A few thanks before I get down to whats happening over the next few months;

 

Rigglar & Joe have decided to step down from the team for various reasons. They've been very important to MaddenPFL over the years and I'm sure you'll join me all in thanking them for their efforts in their own free time to ensure you have a superb community and excellently run franchises to take part in. 

 

Cheers lads :cheers:

 

 

MaddenPFL & Madden'16

 

We've pretty much had a complete staff revamp, new guys are being brought in, the dead wood ditched. There are also a few changes that will take place, some already, some over the next few weeks;

 

* Forum Upgrade: Sometime tonight or over the weekend, I will be upgrading the forum so that its in line with the new RGM Forum

* Shoutbox Closure: The overuse of this has helped to form a mindset to not partake in the community. Couple that with the lack of VIPs on MaddenPFL, its being closed and everything that goes down on MaddenPFL will be available for everyone to partake in, not just those with shout box access. If this means you want to cancel your VIP, feel free. 

* Site Upgrade: The site will have a lick of paint and the content brought to the forefront with a layout simplification and uniformity that we've already established on our sibling sites, Pro Evo Network & FIFA League Manager. 

* Staff Overhaul: As this thread started, we've lost a couple of key guys, but we've already made moves and established a few new faces that are keen and raring to take over where they left off. BUT, I need a few more people to step up and help continue the great work that their predecessors have laid out. Interested? Get your name in this thread and what you can offer. We're looking for guys to help out from a franchise point of view as well as from a site and community enhancement aspect.

 

More s**t to come, but I'll close with this;

 

Some people have been commenting that the site isn't as active as it was or whatever, that changes from today onward. We all pull together to make this place bouncing again. We're nearly there from a behind the scenes aspect, but we will need you guys to do your bit as well. :pfl:

Thanks for the efforts of those stepping down and good luck to the new folk stepping up.

Cheers

Yeah thanks guys for your efforts, and will look forward to the future of the site.

 

Does this mean Joe's no-longer running the Xpress?

Agreed. Appreciate the efforts of both Rigglar and Joe over the years. Both spent a lot of time and effort to ensure the players on the site play in good, organised and well ran leagues and site.

 

Both will be missed.  :up:

Correct. Already planning the successors. 

 

Big shoes to fill, but we've already got the makings of a more involved team than we had the last few months, so the future is looking pretty good :D

Massive f**k off threads instead of a secluded shout box with limited involvement, even from the people in the shout box. 

 

Get a thread going and anyone can partake no matter when they turn up, be it at the start of game day, the middle, the end or days later. Means for more LOLs if people make outlandish statements that blow up in their faces as opposed to the disposable s**te in the shout box.

Don't want to derail the thread going over the same stuff but I simply prefer the shout box over a thread during NFL Sunday and I'll miss it. I hope you're right about the massive f**k off threads and ill certainly post but its failed when the shout box was closed previously.

You guys need to be trained to use the forum again to allow everyone to partake. 

 

You're on FLM, look at the size of some of those threads for one single match. You have multiple games, all going on at the same time, if you can't get a multi page thread going on a Sunday, then you guys clearly don't care enough.

I'm always able to help with the running of the site also Davo.

 

Unfortunately I just don't have as much time as I used to have when running the UKML years ago. If you were intending to run a 1 game a week franchise or the PFL, I could likely manage that.

Re the shoutbox on sundays everyone could partake as it was open to all. Hopefully the thought that massive threads get created comes true

Not if people are set in the lazy shout box only mindset.

Although I've not played much madden over the past two years, I have been around these parts for a fair few years and participated in many leagues/events. As I've done many times previously, I'd like to express my gratitude to all admins and staff members who put tremendous amounts of time and effort it to helping create a sustainable and fun environment for madden geeks.

 

With regards to the shout box I think Davo is bang on the money. When I used to be a league member and regular visitor to the site, I used to love the shout box as much as the next man. However, when I decided to give madden the elbow I still fully intended to visit and contribute to the forums regularly. The problem was that it was very apparent to me how, apart from the madden league tabs, the site was very quite with most activity happening on the shout box. As I was no longer a member of a league, I quickly felt far more detached from the site than I had intended. I know I could have made more of an effort, but more threads should help recreate the vibrancy the site had 3 years or so ago and help sustain all the leagues within it.

 

Big thanks to Riggs and Joe :pfl:

Stuey, the ukml is one game a week... just saying.. like old times!

Bit of a kicker Joe leaving the xpress aswell. He run a tight but fair ship and that was a big factor in me playing in it.

If Buncey the bungler is taking over then I'm deffo out :lol:

Looking forward to see who the new folk running the leagues are. If you need any assistance, I'm happy to help if I'm able to.

Good luck chaps and god speed.

Losing Joe is a big loss to the Xpress , that is a great franchise.

 

Losing the shoutbox is a good thing though , the forum was dead.

 

sad to see another legend step down , cheers Rigglar  :up:
