this is my point exactly nick.....an important league issue like this and there has only been 14 votes....is that enough activity? I'm not trying to tell you how to run your league by any means but I just think people need to be accountable for more in this league than just sending in lines You're judging responses on the forum. I'm sure iI emailed this question, 28 or 29 responses would come back. Some people, for better or worse, just do not like using or signing up for a forum.

GM Duties
Each GM is responsibility for maintaining a legal lineup and sending in lines at least once every two weeks. Each GM must send lines using the GMEditor, which can be downloaded from the FHLSim website. All lines are sent to ecfhllines@gmail.com.
GMs are required to register to the league forum and be an active participant. The forum is used to post transactions, rumors, available players and discuss league/non-league matters.

But Nick The second responsibility of all GM's are to use the forum. This is in your league rules. I'm thinking this is a very important part of being a GM in your league "GMs are required to register to the league forum and be an active participant. The forum is used to post transactions, rumors, available players and discuss league/non-league matters."Realize everyone have a life besides being a GM in any fantasy hockey league. When I asked to be a GM in the ECFHL I was going to give your league my honest effect. Sending lines every 2 weeks isn't being active. Every GM should be able to find 5 minutes in their day to be active in the ECFHL. This isn't too much to be asked for from all the GM's. Considering we all know and thanks you for all the time that is put in the ECFHL by you. It takes the effort from all GM's to make it the best league out there.

I'm not calling for the immediate replacement of several of the gms or anything I'm just stating that expansion is definitely not needed at this point.

Guys,
Can we chill? I mean we had complaining about A LOT of stuff so far in Season 1. Everyone complaining about this and that is driving the fun right out of the league. I agree with Nick that just because people aren't on the board every single day and posting something every single day, they should not be fired as the GM.
If you have an issue with a GM, email Nick or myself. We will monitor it from there.

I don't think this is complaining though. It was an important matter that we had to vote on. I'm not complaining about anything. Whether the league expands or not I'm not quitting anytime soon. Yes, there has been plenty of bellyaching this year but I think this thread is more of a "why we don't want to expand" type of thread instead of us just voting and not saying anything in return as to why or why not.

I've had a forum for every league I've run for over 10 years. No matter how many times I tell people, replace people or threaten people, we will never EVER get 100% full participation in a league forum. We're going to run out of people if I start replacing 6-7 GMs a year. It's pretty easy for me to understand why the boards have gone quiet a bit lately after the trade deadline. Also, not naming names, but some of the GMs on this forum aren't the best at keeping their opinions about others respectable. I've posted league stuff and had some GMs email me their responses because they don't want to deal with the crap that goes on in here sometimes.
This wasn't meant to be a black and white vote on expansion. I was simply seeing who would be interested in ever expanding.
