Archive Folded League Records

Is there any way you (Admin) could archive league histories and records for those that have folded. It is sad to have put in time and effort over many seasons only to have ZERO record of it if a league happens to fold.
Thank you for your consideration.

That is an excellent idea and I was thinking the same thing in terms of 'well, this sucks. I can never see what my team did in League-73."

Something along the lines of one being able to pull up the league but at the top there's a 'cause to action' red lettering or something which indicates the league is defunct but here's its history.

This is an idea that should be implemented as it is sad to lose all record of a league existing

I appreciate this suggestion, but allow me to explain why I have chosen to do this.

There are two major costs to running this site. The #1 cost is the storage required for all of the data for each league. This cost increases of course the longer a league exists. The #2 cost is the cost required to run the servers to sim the games. But that pales compared to #1. The reason leagues shut down and data gets removed when they get empty is because, without people actively playing in a league, I can't cover the cost to store the data of the league; it's as simple as that. The only viable solution would be to change the model to one where everyone pays maybe a monthly subscription instead of having ads on the site or buying credits, but I believe that would significantly reduce membership and hurt the game as a whole, so instead I have chosen to make it free to play if you choose to do so. The compromise on that point is that, if a league is not being played in, the data for it goes away. The exception of course is that if you have a custom league, that league will not shut down if it is below the minimum threshold, because someone did pay for that benefit.

As always David, thank you for all you do and I'm sure this is a thought shared by many!
