Dodds: As feature laden as MFL is, the single most common criticism heard about the MFL product is how unattractive and poorly laid out the league home pages are. Have you given any thought to hiring a design team to create a more professional and user friendly experience, one that would rival the look and feel of some of your competitors such as Fanball, ESPN and CBS Sportsline?
Hall: First, and most importantly, we agree! Sometimes we go to league home pages, and see the ugliest, most poorly laid out, visually unappealing web pages you could ever imagine! And while that's a bad thing for that league, and the owners in that league (and anyone else who sees that league home page, and incorrectly thinks "man, MyFantasyLeague.com pages are ugly!"), it really emphasizes the flexibility and functionality of our system. Just like we don't dictate what league scoring rules you can or cannot have, or dictate what waiver rules you should have, we don't tell you how it should look. It's your league, so if you choose to have an ugly, poorly laid out league home page, who are we to tell you that you can't? As time goes on, we try to make system changes on this front, making league pages easier to use and making our default page appearance more modern by adding more skins, etc. But overall, the reason that some league pages are ugly is the exact same reason why we think customers love us - because of the flexibility and customization we offer.
