I think Martinez is hilarious. I think he has been great recently. He is angry, which hasnt changed, but he takes himself far less seriously. Id say Habes is the angry one now. I haven't been angry over, like, anything. You're just remembering one fight when I got mad that a rule was changed.

Sim leagues are a hobby, something I do to unwind when I've got some spare time. That's why I love the NBN so much, because it combines my favourite sport with some great interaction with people that I get along with. I'm sure that's how a lot of you feel about this league.
For me, the NBN is so vastly more enjoyable than this league that I just can't see the need to stick around here any longer.
As for the 1982 league, I find the ratings and concept to be very original. It's a true retro league, and that's why I signed up for it. The activity is poor, but it has much less of a cliquey feel to it than does this league.
I admire those NBN GMs who can happily co-exist with the BBS GMs, but I am not one of them.

Who gives you the cliquey vibe? This league has been relatively quiet and I think if you gave everyone a chance you wouldn't feel like an outsider looking in. Stick it out man I've been waiting a long time for you to get in this league and so have others because I want to play against the best. BBS is kind of like a tootsie roll pop and cancer. Once you get past the hard shell you get down to the sweet goodness and its just like cancer it grows on you.
I think the NBN vs BBS thing died down and to tell you the truth I don't even know who is from NBN. I don't see many cliques but some good bonds and some heated rivalries that people have formed by being in the league. So stick it out man and I guarantee your opinion will change.

Tough to see a great GM like Will go, but at least he's honest and got out when he wasn't enjoying it.

You're really overblowing the cliques. Name them. No one is active anymore, at least not in comparison to what the league used to be. Duce had a reason to quit because of cliques - for you, it really doesn't apply. If you want to leave, that's fine, I honestly don't care either way. But, you were never sticking more than a season and a half if whatever Martinez did to you bothered you that much. That's nothing. Instead of praising your NBN GMs for being able to "happily co-exist with the BBS GMs", praise them for having thick enough skin to take the comments and remain in the league.

And also, Will, I have zero problem with you whatsoever. I had nothing against you prior to coming into the league (there are definitely quotes from me on the forum supporting you prior to you signing up), and I still don't. I'm just speaking on an isolated issue.

I never really had a problem with Will, I just think he strides around the boards with this pompous attitude which I don't mind but if it rubs me the wrong way I will let you get a piece of my mind, nothing to drastic.
Respectfully, just fucking leave. This sensitivity shit is becoming ridiculous and IMO GM's such as yourself hurt this league maybe not from a managerial point of view but from an overall view on the league dynamic. It's because of GM's like yourself who get a couple jab's from individual's with "computer muscles" and whimper back into the corner and throw in the towel.
The reason why this league partially sucks right now and why the first BBS was good was that there was constant fighting. People jabbed at each other time and it was interesting, high octane and most of all generated so much more activity. The NBN vs BBS thing was the best thing that happened to the old BBS whether people agree with it or not.
Now you have GM's such as yourself and certain others who will remain nameless who get black eyes and broken ribs from reading a recent trade post. Spencer, has already sanctioned GM's from berating others because of this ultra-sensitive bullshit. BBS is highly competitive if you want to to be a fucking soccer mom, have fucking book talks while drinking coffee and sing koombayaya with your "mates" maybe NBN is the place where you should be but here in the BBS we like to talk trash, get dirty, and get in other GM's faces.
I strongly suggest when you get to Oxford you should register for these classes.

Haha what did you put mates in quotes? I mean where the fuck are the personalities these days. Krumpinski should rename Johnny Jungle to Johnny Bitch since he went soft on us. Im pretty sure Martinez is the guy from BME Pain Olympics because someone stripped him of his nuts as of late. I am pretty sure I saw Hernando on the back of a milk carton the other day. All the NBN guys have a personality of a rock. The only one who seems to be the same is Haberman and James, but James a different way then the one I am trying to promote. The personality that made BBS special is drowning Help save it?

He quit because he didn't like people. He's a bitch, and he had no place here. Criticized basically everything and got touchy any time something came back at him. Who cares, I'd take ten guys like Martinez before I'd take one Will, and with him gone, the league won't be so touchy anymore, I hope.

I never got the " If you don't cuss or talk about balls and nuts you don't have a personality" routine. Maybe it is just me though.

Jah you never talk about balls and nuts or cuss and if from what I have witnessed from your posts over the last 3 years I would have no idea what to expect if I ever met you in person.
