League looking for a commish, think our commish flaked

Watch out for this Steve guy below. He started our league, ran 1 sim, updated 1 file, and processed 3 trades, and then shut the website down for maintanance and I spoke with some people and found out he shut the website down himself. Why start a league, pay for a site, get a very active, good, older group of mature owners together and then let them all down by flaking out without even an explanation. We would be willing to continue the league without him, but he didnt even have the courtesy to let us know it was too much for him and give us the chance to take over the payments from the site hosted by Fidel and give us the commish password so we could continue without a pause. Now Bob and I are going out and getting a new site from Fidel and we are having to modify the roster set and get everything up the way it was for the league to continue. Now we dont mind doing this but the guy should have had the courtesy to give us something, at least a small, explanation. We had 4 or 5 owners on the forums on at any given time and 15-20 owners on aim at all times and everyone was active. We had 30 trades made within 3 days. The guy just vanished, and took down the site, deleted the email addy he used for the league, and wont log into AIM or the forums here. It is just kinda shady. And we thought the ootp community would want to know.

Thanks for keeping the league going.

It was a great league...except for that one little problem...

I just tried the above link to the website, but I got a 'page not found' error.

Thanks again

There's an extra hyphen at the end of the link; remove that and you'll get to the site. It says it's down for maintenance as of 2:25 PM EST, though.
