Ditch Fantrax

It is clunky and headed in the wrong direction. It has not improved one bit from the day that we signed up. It is only a matter of time before this site goes belly-up IMO. It feels like we are using a site from 2001.

I used to be a fairly active trader, but now I can't even accept/propose a trade without some illegitimate lineup issue. We have a proposed activity monitoring panel, but this seems like a more logical step. Sure, CBS is not free, but at least it works.

The site is a drag on the league. I don't think anyone would argue with that.

The site works fine, it is all the managers in the league that can't follow the basic rules of the league that have been around forever. Because of that, the league has been set up to be more restrictive so managers can't be running with more than 45 total or 25 active players that way i don't have to check in each and every day to make sure everyone is abiding by the rules.

There is a lot more to it than enforcing rules. There is a ton of bullshit that prevents perfectly legitimate transactions from occurring on a regular basis. We all know this. From waiver claims to trade acceptance, Fantrax is a huge problem. This isn't a manager's problem, it is a horrible site. I never try to get over limits and I run into issues all the time with trades.

If you guys want to live with it for an extra $100 split 20 ways then that is fine, but burying your head in the sand and acting like it isn't a problem is something else entirely.

I am not saying there are not issues with it, but Yahoo and ESPN didn't work at the time (not sure they still do) for our minor league squad. There were issues with CBS which is why we made the change away from that.

I am not sure what updates have happened among the various other sites that would provide all the securities and features we would want that are greater than what Fantrax is currently offering.
