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.
I'm not asking to be a jerk - I'm truly happy for you - I knew this day would come, FF is hot and you put together a great site, someone big was going to come along and buy you.
So as a Fan, rooting for you, I'd like to be able to go back to the guys I'm looking to start a new league with and say "Hey, Fleafounder ROCKS! AOL paid him $________ for his site! We're sticking with Flea!"

I've decided to sell Fleaflicker to AOL.

I honestly think I took Fleaflicker as far as I could alone and it was time to expand more aggressively.
