I should add that I would love to see advertising like the old days and a mega shiny new app but I realise that at this point any investment is a massive risk and it isn't my money and business that would suffer if it failed.

Massive Risk? We are talking about a five digit investment. Likely as much as Utopia made...

If it isn't that much I suppose you want to put the money up?

Utopia probably did make a fair bit and really we can all only guess as to the games finances but its worth remembering the upkeep costs of a site like BB, plus obviously Marin gets paid for his time and the original BBs will make some.

If I was the owner/s (who even is that?), I would definitely not want to invest a ton of cash into a game which won't survive in its current form for too many years to come.

revenue streams need to be improved, one thing I think would be a slam dunk so to speak would be to add commercials in between periods, there is three minutes that are going to tick off no matter what, might as well let google adwords pop up a few ads geared towards that particular persons shopping habits, it is already done now with the banner ads.

There are 182 users on line right now! That shows the vigor of the game, right? Three cheers!

Perhaps I was a little too optimistic there. Tonight it is "139 online at 19:08:50." Is 139 users a big enough number to sustain our enthusiasm?

Looks like this is the week the population will dip under 20k, took a little longer than some thought.


referrals referrals referrals that is the key, not like management is going to plunk down a bunch of cake for a google campaign anytime soon.

Sorry, but I think "fix the obvious problems with the game" is the key. Think they are going to do that? Think there is any earthly way we can get them to fix it?

The game has bugs, glitches, nuances, but all things considered this runs pretty well, I am just saying it is up to the players to determine the games future by spreading the word.

There is no incentive to do that and I can't recommend the game as it is right now. The problems for new teams to get it going are just too much...
