Zcompkid | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 05:11 am     How do I join a Fantasy League? I want to but the CBS.COM one isn't up yet. Is it going to be? |
Cathie | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 06:05 am     The CBS game is supposed to be up sometime today. You can also join the one at realiiity.com. Look near the beginning of this thread for instructions on how to register, join, etc... |
Twinkle | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 07:16 am     Armed with POW, I killed 33 pop-ups at Realiiity. When I registered, I was scolded for using my Yahoo e-mail address because *snort* they said generic addresses are often the source of spam. There's no way I'd give a site with that astonishing number of pop-ups my spamfree-for-4-years BellSouth address. Anyway, I'm signed up and ready to go! |
Llkoolaid | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 07:41 am     I am in and I made my picks. Hope I do ok for the team |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 07:57 am     Can believe how big our league is compared to the others????? 48 members strong!!! |
Zcompkid | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 08:37 am     I will Join the league. What do I have to do and how do I score points. Fill me in here please. |
Kaili | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 08:59 am     I joined, but what if I miss a week somehow for some reason? Do you get kicked off or do you just lose the points for that week? |
Emjaycue | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:13 am     Twinkle, The reason we do not allow "free" email addresses for registration is because, as I'm sure the mods here can surely tell you, people who use such emails are more likely to flame, be nasty, or post hoaxes on the message board (by "spam" we probably meant message-board spam). In fact, last week we spend several HOURS cleaning up after a user who created several accounts w/ a free mail service we didn't know about who posted several hoax "spoilers" on our boards. This took away time we could have spent developing and refining our games and other stuff. (Remember, someone does have to program and maintain the games they don't spawn themselves... no easy task) We have gotten a lot of heat here, most of it rather unfair. We are just fans who do this in our spare time, just like you guys, and we hate popups too. The only reason we have them is because the ad service we use uses them, and it is one of the few that actually pays (even if it is piddling)... without the pop-ups we couldn't run the games. Because games take up significant processor and database resources (as well as bandwidth) our hosting costs fluctuate between $500-$1000 per month, and unlike TVCH we do not have a friendly hand helping us out with hosting. The costs we don't meet through advertising or donations come out of our own pockets. If you don't like the popups I suggest using something like Popup Stopper (which I've used myself and it works very well). Better yet, send us a small donation, we don't really care how much (frankly, anything will be more than we get from the ads you would have seen anyhow) and we will turn them off for you. We would NEVER sell your email address to spammers... All email addresses are safely stored away and only used if we need to get in touch with you for some reason, which is rare. So, we're sorry the popups and whatnot are annoying to you, but games without popups are better than no games at all ;-) (we're especially sorry that we have such a bad reputation here). But we are very happy that so many of you here at TVCH have enjoyed our games despite of what you may think of us. (I've lurked here for quite some time... since before being at Riii actually -- since early-bb1, so i know you have a strong community...) Just cut us a little slack, we're not some seedy establishment out to get you -- we're just regular people who enjoy following these shows, just like you or the mods here, and we hopefully make games others enjoy too... they are an awful lot of work. Best, --M |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:23 am     Emjay.. I didn't think you had a bad rep here at all... pop-ups are annoying, but they are a necessary evil. I think she was just more proud of the fact that she managed to keep an e-mail account spam free for 4 years... which frankly.. I was impressed about! |
Kaili | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:35 am     I keep two email addresses- my university email I use to sign up for stuff that I know will result in spam crap or when the require a "real" email address- I very rarely check it- usually just one or two times per month to delete the 60+ messages taht will be in there- then I use a seperate (free) one for personal email and the stuff I actually want to recieve. I think I'm signed up here with my university one because when I went to delete messages yesterday I saw an old message about chat being down or something. It works for me and keeps my mailbox nice and clean! |
Jalynne | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:58 am     Would it be okay if I joined your league too? I've lurked here for a long time and plan to post more this season. I also plan to get the live feeds, if CBS ever updates their site, so possibly I can help with coverage in that area too. |
Twinkle | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 10:40 am     Emjay, thanks for your response. I certainly understand why you have the popups. However, because I wasn't familiar with your site, and was buried by an avalanche of pop-ups on my first visit, my initial impression was that there was a potential for my receiving spam at my personal (not free) e-mail address. From what you have written, it appears that my impression was incorrect. |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 11:29 am     Am I missing something? It's almost 2:30PM EST and I can't find any info about the BB3 fantasy game on the CBS site. Has anyone come across it yet? |
Iceprincess | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 11:32 am     Nope, I have a feeling they will unveil it tonite sometime. They never said what time it would start just on the 8th. Perhaps they want to be fashionably late.  |
Jeneane | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 11:43 am     CBS must be a fasion statement then because they alwasy seem to be late, after all others have the scoop they come trailing behind. |
Danzdol | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 11:47 am     Ok, count me in! I am part of the league.... |
Metalbear | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 12:21 pm     The realiiity.com site keeps messing up my system and making me reboot, so i'm going to have to miss out on that one, but I will join the CBS one...I wish they'd hurry up I want to play |
Iceprincess | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Metalbear, You may want to get a popup killer. The site kept freezing me too until I got pop-up stopper. It is a freeware popup killer I found it on cnet. Kris |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 12:36 pm     Thanks Iceprincess. And thank you Jeneane for making me laugh. |
Delilah | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 01:14 pm     WoooHooo I just joined! Thanks to everyone who posted very easy-to-understand instructions! I am still not sure how to play but I will watch you veterans and get the hang of it soon. Will someone be posting here as to what we have to do, when, where etc... Sorry to be a pain, I am not new to this board but I have never been to Riii before. Thanks again and let the games begin!!  |
Lorgi95 | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 02:49 pm     I am brand new to this board, and just joined the game! Thanks for setting it up! I only found out about this site thru some negative comments another board (boy, do they suck )and came to see what they were complaining about..the only thing difference i see is that you guys seem to be a lot more friendly and considerate of others...thanks for letting me find a great site to post one for a great show!!! only two more days to go! |
Metalbear | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 02:57 pm     the CBS game is now up! |
