I can understand your sentiments, and certainly agree in the short term but...

...in the same way people spoke out in favour of Cantor Exchange far too late to make a difference, my motivation in bringing this up is looking past the sentimentality before the opportunity to save the site in the long term is lost.

I have witnessed many similiar (fundamentally well supported and strong)  businesses go under gone under because of a refusal to confront key issues earlier enough.  The sooner enough people say, 'a few bucks a month to keep HSX going is worth it', the sooner someone comes in and gives DMAC the long term resources to keep doing what he is doing.

Out of interest.. Somerset Jul 01, 22:30

Before anyone gets upset by that question... Somerset Jul 01, 22:36

yeah, i probably would depending on the price...I mean I do play a Summer movie game and that costs to get in... {nm} Apokalips Jul 01, 22:37

what game is that - not sure I have come across it? {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 22:38

Just some game where people (most of whom are in the movie biz) try to predict the top 10 summer movies in order Apokalips Jul 01, 22:46

Yeah, I considered saying that seemed inappropriate, as HSX was still around. But if it was HSX, like it is now, yeah, I'd consider it. {nm} Facto Jul 01, 22:47

I'm having technical issues on my PC, somehow the IM did not get carried through. Facto Jul 01, 23:06

I wonder if this would be better to discuss over on the players board.. ? Facto Jul 01, 23:32

Good idea - will re-post there. Good night! It's 2:30pm here, so I have hours left in me... {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 23:33

The business models for that would closely follow the fantasy sports pay games APRedona Jul 01, 23:11

it's funny you mention this model, as this is what got me asking the question myself... {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 23:18

Nope. considering I don't have a lot of money to throw around I wouldn't be interested {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 02, 03:42

With forum boards? YES Without the boards I can play the derby on BOM. Same format I would pay {nm} damenchipguy Jul 01, 22:48

I don't see HSX closing - Cantor will probably maintain it with a view to selling it on.... TheJman Jul 02, 02:26

Here's a free game that a few hundred people play, and it's been around for close to a decade yesum Jul 02, 07:57
