Recent events have let me to look at the chatter on a lot of worlds waiting to fill.
This site has been in business for 15 years. By now, just about everybody that thinks this product sucks has moved on. WIFS is essentially a captive audience, with revenue that's enough to support it, but not enough to invest in upgrades (don't believe me? do $25 X 32 owners times 150 worlds times 3 seasons a year, and tell me whether you'd even hire one full time programmer to do upgrades if you owned the business)
Further, from day 1, this site has relied on the users to promote the product. Start a league. Fill a league. Run a league. Do it well, and people will come back to the next league you run.
Thus, it amuses me to see
- WIFS should invest more in upgrades to HBD. Yes, people have and continue to play the same game for 8 years. They come flocking from everywhere if we have an Arizona fall league
- WIFS should reduce the price. Yes. It's been $25 for 8 years. Let's reduce the price.
- WIFS opened too many leagues and now it's impossible to fill. No, because there are leagues that have rolled, filled, rolled again, filled again in the time you've been waiting
People, do yourself a favour. Research. When do successful leagues advertise for next season? What league rules are successful in retaining people? What owners kill a league, and should be avoided?
If your commissioner is taking in his or her $5 and not doing the work to recruit, that's on your league. No one else.
