Hey guys, I'm sorry to say I'm going to stop running Dynasty Five.
It's been a good few years. We've had over 20,000 posts. I've spent a hell of a lot of time running this place and it's been really great to share this little corner of the internet during the time we have, especially with such enthusiastic and friendly members.
I'm sorry to all you guys, because you have put lots of effort into your teams and were building them towards something special. Maybe one day I'll start this place up again. But I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future. My masters degree takes up such a massive amount of time, and I'm also looking for post-masters employment and spending time doing lots of other things.
Thanks everyone! Good luck and goodbye!
*Boston*

wow...shocking...
Thanks for all Boston! I can't even imagine how its hard to keep sim leagues like this one while having tons of work and trying to have some time to study... This was my 1st sim league and thank god that I started with one of the best! It was really fun trying to make the Minnesota Timberwolves a nice team, and so far my work wasnt that bad ;D . Good luck and have a good life!

Everything great comes to an end. Props on the best sim league I've ever been in. Probably the last too.

Aww dudes, thanks for your kind words. It makes me really sad to close down D5. It's been part of my daily routine for over 2 years! I'll miss you guys!

Thanks for the good times man. I hope you don't close down these boards though, it'll be fun to check in once and awhile and keep up with the rest of the guys. Good luck on real life man.

Thanks for two years of by far the best sim league I've ever been in Boston. All of your hard work and dedication has been really appreciated, and I wish you the best of luck with your post-masters future.
Its been a blast guys, and I'm gonna miss sending out lowball offers to all of you. And just in case anybody is wondering, the Yao and Wade led New York Knicks would go on to sweep the mightly Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals this season. Also, Philadelphia would go on to select Tyler Hansbrough with the #1 overall pick. Their GM would be fired shortly thereafter.
Damn, I never would have thought the shutting down of a sim league could be so sad. Just goes to show how great a place you put together Boston. Long live D5...

I havent been here as long as some of you guys, but I love every minute of it. D5 has been my favourite sim league and I'm very sad it has to end. But just like the Chinese saying, "All feast must come to an end," and it seems we have reached ours here. Good luck for your life outside of D5, Boston, and the same goes to all of you other guys. Its been a blast!
p.s. I presume there is no more D6 as well then?

Somewhat new here myself, and was glad to start making the team my own a little, but I definitely understand the real world taking over.
Good luck with everything Boston, and to everyone in the league. If you're in either, I'll see you guys in Rim and Legends (though both have some shakiness themselves).
Later all.

Thanks for all your kind words guys Maybe I'll start it up again once I've finished my masters. If I do I'll email all your accounts, so make sure your account email addresses are ones you check regularly. come on BOS. atleast you should have said end of a remarkable dynasty or something like that. That goes without saying though! This wasn't the kind of sim league which just let achievement die. It was one in which the members will live on for as long as this forum exists, in the Hall of Fame and in all the posts!
