Didn't really think it had a chance from how long the draft took tbh. It's not a fault on Solidus or anything, but the number of teams. 12 was the original goal, we settled for 10, but I think even that was a big undertaking. We should've started with 8, then expanded once season 2 rolled around. It'd have more traction, which would entice more people to sign up.
Moving this to a poke-centric site for season 2 is the best idea, and I think that's what Solidus is aiming for. It'll mean higher competion, and less forum draws though.
