Don't agree with all that Angela has been blabbing but I agree that PC
multiplayer games have killed PBM. Yep, MadC is getting big,big,big.. but I
think getting bigger's the minority these days.
MadC might be just mopping up the small pool of people hovering around
around in hope.
 Is it possible that such large companies will hit a roof in the next year
or so and then perhaps start to gradually shrink?

The Steak joke was quite ironic agreed - think people as usual (Anj esp.)
are treating the Hobby far too seriously again. Doubtless we'll argue about
it sometime soon - just hope she's not got crockery to hand this time..
As a co-member of Wyvern with Anj I'd certainly think we'd be around for at
LEAST another 3 months - we've been going for ten years so three months
should be a piece of piss..

That said, we copped-out ages ago and decided we didn't want the cash but
didn't want to fold either - We're servicing a good amount of players but
will never turn any kind of profit even if we wanted to - BUT, we have
improved since the days when people paid to play and will probably be
getting better still in the future
