Well I suppose for one thing, the league host "owns" the league... its could be argued its not for anyone else to take it away?
it would be a very difficult one to work I think, because what do you class as "abandoned".
I know the BRL league needed pretty much daily attention to keep it active, were another league I am in, the league host disappeared for 2 months and came back.
And how do you choose who should run the league? Just because your active, it doesnt mean you will be a good host.
I think any system where is automatically changes league hosts would be problematic.
I guess its why Jack has avoided (as far as I know) requests to manually reassign league owners etc.
I think someone previously suggested "co-hosts" or a secondary host?
if given the choice i will look into all the teams and decide to remove them, i will remove a good few of them, leave a few behind and let more players join in, eventually i will do away with the other inactives. since the system takes care of the league part, only thing on my end is to keep everything the way it is. time, car numbers per team and so on.
to be fair though, how long is long enough before it it is long enough that the host in question clearly has been out too long and it should be given to someone else. i don't care if it is me or JC Skyfire, as long as the active manager has control of it then so be it.
also what happens if a league host wishes to leave and keep their league going? having that ability for the game itself to transfer the ownership to another manager would be beneficial as well.
