Please note we need to be respective towards everyone both in the forums and site mail. In general I try to warn people if they are crossing the line. But some behavior is just intolerable and can result in immediate action. Thanks, Steve

After saying that, I would like to say thank you for making this game and for being here monitoring things and running the game. You answer questions on the forum and in private. You do updates to the game and make changes based on what the community suggests and wants and more. That is a rarity these days and you do if for no pay at all. I say this because I appreciate your efforts, plus I have been in other online browser games (not so much the sports management ones) where the owner / admin is nasty to the players. He does nothing at all to control cheaters (which he denies even exist) in the game all the while taking donations from the players. I no longer go there. As a suggestion, maybe you should create a way so that players (that might want to) could donate a few bucks to maybe help you out with paying server fees and to just show that they appreciate all of your efforts... Again, thank you Steve for everything that you do here. Anyone that is abusive towards you deserves to be kicked and have their ip blocked so that they can't come back...

First, when people start paying for something, then they start feeling entitled to something (maybe appropriately). But attitudes then change. And second, I'm not sure I really want to start worrying about having to figure out the income and cost of the site in case in would result in some taxes liability. I'm happy with this just being a labor of love. Enjoy the game. Steve
