I do not have the time to run the OT, not at all. But I can't see just deleting and writing off years of effort and preparation. I'll keep the team going as at high a level as I can. Eventually I either figure out how to squeeze it into the schedule more (and what the heck to do!) or I find a good OC DC team.

Having been around CJ for as long as I have I can flat out tell you that is not his MO. No way he would do this thing half assed. Though I am sad to se him and the team go I am glad he will still be around in a capacity that suits him. One of the true good dudes I have met ni this game and had the pleasure of interacting with.

This. It's not in my nature to just exist @ the Pro level nor do I find it fair to the players who have spent real money to boost every season. It's not that there aren't fun aspects of the game, there are. Personally, if there were 30 hours in a day, I'd enjoy the coordinating aspect a hell of a lot more.

As far as writing off years of effort.... That's just not true. We all had a blast while it was going full throttle. Also, keep in mind that making it to Pro used to be a bigger accomplishment than it currently is. Take a look around. How many teams have "earned" a spot @ the pro level? This is not to say that everyone who is here doesn't deserve to be, there are a hell of a lot of great teams, great coordinators, and well-oiled machines across the board. The fact is though, with so many teams disbanding, rebuilding, and moving around the current promotion system has teams being bumped up to the next level every season... some well before they should be. If I have the urge, and time, to take on the responsibility again I'm sure we'll have just as much fun making the climb.

Thanks for the kind posts (and PM's) fellas.

Wow...two of our most exciting sims the past two seasons have been defeats to you guys. Just when you were really starting to irritate me, you're packing it up. Can't say that I blame you with the intensity it takes to field a winner. At some point, you just have to say "enough".

We're not at the point yet, and if you have some agents looking for good homes, I hope they consider our team as a destination, assuming we have an opening.

Vanuatu, the challenge of beating you guys will be missed. After you guys hang it up, after the playoffs, it you're interested in visiting our team forum to see what we thought about you guys pre and post game, let me know and you can have access.

love this team, really hate to see it go

Ditto.

CJ is one of the guys that I respect A LOT in this game. We had some fierce but friendly rivalries (when this game actually had rivalries) with Banzai Nites and VKS in OPRO. I was one that joined forces on the rebuild. CJ has been nothing but a hard worker, honest, straight forward guy. I have nothing but good words and respect for the way he pours everything into trying to build a winner. I support his decision 100 percent if that is what he chooses. VKS was just starting to be a well oiled machine. It is sad to see this team move on, but I understand the reasoning. As a father of two small children, I understand how real life takes priority. You cant ever get those precious moments back with your kids. Enjoy your family and enjoy GLB for what it is.....a game. Games should be fun. When a game becomes more work than you have the time for, then its time to make a change.

RIP VKS..........salud!

farewell VKS, one of Oceanias originals

hope you stay around in OPL CJ!

Sorry to hear this. GL guys.
