You could say celebrating 80th season would be nonsense but when you look at how long of a time period its been from season 1 to season 80 every season is worth of celebrating. But lets keep it every 5 or 10 seasons for now

I think the 80th season is a good reason for celebrating. Because it must be remembered that this league has been around for a long time.

80 definitely gets snubbed when it comes to being celebrated, 75 is the much more noticeable and favored milestone, but 80 is still a tens place and is an easy fraction to remember, 4/5, so it is still an important milestone.

Getting to 80 seasons honestly does sound like something to celebrate, it just doesn't feel as grand as 100. However, just because I really like money, I would suggest celebrating with a 2.8x media and GFX week so that this milestone is truly memorable!

80 seasons is cool.  Heck 80 of anything is pretty cool however it isn't what is traditionally considered a "milestone" event or anniversary.  We should save up big stuff until the 100th season.

I think every decade mark is worth celebrating. Even if it is a relatively minor one, it's not like the happen every couple of weeks; it should be celebrated

As you might have guessed, or not, based on me writing this I don't think S80 is similar level of milestone as 75 was. It is nice to get to next tens but ultimately I don't see need for anything extra

Season 80 is a joke, but we should normalize celebrating off seasons. Talk to me in Season 86 and we can have a real celebration.

I don’t think it’s worth having a big celebration, other than a mention here and there before the first few games of the season. The 100th season will be the next big milestone and should be celebrated massively. Having every tenth season as a milestone is not serious enough.

80 is a pretty good milestone, but honestly everyone's just counting down for 100. The only other important number is 69, and we passed that one already so now we wait.

Yes, the 80th season should be celebrated -- I mean, you don't really celebrate your 25th or 35th birthday in a grandiose way similar to how you'd celebrate your 30th or 40th (in theory), right? I think I should get 80 TPE for free for it, personally.

Thanks @Amidships!

Every season should be a landmark for this league, it’s an amazing accomplishment to have such a great userbase for such a long time, I believe we’re pretty near the 15th year Anniversary of the site even!

In dog years the league is super incredibly dead. In real life years the league is what, a pre-teen? New teenager? I don't know. Either don't sound super appealing. Seriously though congrats and stuff.

thank you amid, swoosh and eni for sigs! <3

I think every season is a milestone on its own, regardless of the number. Sure, 75 is a normal milestone number, but 80 is another good one to celebrate. However, I'm gonna celebrate every season as a milestone because every new season means another season of watching Greyson Willis light the lamp.

every new season played is a good milestone people just like to celebrate round milestones like 75 , 80, 100 but still 80 seasons is great for any sim league its even better looking at how old this league is
