Is there any progress to report on the site re-development?
It seems like we're down to a very small number of active players now. If things drag on much more we're going to get to a point soon where you can't get a game together - and at that point I would have thought there's a good chance the site will just die.
Seems to me it's better to do something (even if it's not perfect) rather than fiddle about wondering what to do.

- Kickstarter/GoFundMe. There was talk about getting an appeal up-and-running. I offered to help and did a little bit of work on it - but then it all went quiet. Can't that be pushed forward?
- Advertising. I know some people don't like obtrusive ads. But if money is needed for the site development - well I'm sitting looking at a screen here which has two big empty brown columns down either side. Can't you sell that space. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather use a site that worked with some ads down the sides, than one that doesn't. For what it's worth, if I could afford it my business would buy an ad space.
- Simplify the site. I know nothing about coding and what-not, but as I understand it the key problem is that there is a huge volume of work needed to get all the old functionality up-and-running again. If that's the case can't the site be simplified? You could probably lose half the maps and most of us wouldn't mind. Get the most-used maps running properly again, a working scoreboard, and maybe some tournaments - and you're back in business. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
