But we've seen a couple people in this thread too who says that they enjoyed the process. This a big community with a lot of users and they all have different opinions. For example, I think that VHL had an automatic updates back in the SHL S20's already and I joined them both. VHL was too easy and boring, so I came here where you actually need to put in some effort with updating. And still after tens of replies I haven't heard why we don't have at TPE earns descriptions link to exact place where we received those TPE. However, good job programming wise. I respect your work, but I personally do not enjoy it yet. Hopefully, it will change and we will have that much users that we will be able to expand the league in couple of seasons.
VHL's portal has only been around for less than 2 years. It is actually less automated than ours. I will say that the point of the portal is to increase signups and retention above all else. Yes many of our oldest members weren't leaving without it, but our retention of new players has been getting worse and worse. If we want to grow the community and the league we need something like this. I guess what I'm trying to say is this isn't really about you and the response from new users so far has been very positive. I guess time will tell if it actually helps what we expect it will.
