Most staff did not understand the tech stuff but that was all good, they focused on the in-game keeping users happy and a fun community, I feel the trouble mainly started when retros started selling items, putting ads on the sites because then it went from a fun or learning project for most people into a business, when you bring money into something the fun goes and the ruthless attitude of "hurt my money" comes out so people started with hacking, ddossing and intimidating more.If someone came to me, had a good tech understanding but did not have the finance to fund a good solid server on a decently protected setup I would think of partnering but would not look to earn from VIP or ads, just have it as a base for a laugh with people.</blockquote>
