Irrelevant. Start a thread for that. Deal with the subject of this thread in this thread. If you can't deal with it you can always just redline.

I gotta get to work, see ya later. Thanks.

Asked and answered, counselor: "Some individuals move to healthier leagues, some leave, (mainly the ones who quit at the first sign of difficulty)."

You may speculate that somehow playing in the dying worlds contaminated the owners so badly that they become Typhoid Mary's, infecting more and more worlds. Fine, that's your speculation. But there's simply no evidence of that. However, noobs learn to play the game better and better by learning from good coaches all the time, witness the Mentor threads. That is not speculation.

I will speculate that the lesser owners are the ones more apt to leave, and the better owners are the ones more apt to stay. One speculation is as good as another.

That's fine. You're speculating that closing worlds helps. So far, the facts state otherwise. You go ahead and speculate. I'll stick with the facts.

I did start a thread, *******. You're posting in it.

Doing something that doesn't nothing to eliminate a problem is just a knee-jerk response designed to make folks feel better.

Closing worlds is that knee-jerk.

No, I want you to explain how you know this will happen.

NOTHING good(or bad) happened when one world was shut down. Why do you think something good(or bad) will happen if they shut down more?



And next time, before you tuck your tail and run, answer the questions.

Fact 1) Five fading leagues are gone. Agreed

Fact 2) Some individuals move to healthier leagues, some leave. Agreed

Fact 3) Five fewer fading leagues remain to trap unsuspecting noobs. Agreed - these owners are now trapping unsuspecting owners in leagues that used to be healthy. Then Fact 2 becomes a factor for average owners in a formerly healthy league that is now a bad league. So you're losing people by closing the league and you're losing more people by having the predators stick around to pollute healthy leagues. Good job.

Fact 4) Future rollovers don't take quite as long. Not a fact, an opinion.

Deal with it. Making up dreck like "I just know it!" just shows you have no facts to bring to the table, so you fling dreck against the wall. Hartjh is impressed, I'm not. The only thing mike does that impresses me is make the playoffs at an amazing rate and never, ever winning a championship. That is impressive.

Jeez. I'm arguing with a friggin' idiot with a HBD record of 53-109. Yeah, you know what's best for HBD. I'm sure you gathered a lot of info in your 1 miserable season.

There you are, Mike. TTFN.

1. No ****.
2. Prove it.
3. Unsuspecting n00bs aren't signing up for worlds with 15 openings. In fact, no one is. That's why it has 15 openings.
4. Prove it.

You made on point. Closing worlds will lead to less worlds. Excellent point. The rest is bullshit. Here's a hint: Facts are only facts if they're proven or you can prove them.

There you are, Mike. I know I have no idea what I'm talking about, but there will be 5 fewer leagues. That's a fact Jack

It is hard to dispute that there will be 5 less worlds if WifS shuts down 5 worlds. I'll admit that.

And if it's the sickest worlds that are gone, the game is that much healthier. I'll admit that.

And if hart has nothing more to say he'll just manipulate old posts, that's a fact jack, I'll admit that.

How so?

A sick world, isolated, isn't infecting anyone.
