If anyone hadn't noticed yet (which they may not have), dudex3 has decided to leave the league, and has asked me (Jason) to take over as commissioner. He has given me the commissioner powers over at Yahoo, as well as the Admin account here at the Proboards page.
Priority #1 right now is to get a new owner for his team, so I'm open to suggestions on how we go about that. Maybe we ask one of the other writers that hasn't joined the league already?
I cannot begin to enter rosters until we get this solved, so it's a top priority to have this done either by Friday during the day or by Monday (I'm out of town this weekend for the wife's birthday and won't be able to enter the rosters after Friday until Tuesday of next week.
Thoughts?

I will get the word out, but I think including another Fake Teams writer is an excellent idea. Someone who has the time to devote, obviously, but one of the new baseball writers would be great; they have all been publishing great articles lately.

I also have a feeling that TJ (Carl Winslows) may be out of the league. He hasn't posted his roster here, he hasn't joined the Yahoo league, even after I've emailed him and Ray has texted him about it, so we may have another team available, but we would, of course, want to give TJ every opportunity to stay with us if he wants to.

On a largely related note to dudex3 dropping out, for the good of the league can we institute a blanket policy banning conversations about politics and religion? I understand some people get passionate about these topics, but what always starts-out as a civil debate ultimately deteriorates to name-calling and other things (not by dudex3, but by another league owner). Can we just keep this league light and fun please?

We'll work on the not allowed conversations after I get back from my vacation, but I wouldn't have any particular issue with that. We're here to play fantasy baseball. I wouldn't have an issue with allowing it as well, but trying to do a better job of restricting it also.
In other news, I found another owner to take over the Blue Jays, and he should be signing up shortly at both sites.

Is that why he left? I haven't been keeping up with all of the OT stuff.

I think it had more to do with a thread over at the actual Fake Teams site in which pretty much everyone, including Ray, told him he was being an obnoxious, arrogant dick. At least the timing seems to indicate that, as he split from here just after that thread exploded in his face.

No need to rehash. It's done with. It's really a shame that he decided to take the "Screw you guys, I'm going home" tack on this, since he's clearly a smart guy who knows a lot about baseball, but the attitude problem just took over, I guess.

Definitely a shame. He's way too arrogant for his own good. He was an okay guy, knew a ton about ball, but was unwilling to settle down or admit defeat ever.

Just read it, so lets stop the talk of Dude3 especially since hes gone, and focus on getting everyone on the yahoo site, also guys, I want to make it clear that all transactions must go through proboards, if you add a player, complete a trade, drop a player, you will not be given the benefit of the doubt and will be assessed penalties in a lose of draft picks.
Also I ask again that everyone send me a copy of your roster so that we can put a spreadsheet together and give it out to everyone, I think I'd be really helpful and it doesn't take too long to get done. Last time I asked I only got one.
