I'd bet that today breaks the record of 22 for the number of users online at FanLax.
Sad day to see LP fade away, very thankful for FanLax...thanks again, Matt.
Goodbye Laxpower?
Re: Goodbye Laxpower?
Thank you, Mr. Bernstein, for trying to keep the discussions, some of which were quite civil, going.

I logged in this morning around 5am and had an empty feeling in my stomach like I lost a close friend, then had to go to the dentist at 8 am only to find out I may have external resorption in a molar, next heading to an Endo for further evaluation later today,
Thanks to Matt for keeping the band intact, as best as possible.

Is my Laxpower 401k transferable to FanLax?
Re: Goodbye Laxpower?
22?! Maybe for the Fantasy Draft with 18 Coaches... plus 4 viewers? But I think we did the Draft at LaxPower. 22 is being generous.hickorystick wrote:I'd bet that today breaks the record of 22 for the number of users online at FanLax.

Re: Goodbye Laxpower?
What a loss to see the end of LaxPower. I was an intermittent user, but found it to be such a wonderful resource, and I enjoyed reading the banter and insights in the Forums. I was just reading them last week, so I am confused that the landing page that I saw today says LP hung up its cleats on July 31, 2018. Also: "Nothing great can last forever" ??? Um, maybe, but I knew there was a passionate community that wanted LP to continue, so that sounded a bit glib to me. It would have been nice if the LP landing page included a link to FanLax. I had to do a bit of sleuthing to find it. But now having done so, it is comforting to see its familiar format (albeit distressing to see the loss of so much information).

Well I had to post something to prove I still existed. Now where did I put my goal and net?

Re: Goodbye Laxpower?
Just axing LP with zero warning is really a d*ck move by Active. How long has it been since they stopped selling the LP app??

Such a bummer, because if you look at a particular team's thread from 2017 or 2007....it was really a written narrative of our sport.

The morning of August 29th at one point, the number of members here at the Lifeboat indicated under 140 members.
