MACPicks Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I've had several people ask me about the pickem site so I wanted to get this post up for anyone wondering. Long story short, my webhost stopped supporting the database program I use to run the pickem site. I keep thinking I will get around to educating myself enough to re-do it and get it up and running, but I've finally accepted that it just isn't going to happen. With 3 young kids, a demanding job and coaching & administering youth sports...I just can't find the time. As some of you know, the site started as a college project 15 years ago. I was a dual MIS/Accounting major, and my career went the accounting route. Because of that, my programming skills are severely outdated and limited but as long as my archaic crotchety old website worked I kept running it. The timing was not ideal, the migration hit just a few weeks ago leaving a short window. I'm hopeful I can get to it over the coming year and come back in 2018 with a revamped site, and we can view Pick Em 2017 like we do MLB 1994. I apologize for not having it up and running and thank those of you who have played over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thank you all the work you've done over the years to keep all of us MAC basketball fans entertained. When I tried to log onto the site the other day and saw that it had gone away I was disappointed. I hope that you find the time and energy to bring it back soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for making the effort. I look forward to when you get it up and rolling again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
