I actually agree with every one of your ideas. The trade thing may be a problem but there have been other suggestions on the forum to lessen the trade approval burden on Mike. I'd love for the game to get back to where it was 5 years ago when launch leagues were in full blast and people were coming in and trying it out. As you say, Fred, it is nearly impossible to recruit new owners with a clear conscience when we aren't sure what's happening with the game. I understand the problems Mike faces with keeping this game afloat but I've never understood why he couldn't get someone to invest in this game to give Mike the opportunity to advertise it and expand it. If people out there knew what they were missing and it was running the way it could with a full-time operator, commissioner, this game could be a goldmine money maker. That's just my opinion.
