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.
Why? Do you really think all the data suddenly went poof? Just be patient. You all obviously don't work in IT fields and realize that things like this take time. Should we have been warned? Probably, but that's on AOL, not Fleaflicker.
Glad to see you finally Post something about the transfer here, but remember you told us that you would have it done by the end of the month at the latest. This is the end of the month, so I am counting on it being done by midnight tonight. Good luck.
All we get is soft deadlines. They have came and gone. June 2nd? The end of June? Here we are in July, The Fleafounder has not even addressed this. People just want a firm deadline. Is that too much to ask for?
And if you get a firm deadline and it's still not done, then what? It'll get done when it gets done. I'd rather have it all working and stable than rushed and then spend months sorting out the issues.
I will tell you what, you go to another site. That is what. I am surprised you think there is any rush. People with Keeper leagues that used to be on AOL are out. That is why people are getting upset. So there you go, that is what.
Well complaining about it is not going to make it happen any faster. I'm pretty sure they aren't dragging their heels just to piss people off. I'm sure everyone is pissed off because we got no warning, I am too, but that's AOL's issue, not fleaflicker. And if you want to go pay for everything you can get here, more power to ya.
I'm patient. I am just asking when we can expect it. Yes, its hurting the AOL keeper leagues and yes, Ori is probably working day-in and day-out to get this working. Fleaflicker has my support if AOL is willing to turn it over to them. I do agree that we should be more upset with AOL for not telling us this was going to happen.
aol should get off thier butts and do something about it. Why not send Ori some help? aol should be powerful enough to get this done quickly. How hard can it be? I had a team transfer the entire Ohio school system over to a new system in two weeks. Is aol fantasy larger than the Ohio public school system? Lets get this together people. Where are you located, maybe I could send an IT team up to get it done!

I have the data for every league, team, roster, transaction, message board post, etc.
It takes time to convert it into Fleaflicker's format but it will be done.
