I'm a little annoyed that we can't get half of the league to vote at each Winter Meetings, but it happens. We all have lives (I hope to God we all do, anyway). I think we need to take a step further beyond posting on a message board and try to conference call or arrange a Google Hangout or Skype or something. By scheduling something hard and making people aware that yes, we can actually talk to and look at each other, it could encourage more participation. Just my two cents.
With that said, I'm looking forward to naming my keepers and maybe going for a first-place finish in this friggin' league.

Got it. I also think a Skype conference is a great idea. Maybe even try to do the first round of the draft that way?

Last year we got a lot more participation, but I don't really know what we can do to force people to be more active. Right now I just want to make sure everyone's returning.

I got your email and voted immediately when the polls were up.
This is because I am new and overly excited to get started.

I got the emails, and I have to admit that I missed the vote. For what it's worth, I have been overloaded with a major outage at work and at the same time, adding a 700 square-foot man cave onto the house. It's been a hellish couple of months, and it's all wrapping up now. So long story, short... I apologize for missing the votes, but I honestly was OK with whatever the majority decides. I promise that it'll be better going forward.
Oh, and don't forget that I am always up for a trade discussion. And my signature pretty much always has my updated players.

That being said, I don't think the way to address non-participation is to create more things for people to participate in. Some people just can't be as active as some of us would like...I get it. I think we're pretty lucky to have a league this involved with as many owners who stay active for as long as we've had it. I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt if they feel like they have to put this league on the backburner for a while.

I agree--I am in a ton of leagues and the involvement is 50%, mostly because it is much of the same people in each of the leagues. I have to tell you that I mentioned this league to my buddy who is obsessed with Leagues and he was amazed that a league like this can be put on especially with so many people living all over the place and not knowing each other. That said, he would love to be in this league.

It's good to hear from you Quattro. I texted CMK (Nellie) and he's in. Busy as everyone.
If you know one of the managers outside the league who hasn't posted yet, talk to them and ask them to check in. With only 9 voters I'm worried about returning all 16 owners for this year. We don't want to find that out when the draft is starting.
Happy Holidays fellas, stay warm.

I'm pretty sure Shannon (Severe Punishment) is still in. We emailed about a trade a few days ago.

I'm not going anywhere. You all know how I am, I disappear for awhile. This time my fiancée and I were surprised by a very unexpected pregnancy, only to have it followed a month later by a miscarriage. She's been dealing with complications since, as well the expected feelings of sadness, so it's been a little tough lately. I know I missed the vote, and had a couple of trade talks break down, but I'll be ready for the draft.

We haven't heard from...
Carl Spackler - Last login December 11th Severe Punishment - Novemebr 16th Bilbo Swagginz - November 22nd Ninja Warriors - December 16th
Those dates look promising, but I still wouldn't mind some verification they are in before we start drafting. Please text or email, etc, one of these guys if you know them outside the league.
Thanks

When I say "annoyed," I realize it's very, very minor. If we have eight or nine out of sixteen teams voting, that number of votes is still higher than other leagues and their participation. The draft is coming pretty soon, gentlemen... Time to pony up.

Welcome to the news owners...
Mack sorry to hear about baby complications, we went through a year of it and it can be really tough. Hang in there pal and Merry Christmas to everyone in the league!

Bunge is the only one to not check in. I sent him another email, has anyone else contacted him? Does anyone have his cell number?

I'm still in. Sorry, Christmas is the busiest time of year at work...don't do much other than that. I usually check out for a while right before keepers are selected...missed the vote though.
