the day I joined LJ

83 others did as well. Does anybody know any of them? Are they still here as active users?

Apparently LJ attracts nearly a 1000 new people every day. The biggest group is in between 15 and 19. Which makes me old.

I love these kind of useless statistics...

I'm not sure. I probably would have ended up as a complete weirdo, only able to communicate via computers. Not a good idea.

I love any kind of stats, and the useless ones are the best. Speaking of useless stats, did you ever get hooked up with the ljfbl?

Saw the link in your journal, reacted to the last post and volunteered to join, so I guess we might be competing each other the coming season...

Oh, that's such a sweet deal. I'm looking forward to it. I hate being in leagues where I really don't know anybody.

Why the fuzz about a draft? If everybody joins Yahoo, they will do an automatic draft, fairest option I guess. Then again, I'm not an expert, I have to admit. A live draft seems nearly impossible with 10-ish people all on-line at the same time, that would be utopia.

Considering it would take over 20 hours, utopia is a good word. I'm with you on this one. I'm not so much a fan of the list draft that Yahoo does, but I wouldn't mind doing an e-mail draft. I just hope that the folks in the league don't bicker so much that it's not any fun for anyone the rest of the year.

What would be the advantage of e-mail over Yahoo using your pre-draft selection? I can see the advantage that you can adapt your strategy while drafting, disadvantage would be that we have to start months before the season..

Re: LJFBL

I think it is pretty important in a Roto-style league (which is what this one appears to be) where you have to have balance. You really do need to adjust your strategy as you go. I know every time I've done the pre-draft list selection, I always waive my last three or four guys before the season starts because they are just worthless.

True, I always try to check more often the days that the auto-draft can be, first choice in left over free agents. The disadvantage is equal for everyone though..

Where did you get the bumber of new LJ-ers from?

I think it was hoodcity who had a link in his journal. I'm not sure anymore, I forgot to mark it...
