Fanball... Server Problems (1 Viewer)

:goodposting: I have had problems with emails from the website, the live draft function, live scoring (not just on the 1st weekend) and customer service (which is not as good as some people want to make it out to be). I guess I am just being absurd, though.
It is possible for you to have had problems with MFL and for the Fanball-MFL comparison to be absurd.Do a search for all threads with Fanball in the title and tell me what percentage do not trash Fanball.

Neither this topic nor your opinion mean enough to me to spend time doing that. You can be a tool and call me absurd all you want even though you have no idea the amount of problems I have had with MFL. :rolleyes:
 
This thread is deja vu. Every year Week 1 and 2 fanball has issues.... It's clock work. Hence, I switched our league to yahoo. Easy interface and free live scoring, probably one of the better looking interfaces out there. To be honest, I was impressed that yahoo has added so much additional functionality (blind bidding, etc.)....

Of course I still have a league on sportsline, but I have to admit... looks pretty blenderish with throwing all the stuff on one screen. Been happy with yahoo since switching from fanball though.

 
Anyone recommend any other sites? I have a league on CBS, not a fan of the homepage layout or the live scoring layout. I've heard some good things about MFL but I don't think they can handle our league schedule of one win for head to head and one win each week if you finish top 7 of 14 in scoring.
Everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinion, but I've seen this a couple of time on the board and can't understand it at all. CBS has BY FAR the best live scoring service. It's compact, easy to read, shows all the stats, updates every play, and also shows the rest of the league scores (which can be accessed very easily).
 
Its working now...

but the defensive scoring is still crrappyy... I have 14 points in GB defense (TD, 2-INT, 2 Sacks, 1 FF and 100+ kick/int/punt yardage) and I am getting a listing of 7. I refresh and it says 1. LOL!

Oh well, Just wish we didn't pay for it is all.

After switching to Sportsline, as commissioner all I can say is my stress has been reduced by 80%.

This.The sad thing is, I knew people at Fanball before they were sold, and gave them the blueprint for how to stop the inevitable crashes while reducing server calls/loads. Wasn't even doing it to make a buck...just showed them how to do it on their own. They basically patted me on the head, gave me a lollipop and said "we'll take that under advisement." :lmao: A couple years later, all my leagues are at MFL and their customer base has to be in free-fall.Karma's a #####, I guess. :shock:
 
Is Paul Charchian still running the show over there. Those guys are completely incompetent. Joined with them many years back. The entire operation was--and still is, apparently--a joke.
I think Charch sold it and is long gone. My league disappeared around 10:00/11:00 p.m. EST last night. Nothing but error messages saying stuff like this site has been erased. They did some sort of software "upgrade" over the summer and it has been pretty bad so far this season. Settings for IR, OT players, waivers, etc. that I set up our first year there in 2003 and never had to think about again were lost. I've been putting fires out daily. I was always a supporter, but I'm looking elsewhere and scrambling to get a new site up.If there's enough commotion from the community here, maybe one of the other league manager sites will offer some sort of promotion to Fanball commissioners to switch over. I just started a free 4-week trial at MFL, but if anyone wants to recommend something better, I'm all ears.I'm looking for a good Message Board (CBS' drives me crazy), being able to post weekly league reports on the home page, being able to program in my league's past history, good live scoring and all of the other basic stuff you would expect.
