We're still busy putting the finishing touches on it and now plan to open it up next Tuesday, August 25th.
Last time I checked, OS visitors are not fans of half finished, bug-filled products so I figured it would be best for us to spend a few more days putting the final touches on it instead of rushing it out the door just to hit our date. Stay tuned for more info as the new release date draws closer.

We are looking to build a team of 3-4 Fantasy Football Reporters who will be responsible for keeping everyone up to date with all of the fantasy news on a daily basis.
If you're an avid Fantasy Football player and think you would enjoy this role, please send a quick email to matt (at) operationsports.com with some information on why you're the right person for the job.

We want to advertise the t-shirts outside of the forums, and the best way to do this is with a small banner that will be located in our left menu.
If anyone is interested in putting together a banner (dimensions 240H x 160W) and submitting it to us we will pick the best one and give the winner a game of their choice (max value $59.99).
We're open to ideas on how the banner looks, however we'd like a picture of the OS T-Shirts (see attachment) to be included, and some text that says "New OS T-Shirts Now Available".
Submit your entries by replying to this blog post.

OS IM allows you to chat with your OS friends in real-time by utilizing a Facebook style chat bar that is available at the bottom of all OS pages. The only requirement is that you need to be registered and logged in to see it and use it.
OS IM is the first step towards making interacting with your friends and fellow sports gamers simpler and more accessible here at OS.
If OS IM is not for you, you can disable it by going to User CP > Edit Options.
Not seeing OS IM?
We recommend logging out and logging back in again. If this does not work, you may need to clear your OS cookies from your browser.

Those who frequent Facebook will be familiar with how this works. Essentially there will be a permanent IM bar at the bottom of every page on OS allowing you to see which of your OS friends are online and chat to them in real-time.
There is no need for you to install anything or register anywhere. As long as you are logged in to OS the chat bar will be available to you.
If this is not your thing or you just don't want to be bugged by your buddies you can easily sign out of the chat bar while still remaining logged in to OS.
Here is a screenshot of it in action:

Recently our outstanding coder, Diego, informed us that he would be leaving OS to concentrate on new opportunities. Most of what you see around you here at OS was coded by Diego. His professional attitude and high quality of work will be greatly missed. Diego's departure though opens the door for a new coder to join OS.
Although this is not a full time job, it is definitely a paid position.
If you are qualified and have the time to commit to developing exciting new features for OS please send an email to matt(at)operationsports.com with some information on why you're the person for this role.

Personally, I love sports. I love sports so much that I'm not just content with watching them on TV or participating in them in real life, but I also want to simulate them in the video games I play. So I'm a sports fan who also likes video games. Let us know what you are by voting in the poll in the right menu of our front page or by clicking here.

Personally, 2008 has been a huge year for me. Not only did I drastically increase my involvement with OS, but I also left my job at EA after having spent 4 years there. My wife and I also relocated from Canada back to my original home country of Australia. 2008 was very exciting for me, in large part thanks to the success and growth of Operation Sports.
Here are some interesting stats:
- Over 3 million unique people visited Operation Sports in 2008
- They generated over 100 million page views
- They spent an average of 9.52 minutes on the site each time they visited
- 82% were from the USA, 5.5% from Canada, 2.2% from UK and 1.2% from Australia
- 47% used Internet Explorer to browse, 43% Firefox and 5% Safari
- 91% were used Windows while 6.6% were on a Mac
- 1024x768 was the most popular screen resolution (30%) followed by 1280x800 (20%)
- 30% of our traffic came from Google
- Top search words that led to OS were “operation sports” (9%), “nba 2k9” (4%) and maddenmania (2.5%)
- Over 27,000 new members registered at Operation Sports
- Over 55,000 new threads were posted in the Operation Sports Forums
- Over 1 million new posts were posted in the Operation Sports Forums
2009 will be a big year for OS, there is no doubt about it. We're well positioned to expand even further based off of the ever increasing interest and quality of the new sports games scheduled for release. We're busy expanding our site's feature set to build off of the new generation of sports games that focus heavily on online interaction.
In closing, I wanted to thank everyone who made OS a regular destination in 2009. It has been a great experience being heavily involved with OS over the past 12 months, and I look forward to continuing this into 2009 and beyond.
Merry Christmas!
