Re: Admin needs to preserve records from folded leagues by Bryno @ 5/28/2018 1:32 pm What if there was a window of time (along with a notice) that you could download the league records and stats (csv) - before the league gets deleted?? Just an idea.

Just an idea. well i would think we would have to download it to a CD than download it as a CSV because it probably would still cause a problem with STORAGE DATA that JDB said here = jdavidbakr wrote: I appreciate this suggestion, but allow me to explain why I have chosen to do this. There are two major costs to running this site. The #1 cost is the storage required for all of the data for each league. This cost increases of course the longer a league exists. The #2 cost is the cost required to run the servers to sim the games. But that pales compared to #1. The reason leagues shut down and data gets removed when they get empty is because, without people actively playing in a league, I can't cover the cost to store the data of the league; it's as simple as that. The only viable solution would be to change the model to one where everyone pays maybe a monthly subscription instead of having ads on the site or buying credits, but I believe that would significantly reduce membership and hurt the game as a whole, so instead I have chosen to make it free to play if you choose to do so. The compromise on that point is that, if a league is not being played in, the data for it goes away. The exception of course is that if you have a custom league, that league will not shut down if it is below the minimum threshold, because someone did pay for that benefit.

All I am saying is to make the statistical records available via a CSV download. It wouldn't be THATbig of a file. And only make them available for a window-of-time. After the window passes, JDB deletes the league and ALL of the data that goes with that league. Last edited 5/29/2018 5:00 am

YES i am ASSUMING anyway i would think having the ability to download it to a CD would be better because then that DATA wouldnt be on the site regardless how small it is . just my 2 cents and maybe i am wrong and you are right.

Multiplexing data over a course of different mediums is far more secure. Perhaps, and something to think on, is the ownership of the data and extended rights to such....a WHOLE different ball game.
Re: Admin needs to preserve records from folded leagues by BIDDZZBUCS @ 5/30/2018 1:57 pm Id much rather Admin spend time polishing the actual game play than helping a handful of owners relive their "glory days". Just my opinion. Liked by bgedgerly

Just my opinion. Why so ? The question posed is to preserve records of leagues that died. Not to be confused with leagues threading water.
