1-Hard to tell, I think active enough to keep checking the forums a couple of times per day. I like this kind of games. The only problem is that I don't understand clearly what we have to do. For example, what is this post about? This is my new team?
2-I want to see my player being one of the best or at least see him winning championships. 
3-I did in the past in other forums. Those forums don't exist anymore but the system was different. Players improved by being active in the message boards. 
4-I like hockey a lot, I don't have the chance to watch hockey a lot like other people but I try to follow my favorite teams and leagues. 
5-Hard to tell right now, my first interest now is understand mechanics, once that is complete I would be more free to enjoy other aspects of the forums I believe. 
6-I still don't understand the mechanics clearly. 

Brain talks are always good. Typically, the talk works out for me.. usually  

Basically a random draw every week for some free TPE and stuff.
 
Generally being a first gem gives you better odds because there are fewer of you in the pool.

1. Media spots, pod casts, graphics and. VHL.com's are all weekly tasks you can do to earn your capped limit TPE. The cap for the week is 12 by the way. 
 
You pick either graphic (6), media (6) or Welfare for your mains. Then you can do a press conference and VHL.com once a week.
 
These do not include jobs like financier, updaters etc. 
 
2. Kind of explained above.
 
Media Spot - 500 to 2,000+ words. Every 500 words is good for one week. If it's 500, you don't have to write until next week and can claim 6 TPE. If it's say, a 1,500 word article - you can claim it ONCE a week for a total of 3 weeks.
 
Graphic - once a week/6 TPE
 
Welfare - if you're busy or just lazy - it's def way less than the other 2.
 
Magazine = 7 TPE I believe. Writing articles for the VHL magazine etc WEEKLY.
 
VHL.com - WEEKLY - 150 word blabber about the league, your player or whatever. I believe it's 2 TPE now.
 
Press conf - WEEKLY - ask 5 and answer 5 and you get 2 TPE.
 
and there's some other shit like rookie report and Bio that you can only do ONCE in your CAREER and they earn you 8 and 10 TPE. 
 
3. Earn points by doing up above stuff WEEKLY or whatever.. and then once you do them, update your player in your players update thread (you'll have to make this). Apply the points VIA the update scale in the "create a player" thread. 
 
4. Auto retire after 8 seasons. It tends to be enough and you will be excited to create a new player by that time - trust me. However, I'm on the BoG and am fighting to up them limits to 10 seasons. Doubt it'll happen - especially with the newly introduced salary cap brackets etc. 
 
5. You can fly off into the abyss or create a new player. If he's good, he goes into the hall of fame and will forever be remembered. This is my like 4th or 5th player but I'm also a GM so i tend to retire my guys early to help out my teams needs  

Kinda stealing the idea from the SHL, because we have such a high influx of guys figure its a nice way to introduce me to the new blood and get to know them. Sorry if i did not tag you and your new so many members its hard to get em all.

3rd there are many leagues like this do you have an experience with them? If so how much. If not do you feel overwhelmed and will need help navigating the site? Dont be afraid our job as junior GMs is to help btw.
 
4th is are you a big hockey buff? Or do you prefer other sports. 
 
5th what is more important to you results right away, or a fun enviroment where u build good friendships.
 
6th any thing you feel i should know or you would like to share with us.
