I think these teams need to be discussed as possible replacements. Let's reach out and try to get a feel for where these guys are at.

Chicago actually has an owner? Does he export or make FA moves, etc..?

As I posted in the regular thread, how are we measuring activity?
He exports a lot during the season, not sure what his off-season looked like.
He does not make FA moves or trades very often.

Hard to tell someone they can no longer be part of the league if they export regularly...even though we've had good luck recently, finding replacement owners doesn't always work out.

yeah, fuck that. If a guy isn't actively causing corey more work or tells us he is quitting we should not get rid of them!

We have had what? 4-5 guys picked up randomly? I had to search reddit/ootp and talk probably 25 guys to see if they'd be a fit. Then I have had SEVENTEEN take over a team at one point or another. 13 of those quit and probably 10 without saying a word.

The longer you are in the league, the better, you become invested. With the exception of 2-3 teams. Every team that has become open and replaced recently was previously owned by someone that was new. The less time you have in the league, the more likely you are to leave it. We should not be replacing people just because we don't say they are active enough. The odds that the person we bring in being any better isn't likely.

People don't like me because nobody really understands my posts.

You on the other hand are easily becoming unlikable

What?? I have never heard anyone say they don't like you and if saying guys that don't keep up with their team should get replaced means I am not liked well alright buddy, I guess I'll survive.
