Hey guys,
Good news and Bad news. The good news definitely outweighs the bad though so that's a good thing. We officially have a web host, decided to go with the highly recommended Allsimsbaseball.com. They specialize in hosting OOTP leagues so its perfect.
The bad news is it was a little bit of a process to get signed up with them and as a result it took a little longer than I want as I was weighing other options and trying to decide what was best for the league long term not just to get us up and running the fastest.
In order for me to get AllSims to host our league, I had to create a new paypal account as my other one had nothing but issues and with that, you have to wait 2 business days for them to make 2 deposits in your account to verify everything. I finally got that confirmation from them and immediately signed up with AllSims so now I am just waiting for them to officially get us set up. I think its 1-2 days.
My question is how does everyone want to proceed right now? should we wait 2 days and I can go over contracts, double check everything or should I load the official file and then try to host it to AllSims, other options?
Let me hear from you. I know this is a bit of a process like I said before but in the fast filling of the league and trying to make sure we do this right, I think its the right way of handling the league as we got a lot of great owners and any mistakes right out of the gate can ruin a lot of things.

Well, could you maybe at least load a file with scouting off so we can start to maybe build trade blocks?
We just want something to play with = )

Still can't get this to work - just comes up with 'Parallel download, your computer is already downloading a file please wait until this is finished or buy a premium account' Have checked and no file is being d/l, just a scam to get you to pay

I think you need to check again Nigel. I'm downloading a 64.9mb file right now, after reading your last post. Admittedly, it's a tad slow,but the file is downloading as I type this.

My computer just doesn't seem to like this site, I've been trying to get a d/l of this file for two days and it just keeps telling me that I'm already d/ling a file and that I should buy a premium membership to fix it. At work now but will try again when I get home this afternoon

Is this the file with the scouts disabled? Or is it the same as the other one? Just want to make sure I don't download this one needlessly. Thanks.

Yah, it does have the scouts off.
Also, too, did the folks who had a hard time downloading it. Did you wait the 60 seconds for the advertisement to finish?

The new file should hold us over. Take the time you need to get it right.

I never even got as far as an advert - it just said straight away that my IP address was d/l a file and I should wait untill it finished or pay. I think it is to do with the way my ISP handles IP addresses

Another update: I am at work for a few more hours but just got an email saying site is ready. When I get home, I will play around with it and see what I can do. Even if I just throw league file on there tonight for those struggling with other ones.
