As some of you know a few of us in the office (Mac, imthegenius and I) and a bunch of users (Farva, Yank, Mono, Hakik, Thaddeus to name a few) have been playing Fantasy Football and Fantasy Baseball for the past few years. Now our friends over at Draftstreet have created an exclusive Fantasy Basketball experience for us.
So, it's free for us to use and there are REAL CASH PRIZES. We're doing a one day contest on March 2 with a prize pool of 200 bucks that's split up between the top 6 places. ($75, $45, $35, $25, $15, $10)
It's a salary-cap style contest where the value of each of the players is determined by their projected stats for the game. For instance, Lebron James has the highest price tag at $22,266 while Kris Humphries is only at $15,050. You start with $100,000 budget and have to build a team with 2 forwards, 2 ... Read more ...
I just wanted to share this with you in these trying times since our Dear Leader has left us.
Not only was he a brilliant architect, genius on the golf course, magnificent swiller of Hennessy, fearless leader who brought the greatest superpowers of the world to their knees ... he was also a sensitive and caring lover.
R.I.P. Little Big Man.
Hey guys, as some of you have noticed we have changed the value of the eBones prizes by 50% (unlike the 100% that is wildly being reported).
We love the eBones system and the fact that users get paid to upload, but at the previous rate it was unsustainable. So ultimately we had two options A) Adjust the current system or B) Get rid of the system entirely.
I'm sure that you'll all agree that keeping an adjusted system is better than nothing at all.
We do apologize for any and all frustration and I'm available to discuss any concerns.
Firstly, I'd like to address the situation that we've encountered in the blog section of late (and on the comment boards) regarding the dissemination of personal information. It is now and has always been against the rules of the site to spread the personal information of any other user on the site. First offenses will result in a comment and upload ban. Subsequent offenses will lead to account locking or removal. This has become a real problem as to try to avoid a snow ball effect there will be no exceptions to this rule.
Secondly, with regards to the slew of blogs recently about proper modding and the suggestions posed by users such as Rednote, I'd like to point out a few things. It is not news to us that the blog section isn't what it used to be. When the site split during the transition of staff, we lost a lot of the community, and if not most of our writers, definitely most of our audience.
The problem with the wild suggestions ... Read more ...
So we got on the ol' horn with Zuckerbear and tried to sort the whole thing out. We thought, maybe it's because of how some of the videos are of questionable content. I mean, do they really want Scissor Fetish video on Facebook? Do they really want a few of the racier pictures in Hakik's Sexy Day or any of FAP?
Maybe it was the occasional racist comment that someone makes on a feature regarding what fast food chain that particular person may prefer or how that kid regardless of everyone's best intentions is destined to a life of crime.
Maybe it was our growing fascination with Travis since he was recently crowned our TSAR. Our open appreciation of him and his gang could put us in low moral standings with just about anyone. Facebook? Definitely.
Perhaps it was ... Read more ...
