That I have offers or attempts at offers out for months without a response. Tell me “fuck off” or “leave me alone” at least.
If this league doesn’t change as far as activity, and I’m talking bare fucking minimum like responding to messages, i say two things are an absolute must this off season:
1) switching over to an app like Discord or Slack. Everyone here has smart phones so it’s one extra free app to use for this league. It won’t kill anyone here and it ONLY bring benefits
2) serious house cleaning, sorry. I know I might be the resident asshole here by bringing it up but this sucks if there’s 7 active gms in a league of 26. If you don’t have time, please resign. Sths is actually a fairly healthy and stable community, there’s people who would kill for your teams.
/rant carry on with your days

Yeah there are a lot of people out there looking to be a part of a healthy sim league, it took me forever just to find one and I'm glad I am here.
I think trading right now is only between a few teams which is fine. but it seems like now more than ever people are content with building their teams other ways and not wanting to trade their players.
Also this is a personal thing, but I am more willing to talk trades with GMs who have given me fair deals in the past and are open to negotiation. GMs who continuously give me bad offers I am more than happy to put my foot down and not trade with them

Getting a discord could be a cool idea, would likely kill this message board as nearly a direct replacement except for probably FA and maybe trades.
If you have some notorious people who don't respond I'd be curious to see some screenshots of those messages (more-so to remove any here-say than anything else) and see if we have repeat offenders and check that against their general activity in the league.
There really is no reason not to at least politely decline an offer you aren't interested in talking about.

Eug mentioned the Discord idea to me too and I think it's a great idea.

Discord is a glorified forum bored basically. Same idea, we have different pages for different things, it can be accessed on mobile, and you can even have voice chat channels. It really is the same thing now that I am typing this out, except the channels are more of a text channel.... discord.com/

I will continue to answer here and I use phone most times on here. Both pages are always open in browser on both phone and computer.
Just answer message guys. Say fuck off, yes or better yet counter or say I will check then say fuck off with offer. I hear that all the time. Lol

Discord is used heavily in the realm of gaming for voice communications. If you have a computer and a headset (hell you could even use your phone if you wanted), we could ALL get in a chat room together and talk (with our voices). Its pretty user friendly, using it is free, but I believe there is a cost to setup a server.

Hey Gavin/guys, I use Discord for gaming with my friends. Very fun and easy to use. I just tried to create a server, and it did not cost me anything. If anyone would like to join, here is the link. It is worth a try. discord.gg/s5q94DRWWe can do both voice and text messages with it.

Lol same here, Coach we had tried Whatsapp couple seasons ago for several of us, but interest soon faded... not sure I have time/interest to learn and use another product such as Discord (and i usually like trying new things like this)

Discord could be a full out replacement for this board and has better communication features, in turn could help with timing for drafts and being able to answer messages sooner, since yu get notifications on your phone. I totally get the hesitancy to change though. theres nothing wrong with the system as it is. just may be a good idea to help increase activity. idk how big of an undertaking / adjustment that would be for others though and for Jon and Gavin.

Not sure a different platform will change peoples behavior. I can see people have been on here but still dont reply. And notifications are on/off setting that some just wont enable. Same boat different dock
