Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Is MaddenMania dead? When you hit the link for it on OS it says it has been closed and sends you back there. I had a football dynasty there so I am kind of curious.

MM has been dead since February.

1) When it says "closed indefinitely", what does that specifically mean? That they plan on re-opening the Maddenmania website, but they don't know exactly when?

2) Will the leadership of Maddenmania now be incorporated into the OS website?

@2...for OSs sake, I would hope not. Unless they are in need of incompetent mods with poor decision making skills and unevenly applying board rules.

There's a cancer or 2 from MM's board that should never get one ounce of authority here @ OS.

I have been updating my football dynasty there regularly until yesterday (July 1)

Right now, we see no particular fit within the OS model that MM specifically fits in. With no developer interaction there at all, and no specific reason to keep it going otherwise when we could offer similar (but better) services at OS, we simply decided to close the forum. It took quite a bit of deliberation as we explored all possible avenues, but it just wasn't meant to be. Traffic had (understandably so) dipped to levels which made it really unfeasible to keep it open. There is always a chance that sometime in the future we could see a need for MaddenMania within our plans again, but that time is not right now. We apologize for any inconvenience and want to thank all of our visitors who stuck with us through thick and thin.
