I read your post and wondered if my MSN messenger had been cancelled - haven't logged in in some time. I opened the program (MSN Messenger) from my desktop and everything *seems* to be in working order?
Are you talking about something different? If yes, you might want to try Messenger (linked to a free Hotmail email account) as it seems to be working?
Also, Fantasyauctioneer.com chat room is certainly a good option. I am a big fan of that product in general. But I will say that I have had bug issues on days other than the noted crash. I had a reserve auction lock up, exited, and when I returned the draft restarted with all human player teams unchanged but all computer team rosters cleared. Kept doing this. I think they fixed that bug. I had another draft that worked fine until the reserve draft and the reserve draft crashed. (I think the separate snake draft reserve may be a new feature this year? Maybe not totally up to speed?)
It's a good product. But it does have issues from time to time.
