They do but when I see 60 up votes and I know we have 60 active members, it shouldn't be that hard.

I get what you are saying, it's more so me pointing out the irony in some peoples words. I have seen people say that we need new members but yet they won't lift a finger. This isn't a company, thus you can't expect the "company" to do their own marketing. All I know si that a lot of words have been spoken but not a lot of actions been taken.

I'm not saying people don't care about the site. They just don't take pride in it. The majority does shit all when it comes to recruitment. I've seen people talk about how low our member base is, but they have never done anything besides the TPE gained posting/upvoting threads. Go to message boards, be active on Twitter, engage on Reddit or even pop it in a reply on a youtube video. I've tried various avenues and some have worked and some have been a waste of time, but often times I think the majority just wants them to filter in organically.

So I take it most of you know that Recruitment is the one area I watched closer than anything. I'm not on the Recruitment Crew nor do I collect TPE week-to-week for going out and searching places to recruit. I do so because the leagues member base has gotten a tad stale.I think everyone can agree that having the same members recycle through players for draft classes can be a little redundant and thus predictable with some of the draft spots. I'm writing this as sort of a wake up call and if it strikes someones nerve then I know for a fact it was worth it. The VHL doesn't know how to recruit properly because the VHL doesn't want to recruit properly. By that I mean that the VHL members may say they want recruitment to take off, but they will do nothing to help that actually take place. The SHL recently launched their SHL Reddit Recruiting (which they do fairly consistently). In the matter of 6-7 hours they have over 60 upvotes and the comments are rolling in faster than Bill Cosby can plop a pill in a drink. The issue? In the VHL, members don't take pride in this league and thus don't care really about the 5 second task to go in and like, follow or tweet something. Hell, I go into these things and do them anyways regardless of if their is TPE involved. if we took 2 minutes a week just to actually broadcast out site on the internet we would be better off. Twitter is a growing community and I've seen some positives from it but also some wasted time. Here is the biggest catch, the main members who should be recruiting and have the knowledge of other boards, won't lift a finger. For one GM's should be so on board with recruitment that they can't stop mentioning it. You as a GM should want drafts to be deep and for 3rd round picks to matter. Until that day we will never truly gain new members and until that day when someone says "We need to recruit" but has done shit all in that area, I will laugh and in fact shame them. I say this as someone wanting a change, not someone mad at our current member base. I am in the SHL, but I wouldn't consider myself someone who goes in an engages in discussion a lot. I have a player, I update him and I leave. A lot to learn from competitors. We pride ourselves on having a great community and being branded better than anyone, but whats the point if we don't share this little community with people who might be interested?

+ Boost

I as well don't see it as a spam, I've mentioned in the Podcast that I'd rather people tag me so I can stay in the loop

I didn't...I stated that tampering itself is illegal. You are the one who keeps relating it to yourself haha. People are allowed to make points on a general topic.

But but I actually cared!

How's college going though?

If I recall, S49 is a part of the VHL's history...but I could be wrong. What you did isn't bad, but this isn't either. Sending PM's and tampering is illegal, this isn't.

It's his wording, he never truly has the right wording or something and the tone comes off super passive aggressive. I'm his Updater, trust me.

If you consider this shady, how's this for shady: Signing a bunch of free agents and trading them all off for assets at the deadline. It may not look shady at first, but gaining assets by simply signing inactive and active FA's is along the same grounds. People can blow this out of proportion if they want, but there are a ton of ways to get around rules already and GM's are doing them every season. That doesn't make it right, but it certainly doesn't make them wrong either. Just move on as I'm sure a player who is 300+ TPE isn't make or break for a Seattle franchise that is once again "going to push for the cup".

I should add that us Calgary players knew there was a chance at getting him but that a deal with Quebec wasn't what we were told of or even expected.

If there was one Attribute that you could add to both the Skater and Goaltender build, what would it be and what would it's effect be in the sim? Fighting sliders up or naw? Favorite VHL players that aren't your own that aren't currently playing?

Haha I know the stock

World B. Free Ariel Weinstein @Green

VHLSC will be taking a 4 week break now haha

@ADwyer87 Remember what I said about helping new members?

Good to know, thanks! I can remove his GM ass. If I recall correctly then yeah you are right

first mistake is having a grandma

Is it? @Draper can we confirm this

True but not to me. I simply forgot Pandar was new here. I am very familiar with Pandar

This draft is shaping up to be something good! Our last draft was great and the second round featured some steals and great talent. We don't want to waste your time anymore though, check out the draft below as we get more in-depth in coming weeks!
