If you also look at my forum stats, I joined Sports Mogul in June of 2002, and only posted about 300 post in my first 2 years there...and was stuck with OOTP3, 4 and 5. I heavly played OOTP during this time. OOTP back than was a crawl, but still fun

I have only posted around 100 post in 6 years here on the forums. I do check in but infrequently.
Around April of 2004, I joined Baseball Mogul Online, since than, I kind of stopped playing OOTP, and became one of the biggest supporters of Mogul, mostly due to the online play is the best in the genre. (and it still is), BMO doesn't compete against OOTP at all. During this time, I bought OOTP5, 6, and 6.5, and then bought Pure Sim, BM2k5,6,7,8 and then 9,
In December I bought OOTP8 and wasn't impressed, I have no idea why. It was still very slow...then I preordered OOTP9.
I was hooked right away with OOTP9
