Correction, it’s a fiery butthole. It must have just ate Taco Bell.

Long time no see buddy

Let’s be honest, you came back for me.

?

This doesn’t qualify for a bio is the main problem. Not enough words for one (512 and bios need 1000) and also not really the kind of content that bio’s are meant to be. Bio guidelines can be found HERE

Seriously @Beaviss you need to chill with the hat tricks already.

What was that about Davos having our number this season? I think not. Great game from @Sonnet

Always nice to get a big win, even though it’s a game I’d be shocked to see us lose. @Quik are we done with the backup games? Seems like Seattle would be a good option to get them finished up doesn’t it?

Sorry about the ridiculously early sim. Not gonna have much time otherwise today so had to get it done.

The problem is that kind of mindset means anyone without the time to be on 24/7 gets basically only official stuff and posts only for TPE. I’ve always looked at the VHL as a community, not a game. That community feel doesn’t really exist on discord for me with everything jumbled together and conversations getting buried. The structure of the forum for me allows the community to thrive moreso than just to chat which is all I think discord should be, a fancy chat box. I think though that a lot of people look at the league more as a game than a community though. To them I guess it would make sense to have a place to play and a place to shoot the shit; I just fail to understand why they need to be separated. I do understand why people like one more than the other and both have their uses. I guess I just don’t understand why it’s become the norm to assume nothing can be posted if it’s not for TPE which seems to be the general assumption.

Welcome to the VHL, jscott! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

No, the email is checked before every sim anyway.

They do not.

I think a lack of using it and more people moving to almost exclusively discord actually makes this problem worse. With people only posting when it gets them TPE (more or less) that’s all the content you’re likely to see. You’ll never really discover anything though without using it or diving into different sub-forums. If people were posting more the split between interesting and not-interesting content would definitely be more balanced.

FWIW I don’t think any of even us old farts thing Discord is useless. It’s more so just an annoyance that basically all non-TPE related talk has switched to it which makes the forum itself feel pretty dead by comparison.

That moment when neither the writer nor editor realizes there’s a weird auto-correct in your quote and you’re stuck trying to figure out what it was supposed to be. They were for a time actually but when we switched them to clubs instead of direct forums we lost the ability to place them; the bottom is the only place clubs can go. I’ve never quite understood this argument in any case though. Where a forum is placed in the main board means nothing to me because I don’t individually click into forums and sub forums pretty much ever. I just click “view new content” and scroll through that. Do people not use that feature?

I’m looking forward to no longer holding that record. However it would be nice to not immediately become the lowest scoring Brooks winner ever haha. 5 goals in 7 games should hopefully be doable to avoid that.

I feel like you said this last time and then fought me tooth and nail for it our entire run up to the draft.

I concur with Green. @Cornholio has had the name for ages.

Think of how members are these days. A lot of the time they do stuff purely to get paid for it. If you think about it, once someone leaves the VHLM the majority of their extra earning potential disappears and they have to kinda fall into the regular routine. This would theoretically add some extra bonuses to look forward to.
