Actually Kickabout is still running so is Spellbinder Games.

kickabout was never `ripped off' from anybody though a certain somebody did
try to infer this. It was designed by us, developed by us and is still run
by us. Currently there are eighteen leagues running of four division of
twelve, and all leagues are 90% full all played by human managers which is
more than can be said for most football PBM games nowadays.

Whoever you are (why not put your name to emails), Kickabout results have
never been and never are manipulated. It's a pure test of skill which is why
the game is played worldwide, and why 32 players will be descending on us in
October to play the game face-to-face.

Anybody want any more details then just let me know.
