Shout Out to Orren (SiteWolf)

[ProneEisenrott]

Orren,

You deserve a million thanks for keeping this site running and fun for us all of these years (20+ running!)

On rare occasions, like yesterday, where there was a glitch with the site (regardless of whose "fault" it was), you man up an let everyone know what is going on. Plus, you handle the solution in a professional manner that is fair to everyone.

I can't thank you enough for the great game and the literally thousands of hours of fun that you have provided for me and others here.

Thanks and God bless!
Prone

And I thank you!

I used to question my sanity on a daily basis...I no longer bother, it's gone

I see it in sports, I see it at work, I probably used to do it myself....ya screw up, ya point yer finger elsewhere and say 'yeah, but'...it lacks integrity. I do more things than you guys even know about...like waking up at 3am while in Hawaii to do stats, because the window for me to use my spreads falls in those wee hours (did I mention sanity?)...some suggested I shut this place down while gone...nah!

....but when I screw up, my first thought is ALWAYS...what's the most fair for YOU guys. Remember, I used to be on YOUR side of this when I played at WSS...and despised it when their way of doing things seemed more for their benefit or their communications were crap

I keep going for two reasons- 1) For the most part I still get enjoyment out of it and 2) I'm too stubborn to give up the idea that some day something will happen that allows us to finally resemble the site I always wanted this to be...monthly competitions with so many players we need tiers, vibrantly active forums, personalized competitions with your friends, etc etc...

But life gets in the way, too...busy new job (well new last April) at the Boys and Girls Club that's only getting busier and includes a 20 mile daily commute (until I can finally find a place closer to move to because it was only official last month that the job will continue...I was covering for someone deployed originally).

Last year I thought I'd found a group willing to partner up here- not invest in money, but in programming time. Part of the deal was them wanting me to use what we do here to create something for one of their sites- create a cross-sport valuation system to determine which players were the most valuable in a given week. I did that, but got frustrated when they said they couldn't commit programming time until after the NFL season started...and haven't talked to them since....the very least they owe me is the same number of hours I spent working on their project.......my bad for not reinitiating.

I'm glad people are still enjoying the game, even despite the limitations here because we've not been able to update the site, and despite my brain farts.
