Well, I started a poll last season and since that poll, BB has lost almost 10,000 users. So, let's see when BB will drop under 30K.

And I thought it was funny that the winning choice in last seasons poll was....It will never drop below 40K...hahahaha!
I think the question isn't IF but WHEN!!

BTW...I have to fix my mistake....the winning date was May 13th....that means BB is sicker than I thought.
It took 6 months to lose 3,500 users and then from May 13th BB has lost 6,000 users in 5 months. Yikes!!

I was thinking X-Mas too but decided to go with the 1st Monday in 2014. It can't really drop 3400 users in two months can it? Or can it?

It's sad to see all those people leaving the game, BB-s should do something to keep the old users and to get new one..

This is where we hold them!

and just what do you really propose?? This is a thinking persons game, most people don't like to think. It took me quite a while to actually get into this game, I just happened to keep up with it enough to keep the account active, then I started to get more engaged and went from there.

I chose May 12, because if it ever drops below 30,000, and it's after April 28, I will get it right. I think that's the most likely outcome.

Why are you bothering with this?
You posted elsewhere that the game is not fun for you anymore.
You would take half your supporter payment back and go home, so...
It seems to me that you are enjoying the lost members and are actually hoping for more.
Just stop playing and bringing the rest of the users down with these negative vibes

Why? Because I did it last year. And, everyone likes a good countdown to doom. We have had Y2K before 2000, then we had the countdown to the world ending last year due to the Mayans clock running out. So now we have the second edition of the Buzzerbeater countdown to 29,999. (Last one was 39,999)
Hey, if the game User base were increasing every week, then I wouldn't have posted this poll, but 10K users leaving in 12 months, that is interesting in a bad way.

PS. Leave while I still have supporter left...that is crazy. I guess you throw money away everyday but I don't.

I don't like good countdowns to doom

You act like there is a big inevitable fate for this game. I play a baseball manager game that currently has just around 750 managers, and it's still fun. It would take over three years for BuzzerBeater to reach so few users. Trends don't last that long. I'm predicting right now that BuzzerBeater will be over 50,000 users again before it shuts down. Someone write that down. Stop letting yourself get scared by a number that is probably just momentarily dropping.
