Domain and hosting has been purchased. Website is AFBC.us however there is no content on the site yet, I do have a web design professional who will be getting me up and running within a week. The FTP for game files should be accessible within the next 2 to 3 days. This league is officially in motion. We are starting in the early years and I plan on this league lasting and expanding over the next decade of my life if not longer.

HandyEric3 · 02-28-2015, 11:39 PM

I hate to sound picky but since this is a fictional league, I would prefer that you did not use a nickname that was used historically for a team.

I'll grab Buffalo and name them the Senecas

HandyEric3 · 03-01-2015, 07:35 AM

Jpeters, first you wanted New York, then you wanted Boston… I'm confused… are you a Boston fan or are you just trying to troll Boston fans? Lol I would think that the "Boston Yankees" would be sacrilegious to most Boston fans

lol no you misread my comment. You told the Boston guy to name it fictional. I told him he should name them the yankees.

HandyEric3 · 03-01-2015, 08:16 AM

Hahaha woops! Did you decide on a team nickname for your New York team yet?

I wanted it to be blank and for them to be referred to as New York City BC, but it you must have a nickname, I'll go with the Blues
