Does anyone know if Dustin's post was made either on the main site itself or on the message boards where all participants can see it or just on the part where only a select few can see it?

[/QUOTE]It's certainly curious. I'm not sure why an update about the state of an event wouldn't be shared with every participant in the event. Don't those people deserve to know what's going on as well?

what ever happened to the people that got stiffed by affl or ffoc or fantasy jungle. i know i have seen this asked before but i don't remember ever seeing a answer The people never got paid in full, at least not that I know of. I believe the winner of the AFFL grand prize was suing the original owners, but I don't know the latest on that one. I believe Bald Is Beautiful is helping him with that lawsuit. FFOC paid all of its cash prizes in full, but there were free leagues won that weren't fulfilled because the contest ceased the next year. And Fantasy Jungle's owners just disappeared without ever paying off the prizes from the year before.

Everyone lost there and it looks the same way with the two other contests from this year. [/QUOTE]We settled the lawsuit, and that is about all I am able to say. Sorry. I'd like to say more, believe me.

At least something was said for a change. Of course nothing will probably be said for another six months or so.

Wow, I didn't know that Jack. So the AFFL champion settled with the previous owners? Were any other past winners paid? Interesting here.

i see there is heavy censoring on the wcoff boards. posts were removed that asked "with the transaction dead, will checks be issued to prize winners ASAP"
