I will continue to operate the site. There will be some minor changes as we integrate with AOL Sports but otherwise everything will remain the same.
Fleaflicker has come a long way in just three and a half years. During that time I was possessed by a single (and often unhealthy) obsession—making the best fantasy football site. My decision to sell was made with this goal in mind.
AOL and I share the same vision for expanding the site. Integrating with AOL sports will improve Fleaflicker immeasurably. (For example, FanHouse blogs provide the most insightful sports commentary on the Internet; their content will ultimately be integrated into Fleaflicker.)
The bottom line is this: I made this decision because I am certain it will improve the game for all Fleaflicker users.
Well congrats to you, you deserve yours. This is a great site and we all love it.
I hope Fleaflicker stays free, for the site itself. If they insert cost all the keeper leagues that have been running for a year or more will fall apart and you will lose TONS of users. I expect major changes if you were bought out by AOL, I hope they don't push you aside Ori. Goodluck to you and every user on Fleaflicker.
AOL's fantasy football game has always been free. AOL has a lot of free sites and services that you probably didn't even know were owned by AOL (e.g., MapQuest).
I'm still in charge and I will not approve any changes that dilute the quality of the game in any way.
You put in your work, I am sure more work than I would ever understand to make this site. It is simply amazing and was only a matter of time before someone paid you for it. I am excited for the season to start!!! Thanks again and enjoy that check!
