Free agents who were missing

Now how do we believe is a fair way to award these players. Because they went missing no other teams were able to bid on these players. The only player out of the bunch that was maybe in a bidding war was Holden. There were a couple boardline ones in Seidenberg and Beauchemin in which GMs may have wanted another shot at. Let me know what you guys all think.

I was interested in making another bid on Holden (I think the last was $2.4ish from izaman). The bug has definitely skewed things and I am more than willing to walk away from it if it makes resolution easier. If we can know what the last bids were my vote is to roll with it. Lock them in place and just move forward. Otherwise we'd need to reset on the nine players in question.

All players have returned to the boards now but I had to move some to the waivers so that the threads could repopulate. The problem appears to be with threads once they reach the 2nd page and therefore are invisible.

I am in favor of resetting all of free agency. I'm sure there might have been bids made that would not have been made had it were not for the issue.

Speaking of the issue, are we going to see a resolution to the disappearing forum problem? And if so, how long will it take. Honestly, what's the point in trying to make this work if the forums are going to keep disappearing.

Well I am not a fan of a complete restart as there were many players won already that definitely weren't affected, ie. anything that was already stickied. Restarting free agency also gives an unfair advantage as teams will now know how much someone was willing to go, who they are targetting, who to increase the bids on, etc. Most of the stickied ones are all fine, other than the ones I did today trying to fix the disappearing problem. I think currently we would have to award all players that were stickied, prior to this morning, and completely restart the clock on all other players. So all players mentioned above would be available for bids as well as all other free agents starting with new 48 hour clocks. We could also allow the current leader for each player to walk or remain as they may have started bidding on someone else because they thought their player was gone.

As for the problem itself, Colby is working hard to get it resolved as quickly as possible. I don't see this being a week long thing before it is fixed but could possibly be fixed within a few hours.

There were only 3 players stickied (2 of which I won) before the disappearing acts started. So if we give all players a new clock, it'll be like we are restarting free agency anyway.

Moved all players and transactions that were won without problems, disappearing to waivers. These players I believe should be won and awarded contracts by their respective teams.

Kind of but the bids will remain, just the clock will restart.

Got cha. I have no problem with that then.
