Day trading has been seriously reduced.

It will never go away entirely, and it really shouldn't be.

If someone can pull if off successfully in this restrictive climate, more power to them.

bb doesnt necessarily need more users but they need more supporters. more useres only make the game more difficult to manage for the BBs.
Apparently getting more users is oney way of getting more supporters, the other way is increasing the percentage of supporters.

True, but I think in most games there is a pretty steady proportion of people how will play to play and will be long time supporters. What that percentage is I have no idea.

I think that Spain and Italy, the countries with the most teams (about 1/3 of all teams) weren't having teams deactivated. It must have been fixed so it made it seem like a bigger drop than usual.

mmh im actually find a competition with 50000 people more interesting than one with 500, just for me. also more people give much more ideas, influences, fun, value and so on. also i like to test things before i pay and one of my other personal opinions is that i like free stuff more then stuff i have to pay for.

I think supporter is a bit expenisve. I currently play 4 basketsim sites including this one. I'm a supporter in two of those. Together they cost me 29,90 Euros, with the conversion rate i got off the net of 1 E=1.46$. If i did my math right i rounded the euors to 30 and i got $43.80 ( in one game yu have to buy a package for 13 monthes so the 43.80 covers one game for 12 monthes and the other for 13 monthes). BB alone costs $40 (per year), it's not that i don't have the money, i mean i just don't feel like it's worth it. What are everyone else's thoughts? Also, one year of X-box live costs $50 and a good game used ussally costs 30-40$ which are funner than BB. Yes i used funner!!!

You're probably right about supporter being too expensive. I don't actually have supporter but based on what I've read about it, it really doesn't offer enough. I know you don't want tog ive supporters advantages but there are so many things that can be done to improve supporter and making it more worthwhile.

I also think that the rules pafe is far to vague. They need to get a lot more detailed so people have a clue what they're doing when they come to the site rather than having no clue what they're doing and wasting 3/4 of their money on the first day buying arena upgrades.

Don't forget Private Leagues - that in itself is a compelling reason.

That's very true but I still think they can expand on supporter. I'm sure if they asked for improvements from users you'd get tons of replies. It's not something they should be quick to get done though. They're doing a good job working on the game as it is. Once everything is settled in though, it's something they might want to consider.

The BB team is always exploring new Supporter features.

They will come in due time.
