Senior Admin Will 4,604 Posted October 29, 2018 Senior Admin Share Posted October 29, 2018 You are not yet aware of this, but @Higgins has decided to step away from VHLM simming. While he has left the door open to coming back in the future when he is in a better position to be the reliable simmer that the VHLM deserves, I thought it would be appropriate to give him a shout out for years of doing one of the toughest jobs around. Higgins has been simming the VHLM since S43 when the VHLM sim was separated from the VHL sim. So 20 seasons and roughly 3.5 years. That is quite awhile doing one of the most time-consuming and annoying jobs on the site - simming VHLM is a significantly bigger job than even simming the VHL. On top of the simming, Higgins was an active Commissioner and the main server admin for at a least a large a portion of his simming tenure. In that time there has a never been a stretch of more than a couple of days, excluding off-seasons, where he did not sim some VHLM Games. SO everyone should give Higgins a shout and thank him for many years of service. Going forward, @Beketov will be taking care of VHLM simming. We aren't sure yet how permanent that will be, we're discussing some options. diamond_ace, TheLastOlympian07, oilmandan and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik 4,113 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The VHL definitely wouldn’t be where it is without him holding the fort for so long. Thanks for all the work over the years @Higgins! Higgins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlapshotWrangler 784 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 We really owe this dude a lot. Doing all of that for 3.5 years himself, taking the time to do it despite the fact he could do something else, you got to respect that. Despite people continuously complaining about how the VHLM seasons take so long to start (myself guilty), he never backed down. Thank you @Higgins!
