Let's go over what Slappy said, for all the people defending him.

Why is this not a priority? You literally cannot even see a box score right now without going on discord and hoping it’s been posted in your LR. This has been an ongoing joke now ever since the ill thought out and rushed jump to FHM. We should never have made the switch until this was worked out. Instead we are going to kill the forum locker rooms, further cementing the idea that the SHL can only be enjoyed if you live on discord.

Slappy voices his frustration about how he hates the current index and is annoyed at why the new index is taking so long and that we should have never switched engines. Cool, he's entitled to that opinion however he does not need to act like a dickhead about it. Especially when you consider the fact that this isn't the first time that he's asked about the new index and that he's been explained multiple times that it is coming soon and that it is not an easy project. Each time he brings up the index, he's an asshole about. Maybe if Slappy were to go about it in a nice way, we wouldn't have a problem where users on the site always dunking on him when they get the chance.

You also do realize that you pay 0$ to enjoy the site yea? I don't know what type of product you expect considering you pay nothing to be apart of the league. You should be thankful that there are people willing to make a fresh index for free when they could be doing something better with their lives instead of always complaining.

Next here's what I reply. I like many other people have in the past try to tell him that a new and improved index will not spawn out of thin air. This is a project that is being done for free by a few users on the site. I tell him that he pays 0$ to enjoy the site yet he expects a product that would easily cost over a thousand dollars from a freelancer.

I’ve created over two hundred hours of podcasts for the site and written a ton of articles for the teams I’ve been on. I have contributed my fair share. I don’t need your patronizing, condescending ass to lecture me and tell me how thankful I should be. I will continue to feel free to react to league announcements however I see fit. You can feel free to keep yammering away at how I should be on my knees thanking the lord I get to enjoy the bountiful harvest of the SHL. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else on here. I owe nothing but whatever time I feel like contributing, which is increasingly less and less.

Now Slappy replies back to me and completely misses the point. Slappy here believes that recording over two hundred hours of podcasts, serving on various committees and writing articles is the same as making a new index completely from scratch. Sure @Slappydoodle those are some great contributions to the site but those contributions will never even be able to come close as to making a product that would cost a lot of money for free. No one will ever pay you real money to make decisions for a fake hockey league or record a podcast where you get drunk with your buddy and talk about fake hockey for an hour. However, making an index from scratch is something that people usually pay for. Again Slappy, you cannot expect a product that would cost real money for free and to be done as soon as possible when you pay 0$ to enjoy this site. People here have lives outside of this website.

Sure, there have been many unnecessary comments that have been made in this thread and I have said a few of them. However, if Slappy were to just not be an asshole about this new index taking long and would actually listen when people were explaining why it's taking so long maybe we wouldn't have people dunking on him.
