Good to see the website back up. Has L2 gone out Steve?

I don't play League 2 myself but it's the knock on effect I'm thinking of.
I realise last turn was an extra long one as there was a break for one turn for the new season.
League 3 Week 33 was processed on 04/10/2023
League 3 Week 1 was processed on 25/10/2023 - 3 weeks

To be honest I'm struggling with my interest levels at the current average of 12.5 days per turn.
When the league is processed all activity within the game dies off after 48 hours. (Not your fault. Just the way it is!)
You can clearly see this on the forum.
I send my turn in then. There is no point in waiting for something to happen, because it never does.
I've yet to miss a good deal yet by sending in early. The very odd time I may resubmit if a deal does come up or I've forgot something, but very rarely. You can see it on the forum yourself. Many weeks the League 3 sections shows last message posted as 1 week ago!

It's a long 10 days or so, to wait for the game to become 'active again'.
I know you have no control over the manner in which the forum/game goes dead after a short time.
Managers are ready to recieve the next League then.
What I'm trying to say is that it's very hard to get any momentum with this game at the rate of 12.5 days on average per turn.
33 weeks x 12.5 days = 412.5 days approx to play a season!

I understand that this is primarily a postal game so managers need time to receive their post and submit.
I get that. But anything over 10 days (a personal opinion) is bordering on unplayable.
I understand you have had major website issues this week so I get that too.
Maybe a plan B needs to be in place, eg send a group email to all managers explaining the site is down. In order not to delay the league as a temporary measure you could hand write the turnsheet (for the few managers that haven't yet submitted) on this weeks sheets and scan it through.
This is just an example of a basic contingency plan to keep the game moving.

I realise life can be complicated and throw curve balls in many, many ways.
Please treat this feedback as it's intended. I'd rather give you a snapshot of where my head is at in relation to the game than stay silent. I'ts your game Steve. In my business I appreciate feedback. I've really enjoyed my 8 years in Summit.
It's been fun. I am considering things at the moment. What ever happens I appreciate the entertainment you have provided us all.

As always. My continued best wishes to you and your family.
