I keep hearing rumors of occasional sales on SOM. I've not been around long enough to actually see one. First it was Memorial Day, then it was Father's Day, and most recently Labor Day.
Nothing.
Think TSN will ever have another credit sale?
I have to say, I'm probably going to keep buying credits either way, but I'd probably buy a whole boatload and play a lot more if there was ever some kind of sale. At the current price I just can't justify using them up too fast.
And I sure as hell aren't getting any free ones for performance.

Makes sense, what with all of the new traffic and players and whatnot.

When you say they stopped, does that mean that they just haven't had a sale since last year?
Or does it mean that they made an announcement saying "there will be no more sales."?

If one were to take the cynics point of view,
which, of course, I would never do;
then the supposition might be that a sale will occur only when buying goes below a specific amount;
perhaps we haven't reached that? :roll:

i won't pretend to know the cost of running this site. But, I do know this:
I have spent $225 here so far starting with my first team in January and including the 5 pack I bought today. But, at 20 bucks a pop, I think long and hard about cashing in a credit.
If credits were $10 each or maybe 12 for $100, I probably would have spent twice that by now. I'd probably be playing 2 new teams a week.
Now, I know that there is a cost to TSN to upgrade servers or whatever they would have to do to accommodate more play. But, isn't that part of the cost of growth that any business has to consider?
I'm not a business man but am I off in thinking that profit would follow growth?
