Claimed: Autograph: Death Spiral

[BluObieZ 1,125]

To say that I write this with great sadness would be a complete lie. Sure I saw this going a lot longer and being much more of a success then it was, but with my writers all not writing anymore I cannot really put out a one article magazine because people would cry and scream that the league is letting me basically get free points. 

 

I had a grand idea for this Autograph thing that never really took off. I was delayed with rolling out the final look because of life and work. My editions were delayed a week or so and it just went out of control from there. This maybe the death spiral for Autograph but it also is the beginning of the end for me. I have made it abundantly clear that my next player will be my last ever VHL player. With V2A retiring one season early is yet another thing that just proves that I am on my way out. Truth here is that I am losing more and more interest in the league. I would have probably passed off Autograph to someone in the last few seasons with my last player. But now I do not have to pick the next editor if there would have even been someone willing to take it over. 

 

The mag when it first came out all those seasons ago was entertaining and people loved it but as time went on the interest in it started lowering and even before I took over no one really paid attention to it. It became a glorified MS and lets be honest most people do not read MS's unless it about something they care about or it is a popular "thread" I had plans to hype editions and get readers involved but as you can tell it failed me horribly. Hell I wanted to make this into one last edition but as you can tell it is not. I mean why would I? just for this one article? it's kind of pointless. 

 

In the end I would like to say I had fun with doing this Autograph but to me as I look back on the weeks as editor I can tell you it was a waste of time. It failed. I don't like failure and my fuck this stumbled right out of the gate. I should have taken it around back of the shed and killed it as writer interest started to dwindle. But my cockiness and ego did not let me admit it. But since I am the only writer and the editor of it I cannot continue and will not continue. So for the people who enjoy to see me fail. Soak it in. I really couldn't care any less about things in this league. Me letting go of this gets me one step closer to my last player and my last retirement. I'd leave after Kane, but I want to leave after a forward not a D. So you get me for a few more seasons. You can thank me now. Go ahead.
