Just wanted to let you know that domain for Mocksports has lapsed.
When I check it today, it said we'd have to pay some exorbitant fee to get it back.
What does everyone think? Do we need a website? I don't think we do if we continue as we are, but what about attracting new owners? There some free services.
Anyone have any thoughts to share?
(I'm just full of questions.)

I just discovered this myself a couple of days ago but hadn't gotten around to bringing it up with the membership. I don't recall that we actually recruited any new owners through the website. In fact, up until 3-4 years ago, it was laughably out of date in terms of links and the information it provided. Unless someone knows of a good reason to retain that domain name, I'd agree that it's an unnecessary expense.

I'm unclear on what the issue is here. Clearly, we need a website to continue in the way we have before. The domain name is another matter. So is this site. I would not want to lose the information that is here. Changing the name from mocksports to mocksport or mocksportsII or moksports would not be problematic so long as we did not lose the information and people could find the link. As I have said, I am not sure what is at stake here.

We certainly don’t need to buy the old domain and the value of having a website isn’t clear to me. But, if we want want one I can build an updated version of the old one rather easily through Squarespace.

I doubt the website has much value in recruiting new members. What I did find helpful about it was when I first joined I read through the link to an old draft which gave me a better idea of what to expect when I participated in my first draft. Maybe such a link could be added to the current forum page as it might be helpful to others who join us.

Still confused. Is this site: Mocksportsfantasybb, the website to which you refer.

No. The old forum.mocksports.com, it was a single blue page with a description of Mocksports and various links.

I was referring to baseball.mocksports.com
It was our public website that described the league, had a link to the official rules, and listed out the leagues and draft dates and times.
I used to do the updates.
