Happy Fifth Birthday!

Happy Birthday Community!
Today marks five years of APBA GO Baseball’s availability.
I’ve had the privilege of being involved for most of that time, and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing it grow from a simple experience into the complicated product it is today. I’ve also watched the community grow, with familiar names contributing and helping others repeatedly over the years, making it a pretty amazing place to be.
Ironically, while the project has grown and become more complicated, the team behind it remains small, focused, and dependent on the community for its direction and success. Our goals continue to be to expand and enrich the features available to you while creating a more reliable experience for all.
As a web-centric, multi-platform application, this is not always easy. Portions of the product require significant work to refactor in order to meet our goals of implementing Master game functionality. After the Holiday season we’ll go quiet for a few months to focus on the game engine code base, surfacing with updates in early Q2 2022. Some days it feels like we’re taking two steps forward and one step back, but, with your help, we’re getting there.
We hope that your leagues, cross-country games with your brother, World Series replays with your friends on other continents, season replays, tournaments, weird and unlikely matchups, fantasy season completions, direct challenges, time spent playing against Malcolm and Pedro, and gigabytes of generated baseball statistics continue to meet your need for quality APBA content.
It is our continued honor and pleasure to do our best to keep you entertained.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Well done, well said and much thanks. May we all keep in perspective and factor what you and the team have to do when making requests and pointing out problems and glitches. Your patience is admirable.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Congrats on five years to you and the GO crew. Still recall when GO first launched, and how much I enjoyed it from Day #1… initial gremlins and all.
First bought APBA in 1974, as a 14-year-old. GO gives me a chance to still play online games with my 86-year-old Dad, who lives 200 miles away. We set up Zoom calls and it’s like we’re again playing across the the kitchen table from each other.
Keep up the great work in improving the game. Am always impressed by how quickly you guys seem to respond to bug notes to GO Support. I continue to be a big fan.
