I'm wondering if you're referring to this, that was in this thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=154917

OOTP Online will be a subscription-based online league version of OOTP, that will be marketed towards fantasy baseball players. OOTP Online would use the OOTP engine for simulating, but would be competely hosted, and would be largely automated. OOTP Online would not replace OOTP 9, nor would it eliminate support for online leagues in OOTP 9. Some of the planned features for OOTP Online include:

• A web-based front end where GMs can submit transaction changes even when away from their PCs
• A "lite" OOTP client that would receive a "changes-only" file from the server each sim, eliminating large file downloads.
• An integrated message board within the lite client, so that GMs can access the league message board from within the game
• An integrated chat program within the lite client, so that GMs can chat with each other
• A points-based subscription system where leagues could win points that could be used to pay for subsequent seasons, etc.
• Support for historical leagues, something that has never really been present in the fantasy baseball world.

There is no release date for OOTP Online as of yet, but it will be after OOTP 9. We're very excited about this, and really feel it can help bring OOTP to a completely new audience.
