Guys, as most of you know, it's always better to be in alliance with a madden community. PTML is in alliance with a couple, however a serious offer has been brought up. Gamers PIT Online, which is a fairly new community with some potential would like to host our family of leagues. CoachStylez which is the Admin there, seems very active, eager and ambitious. He is a madden friend of Co-Commish Joe-Mag. However, in order for that to happen, we will have to move our message forums to their site. A few Pros and Cons with this move:
Pros:
PTML Family will get more publicity
A few more features with the forums
Chatters will have a place to chat it up with the community
You can find another league for a diff sport
They will often hold tournaments with prizes
They will implement a ladder system for games played within the community
They are close knit with the founders of SSN, SimSportsNetwork
If all fails, we can just come back home as these boards will remain up
Cons:
All will have to re-register for the new forums
There is a small chance this community will not make it, as that chance lies with anything new
Alot of trust will have be bestowed upon the Admin of Gamers Pit.
I'd like any comments on this.

Just a couple questions:
1) Do we not have the critical mass in 3 leagues to do our own community? We have to have 40+ ballers in the leagues.
What are the barriers here to do it ourselves? Money to host?
2) Could we have a co-Admin position so we can share the decisions/ownership and control our destiny?
3) Do we still get to Commish our own leagues, rules, etc?
4) Is there any increase/decrease in cost to us as players?
Just a few questions.

1. I think we can have our own community, the only barriers are: Having someone set up the website
Money really isnt an issue, but Im sure the site will cost a little extra
2. CoachStylez, Admin, will converse with the community and all commish crews before making huge decisions
3. We will be in full control of our section of the boards. Nothing will ever change as far as rules or gameplay
4. To my knowledge its free.

Hello, I appreciate you guys considering the following.
1) this is a free service... we are trying to make this a nice community of straight sim ballers.... Unlike the U, we will not take control of any league. Your league is your league and you will be able to do everything that u have been able to do in the past with us. We are just trying to get the good leagues in 1 spot and establish ourselves

Guys, to be fair to those who are not in one of the other PTML leagues, one member, the Commish Dubster of OGML had this to say about this dude CoachStylez:
"Coachstylez was in this league (OGML) and quit after he got beat 1 time by me. And most everyone knows I am a Sim baller so there was no reason for him to quit other then he caouldn't take it. So my personal feelings would say no cause i was wronged and what would stop him from wronging us again. But i will let the Fam speak but I say no but would stay within PTML, but keep my own boards. So no one could tear them down if they got upset. "
Dubster is a pretty good dude and str8 baller so in light of his experience, I vote no unless we have some sort of power here to control our own destiny entirely.

Well i'm in both leagues and have played dubster who was more than sim and is an awesome commish who handles the league very fair so i'm gonna have to agree with him. I signed up in the league to play tough fair sim games, which i'm sure we all did. So if there is any chance that things wont just get better then I say leave a good thing alone. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.  |

Yeah for sure, we would not be exploiting the PTML if we didnt know DID didnt know his stuff. GGFL has been around the same amount of time as the PTML and i have known of did's leagues since i started my own. I want to re ensure that Did and his commissioners will have the same amout of control over the league he does now. all we doing is switching the forums over to another place... thats it. We want members to have their leagues all in 1 spot. Plus, we give away prizes each month for tourny's we run think about it guys, from the activity i have seen on these boards so far, it really makes me want you guys to join the community more. Im always here for help, u guys should check the forums out www.gamerspitonline.com/forumsMake a name... it has a ton of cool features |

I've been reading everyone comments on this subject in all three leagues. Everyones pros and cons on why or why not to do this. Well now, I think I'm ready to add my 2 cents.
While making a move like this will being all three leagues more exposure to a larger Madden community. It shouldn't be about quantity, but about quality. The quality of owners and people we will all come into contact with while being in this community. Personally, I find that in a smaller community people develop up a trust and closeness that tense to get lost in a larger community.
At this point, all three leagues are still trying to find good quality owners, who is going to be active and up hold the integrity of the leagues. This new community can open some new door and give us a larger pool to pull from for new owners. However, I think all three leagues don't have a real problem with finding new owners. Like someone said, as more people get ps3's more people will find out about the different leagues and will want to join.
I will go along with what ever the Commis's say (Didd, Dubster, Korrovid, Magdaddy etc..) as I'm in all three leagues. I do think if we stay the way we are, then it will give us a chance to build something special we all can be proud of to be a part. At this time, all three leagues are starting to get some real quality owners and it may have taken awhile, but like anything worth while it takes time. Each of us new and old owners are just starting to build a relationship of trust and closeness, that is going to take time as we move forward. But if we jump into this big community, then the question becomes how many steps will we take backwards as we get caught up (and we will) in what goes on in the Gamers Pit. This is kind of like the big corporation that wants the small town business to go up under them. Yes there are some wonderful benefit, but they eventually loss their individuality and their identity. (for those of us that are adults knows what I mean by this, not to but anyone else down or be respectful to our younger owners).
That my 2 cent.

At this point, the alliance will not come through. PTML has treaded through some depserate and hard times and has managed to get through, I trust we'll be ok. Thanks for the input and backing from all staff and owners. Thanks to you too Styles for the offer.
