i disagree. If v6.5 leagues were doing so well they wouldn't post in the v2006 online league threads looking for owners.

For the first time, i have gotten unsolicited invitations to join several v6.5 leagues. This is because it is getting harder and harder to fill teams when owners leave. i'm in two v6.5 leagues, so i know this first hand.

i think v2006 got a bad rep from solo players that suffered shock from a new interface and online leagues that upgraded too soon. But there are v2006 leagues that are doing well. i'm in one of the them.

v2006 is not perfect. But neither was v6.5. When v2007 comes out (if it is successful) it will no doubt overshadow v2006. But not because v2006 was bad. But because v2007 is better; just like v6.5 was better than v6, like v6 was better than v5, etc.

And i don't doubt that there will be many of the good v6.5 leagues that continue to survive. (Hopefully, PABF and LBA do, if we don't make the switch.) Just like i think there are still a few v5 leagues kicking around.
