The IBC
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 4:36 pm
I'm sitting at work today, checking up on some other leagues that I'm in, and once I'm finished I swing by the IBC website. And, as I looked at our site, for some reason it hit me again just how much it kicks ass. It's so professional, with so many cool features, it's hard to believe it was all created by one guy. So, first, once again, let me say thanks to Shawn. It's fucking incredible man.
Next, I'd just like to point out to everyone, though I'm sure you already know it, how awesome this league is. I genuinely believe it's the best of it's kind. We're about to finish our SIXTH SEASON (Shut up). That's an eternity in simulation baseball years. We're on our way to a whole decade of us yelling and bitching at each other, and thats pretty fucking cool.
I guess it's all the lameness and drama from my other leagues that made me realize just how sweet this one is. So, props to all of us for being a part of it. It blows my mind that we can't fill some of these GM slots permanently. Guys should be begging to join. The league is that good.
Anyway, I wanted to throw out a couple of suggestions before I shut up. First, remember when we used to do a power poll? It was a pain in the ass because everyone had to email in their lists and then someone had to do all the points and shit and put them in order. I'm wondering if there's a way to do it through OOPSS now, and let GMs vote through the website and let the poll-program do the work. That would be cool.
Second, what if we added some kind of blog feature to the website. I know a lot of us like to rant and rave and just talk baseball in general. We could write about the league, mlb, whatever. They could be fun to read for those of us who might want to do them. Could stir up some activity and some rivalry and had a whole new element to the league.
Anyway, these are just some ideas that I thought would be cool. The whole point of this post was just to point out that despite the recent surge in arguments, this league still kicks some major ass.
