Fanball is completely screwed up right now. Just read their message board. A whole page of threads complaining and asking for money back with no-one from customer service in sight.There was a thread last nite Fanball was shut down too!No problem with Fanball or Fox this year.......

Fanball has really sucked this year. I can't get in at all.

I'm hoping that by Sunday night they have these bugs worked out. I have told my leaguemates that MFL is much better than CBS, Yahoo, etc. I hope it goes well, ugh.
Actually, this may be a good lesson for some of us. I am thinking of having a backup plan in case it happens. I will setup up a private chat room and have the link ready to go and send out via email, IM, etc. to all the owners in case MFL goes down. This way I am not trying to get 12 investment bankers and lawyers to make time for another draft.

I guess I've been lucky with Fanball. No major problems in 5 years, but I'm by no means pimping the site.

Sunday night on MFL was just one server only. It just so happened to be the server hosting all 6 OMEGA 20 Leagues with many from this board.
Monday night was a different error, but was resolved within about 20 minutes and everything was great after that.
It's been a long time, if ever, since I remember MFL having server load issues.

Why doesn't everyone use CBS? I've only had one serious problem with them in the last 7 years.

Just when I thought we might be spared the annual "CBS sucks/overpriced/etc." thread you post this.Oh well, might as well get a comfy seat...
Because they charge twice as much as crash twice as frequently.

In 10 yrs they crashed once for us and gave a 50% credit the following year. I can spare the $10 for all you get. Its a much superior service. Kind like the $27 I spend on this site,

Mike changed our Omega drafts over to slow drafts (6 hour timer) when it went down mid-draft. It is, of course, very disappointing to have the draft drag on, but does avoid the problem of having to reschedule. If people pre-draft picks when it gets close to their turn, it should move at a decent pace.

This was my first year in MFL and I was very unimpressed with their drafts. In one owners kept getting players they didn't draft and most of the owners left after getting a player like Marcus Bell when they were trying to draft a Deangelo Williams.
The response time was slow in both, the timer didn't work in either and the page itself lacked in many features common to every other draft I've done in the last several years. You can't select multiple players to move into you watch queue at one time. There's no search box. No drag and drop. No eye-catching clue to let you know when your turn is up, which becomes significant in a draft that moves as slow as these drafts did. The audio feature didn't work at all.
Overall I give MFL

Not true. Fanball also crashed for a lot of people Sunday and Monday evenings. My wasn't able to use them for our draft at all, which was a huge pain since we're spread all around the country now.No problem with Fanball or Fox this year.......
