If someone takes it on, I would stay on. Hell my wife says I have been retired fir years but really thinking I am there now and could use this, if it continue with others.
Besides who the hell am I going to talk and make trades. Help me to not be bored in retirement plus next my wife wants to move to Asheville, NC and I may have to go on hikes and shit. Bail me out someone or a few someone's.
Thank you for doing this for so long!Ā I have been waiting for last few years for you to write this message to us, but you kept on going. 18 years in same league is amazing, there is noting I have done for 18 years or more other been sober for almost 35 years. You, Gavin and other guys who came in and helped in so many ways did an amazing job and really in 18 years we really never had any big problems and that is due to leadership and the amazing people you recruited for league.Ā I started on Jan 22nd in 2004 and I was 46 now I can reverse that number to 64.Ā I virtually watch guys grow up form teens to young men and met some and made friends with some amazing people and hope to stayed connected.Ā My email is rongiovanni@gmail.com if you want to stay connected guys! Reach out anytime!
Wish you good luck in all you do pal and good luck to everyone else in this amazing league and amazing people!
Unfortunately after 18-years I've decided that I don't really have it in me anymore to run the league. This is something I've been seriously contemplating for the last 3-4 seasons, and honestly the only reason this decision didn't come sooner is because of the weight it carries knowing that my decision directly impacts 25 other people.
I was really hoping that a little break would change my mind, and there is nothing I wanted more than to get motivated to keep things going, unfortunately it just never happened. I really wish I had some big elaborate reason behind the decision, but really I just have no desire to do it anymore, I don't know how else to say it.
From the bottom of my heart I sincerely can't thank each and everyone one of you enough for all that you have put into the league. Whether you have been here from the start or only for a season or two, I genuinely appreciate everything that everyone has contributed over the last 18-years!
Please trust me when I say that this was not even close to being an easy decision. I probably wrote and re-wrote this post at least 5 times, not to mention all the times I was going to post and then decided against it because I was really hoping something would change in my mind, but unfortunately the time has come.
If anyone wanted to take over the league and run it themselves I would not be opposed to that at all. However there is no way to sugarcoat how much time, energy and commitment that would be needed to be put in. The offseason tasks alone from start to finish probably require about 10-15 hours of work, at an absolute bare minimum.
You would also need to be familiar with excel to gather stats for the ratings, html coding to update the website and know how to use an ftp transfer program, knowledge of photoshop if you wanted to continue with divisional banners and trophies for clubhouses, learning the ins-and-outs of the sim, purchase hosting and takeover the league domain. There is so much more and a lot more day-to-day tasks involved, but that is just quickly off the top of my head. But if someone wanted to try then I would gladly supply the sim program and all files etc. that would be needed.
Again I sincerely thank you all for the time and dedication you've put into the league over the last 18-years, it's been awesome!!! Thank you to each and every single one of you!!!

Hey guys, first let me apologize for the lack of updates. Things have been a bit crazy for me lately and I wanted to take some time off to reflect before I made this announcement.
