To all Fleaflicker members:  
 
I've decided to sell Fleaflicker to AOL.  
 
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.  
 
Feel free to post questions here or contact me directly.  
 
-Ori Schwartz

does anyone else feel like know matter where we post ,we the consumer are the only ones reading this. If something doesnt happen soon may have to find another site..any ideas...

I've already starting looking for potential replacement sites. Right now I'm leaning towards myfantasyleague. Its not free, but its a nice site. We're falling on deaf ears here.

Man, im gonna be pissed if we cannot acces our info, our league was 5 years old and if I lose all of our stats,,,grrrrrrrrr

AOL should have told us before they made this change. We could have backed up our teams and scoring systems in case we have to move, right now we are at the mercy of FF. I hope they pull through. NFL.COM has a free fantasy football site that looks ok.

scotto1959 Mon 6/23/08 9:46 AM

they have great live scoring and player updates,but hang with Ori and this site for awhile, since he merged with AOL I think we will see all this come to FF before kick-off, once again just hang in there!!!

You cannot edit anything except Team/League names at NFL.com.  
 
IMO this is the best site available! THX Ori. Take your time.

I have a dynasty lost that started in 1995!

majicdragons Fri 6/20/08 9:36 PM

I'm very impatient, but I learn what to expect out of a free service. I read that aol bought flea flicker in 2006.

Look Ori;  
 
You have to stop your silence on this issue and let us know if we have to start from scratch or if our keeper league info will ever show up on your site. Let us know what is going on please.

overachiever77 Sun 6/22/08 2:06 PM

I agree. Its almost July and we've been patient. Regular updates on the status of our AOL leagues would be the right thing to do.

Warpath7 Sun 6/22/08 7:06 PM

Can we please get a date on when this site will be up and running? We have all been very patient, However, people are starting to get upset and angry. Should people start looking for another site now? Will the league ever be completely integrated?

TheBroth Fri 6/20/08 8:52 PM

ANY update? The natives are starting to get a bit restless.

scotto1959 Fri 6/20/08 6:45 PM

give me an answer can i play yotu game??

Is the problem with the AOL leagues just for those who previously had leagues? I am using AOL/FF for the first time and i was just wondering if there are going to be problems for my league or are new start up leagues exempt from the issue.

madskillzplayer Thu 6/19/08 11:08 PM

I would guess it's only for the existing AOL leagues previous to 2008 that are being transferred to Fleaflicker

spoemgirl Fri 6/20/08 10:12 AM

Yes the only problem is that our roster information for our keeper leagues is not available so we don't thave the ability to do any draft activity. So far it looks like Fleaflicker will be great once we can start working with the information from last year.

[Deleted User] Thu 6/19/08 1:21 PM

is there some way AOL can put the rosters back up until you are ready to take over?  
 
is there a new date we can look forward to?  
 
progress?  
 
any news?

[Deleted User] Wed 6/18/08 2:15 PM

It's a sad day.  
I will not be returning.  
AOL can kiss my grits.  
I really enjoyed my time here.  
:( :( :( :(

Karoz Wed 6/18/08 4:29 PM

Eh, I guess I'll have to push back my Rookie/FA draft again.  
 
I'm a very patient person, but there are limits. I understand that it's not easy transferring the leagues, but it's now June 18th, and we haven't even been given a new ETA. It has supposedly been the #1 priority for two weeks.  
 
I don't know, I haven't been able to access my league since late April, and I have been given several ETAs that haven't been met.  
 
I've always heard great things about Fleaflicker, but I can't shake the feeling that we're just being told what we want to hear., as if the main goal is to keep us quiet.  
 
I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting, but I'm just a frustrated commissioner. Now that our login information has been transferred, when can we honestly expect the leagues? When I reschedule my draft this time, I would like to have confidence in the date.

[Deleted User] Fri 6/20/08 9:17 PM

It will happen eventually. Ori is a good guy and I'm sure AOL isn't out there to screw anyone over. They must be having some sort of trouble with it. Ori has been unusually quiet about it so I'm led to believe that theres some sort of disagreement on something thats holding things up

scotto1959 Mon 6/16/08 10:10 AM

STICK THE FLAG DROP IT

ffnptown Tue 6/17/08 11:08 PM

I wish you would STICK IT. This isn't where you need to post this! If you haven't gottent the results you have expected by now with all you ranting, then maybe you never will. I know I wouldn't do a thing for you the way you have carried on.

ORI-  
CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT SCOTTO1959? ALL HE IS DOING IS UPSETTING YOUR USERS

[Deleted User] Thu 6/19/08 11:26 AM

one word "Classy" if you need convincing take a look at his team name here:

I find it hard to believe that this is a 49 year old man......My 9 year old nephew has more class...
