and why is it that important that you tell the world about receiving it? does it really influence your day that much?

I've never received an invite. I feel like Cincinnati and UConn, the "Left Behinders" from the Big East.  Cincinnati is, for all essential purposes, back in Conference USA.  UConn, without Jim Calhoun and the Big East, may soon be at the level of Fordham and St. Bonaventure.

that gets a email from jetsrok68 twice a day wanting me to join a conference?

O boy, I send you three site mails and you **** your pants. It's called deleting them.

Who the Hell cares! This is not that big of a deal and I doubt its every day.

I don't blame jjohn for posting about this...it's incredibly annoying and people can see your pitch just fine in the forums.  If people aren't joining, it's not because they didn't see it, so tuck your tail and move on.

Take it like every single other coach does - as a compliment that someone wants you to join their conference.  Here, you can even copy and paste this if anyone else should have the audacity to try recruiting you: "I really appreciate the offer, but I'm all set.  Thanks and good luck!" 

That actually required less work than going to the forums to create a post.

Who's to say that he isn't just mass sitemailing people to get them to fill the conference though?  I usually get mass sitemailed about some simleague baseball or basketball stuff, and I only ever played 4 seasons of the MLB sim here...that's just pathetic.

If he's doing this...

I invite you to join MLB105291; which includes 6/2 AA AAA (real names), DH, WW, & trades. There are 9 openings.


...he should stop...

And to that I say - Who cares?  Not everything has to turn into an issue.

If he wants to post about jetsrok being a chooch, that's his right...if you don't like it, don't read it and move on.

I have sent SMs to folks before about openings, but I really try to avoid spam. I send personal messages and try to only recruit people that might (for all I know) have some reason to join the conference. It's a hard line to walk to recruit without being a bother. 

I didn't read this thread.
