If I didn't have a 50 to 60 hour per week job, if I didn't want to do BN, the Brickyard and SOI (more than ten hours per week between them), and if I didn't care if my wife hated me, there's no way I would quit.
The league could become the most exciting thing ever and I'd still feel I had to leave. Twenty minutes per week may not sound like a lot, but when it comes up behind the other priorities, sometimes you've got to cut something (and when I was really into CSFBL, I spent more like a few hours per week on it - and that's part of what made it so much fun).
It isn't my intention to hurt the league, I just wanted to be honest. It's the time and energy. I just don't have it. Hell, I haven't sat down and played a video game in half a year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't feel that way. I made an assumption.
I assumed rather than having the biggest CSFBL guy in terms of interest say he's not interested anymore (and basically driving a nail in it's coffin), you just said you didn't have enough time. Nothing malicious about it.
All I was trying to say is if you felt that giving up the league because you lost interest was wrong in any way, that you shouldn't feel that way. If you lose interest nobody's gonna hold you accountable for leaving.
Now, if you're telling me straight up that you litereally can't squeeze in 5-10 minutes on a Sunday evening to check your team, then I believe you. I just find it interesting that you're the type of person that is bogged down with all this stuff and then you take on a major project like Bleacher Nation to bog you down more. I can't even imagine how much time you commit to each of those sites on a weekly basis. I'm not saying CSFBL should take priority over any of those things in your life, but it's hard for my mind to pick up the concept that 20 minutes out of a 10,080 minute week cannot be put towards something you love so much.
Let me reiterate: As hard as it is for me to imagine, if you're telling me that those 20 minutes are not flexible in any way shape or form, I will of course believe you Ace.
