Message from new admin (zapisal adiego ob 2015-03-04 23:36:51)
Dear friends,

I'd like to start this by thanking everyone for the enthusiasm and patience you've proved in the last period of time. These traits are what kept us together and allowed for this day to happen, gave us the chance of a new start.

I'd also want to thank Adiego for creating and managing this game for all these years. Talking openly with him for the last few days made me realise the effort he put in maintaining the game we all love. Of course, there were issues along the way, but since we're facing a new phase of this story, we should step on this road by cherishing the good parts and learning from the bad ones.

Many of you are wondering who is this new admin of the game. I'll shed some light. In basketsim, I'm known as Goosy, I've been playing this game from the first season, in the Romanian leagues. Outside basketsim I'm Gabriel, originally from Romania currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. I've been involved in software development for many years now, starting by studying games development, continuing by falling in love with web development, nurturing a passion for user experience and general user happiness leading me to the point I am currently in, working as a developer/consultant. This is the mix that recommended me for being Adiego's successor, to which I'd add a huge desire to see this game flourishing as it was a few years ago. And I'm confident this is all possible.

In terms of plans, on short term, I'll focus on stabilizing the game and automating as many processes as possible. This is work that will not be very visible at the surface, but will make everything run smoothly and allow me to have more time for what we all expect: new features. One noticeable change will be increased transparency, you will know what's being changed and why. There are also a few people that I know I can count on to help me bring the game back to life, and you will learn about them as soon as there will be some clearly defined roles. I can only tell you they are as excited as I am to bring the glory back to this game. Last but not least, Adiego will stay on an advisory role for the next few months, and I can guarantee this is a big win, he indeed lacked some time, but his passion for the game is intact.

Longer term, I'm looking at modernizing the interface and the architecture, it's the time to truly bring Basketsim to 2015. Bringing back the users that we've lost in the past years and attracting new users is also a top prio and there are some clear plans around this. We will talk about all these goals when the time is right.

The only way this game can improve is with your continued patience and support, and we need those now more than ever!

Goosy

Basketsim is going to be run by new admin from this day on and this is extremely exciting moment in the life of the game with superb 8+ years of tradition - at this moment there's no doubt left that Basketsim will continue to exist and develop to become better and more fun for old and new users! More info to come, just some notes: due to all the errors, season 22 had to be restarted, transfers occuring in last two weeks were extended, draft money was refunded to teams so you can sign again - same goes for college investments, all users were given 15 days of free supportership (also existing supporters). More info to come directly from the new administrator.
