* * * Did you know? There are 16495 active teams in FUMBBL
With all of these teams each one has a separate name which means out of the Infinite names possible 16495 of the ones people thought of first are gone (including my very origional IvanTheCow's Necromantic Team) so i was thinking how about as sort of a either 1 time or annual or even bi-annual thing we can delete old teams from our retired teams list so as these names can be used again. It would be something that would only happen if the coach wanted it to happen and all of the W/L/D stats would remain on the coaches info (although any Top so and so players would have to be either deleted or go into a hall of fame sort of state where there wouldnt be a link to there old team just its name) I for one would just like to be able to use some of my old team names again for teams that i had to retire after 1 or 2 games.

Why not just remake the team as "Ivan the Cow's Necromantic Team", for example? |

Well, you couldn't do that for all teams Wombat. Like say.. 'Brilliant Insanity'. You could perhaps change the wording a little, but then it would be obvious that it was used before.
That's not to say I agree with Ivan though. I don't, I think it's fine the way it is. Sometimes I vaguely think about having a previous team name I retired, but there are endless team names and combinations unused still so..  |

Basically, they can't do that because all the teams are interlinked. All your match reports link to all teams you've played. Those teams like to teams they've played and so on that most teams in a given division are interconnected. Deleting old teams leads to a lot of dead links and hassle. |

So why not make it so that when a team is retired their name automatically changes to BLAH (R) then that name is still open, and it won't change a thing to the game results links because they are linked to team #s not team names. |

Why fix something that isn't broken? Think of a new name go for Ivanthecowshaggers Necrophiliac Team. Be imaginative! |

Because that screws up the whole objective of long term persistant stats. I might want to go back and see how I did against Cool Team X, but then I go looking and it's not there, or the name has changed and I can't find it.
There is no shortage of good names. If you have a team who's name you really like, and it has a bad first couple of games, consider the fact that you will lose the name if you give up and retire them as another motivation to actually stick it out. |
