

      The originial owner was gone within a month, right?

          I thought you were too busy with running to have time for the league. I guess you stopped?

            I think I got invited to be an original Owner, but I just wasn't a text guy. Sully swayed me when GIGGAS left. I feel like I'm the original Virginia owner though.

              I definitely remember the GIGGAS days. Sure, he made some dumb moves, but he was a good owner. Very active on the forums, exporting (I believe, at least early on), active pursuing trades, voting, etc.

              My first trade ever was actually with Giggas.

              I sometimes forget that I'm not an original owner. This team started off as the "Yankees." How did you guys let that fly?

                Same here. I actually thought I was signing up for a different type of game...didn't know it was a text sim. Once I found out I was thinking about bailing. I decided to stay on but then almost bailed again when I found out it was fictional (my wife still calls it my 'fake baseball league').

                I'm glad I stuck around...it's been a lot of fun.

                            My girlfriend still asks me about it occasionally.

                            I expect that to stop if we ever get married.

                              My wife doesn't really say much. She just sighs when I fire up the computer.
