Re: Congrats Saint-Louis
« on: July 07, 2018, 07:58:13 PM »
I think this is as fine a thread as any to announce my retirement from the Back Yard. I'd like to extend heartfelt appreciation to Drew for being an exemplary Commissioner. That's no easy thing to do in cyberspace! All the best to you and yours, and may the Back Yard live on.

For the rest of the gang that put up with my countless invitations to trade, I say 'cheers'.

I'm gonna drop as well. I got a lot going on with school at the moment, and it wouldn't be fair to have a team I can't run properly.

Is this leaugue still alive with all the numerous GM retirements and Drew less and less present for various reasons?

If this league is dying we should know so we could focus on others

With Ian stepping in as new Commish, I will stay on as GM of St. Louis.
