I'm going to make a request of you, and I'd prefer it if everyone else kept the thread relatively spam-free (unless they have something worth adding) until xptek has answered.

Consider releasing Linkup.

You said that in your opinion, the community isn't worth any effort and expense on your part. Regardless of what I think about that opinion, I can't change it for you. I can only point out that you're talking about a minority of people here, and what really matters is the players themselves. If you despised everyone who currently posts on this forum with a passion, they would probably still add up to a minority of the people who actually play the game.

Anyway, you wouldn't have to pay for it. Give it to Crimson or whoever, let TT take it from there. You could carry on being involved if you wanted, or you could just dump it in TT's lap and run, up to you.

Let me give you an example of the benefits. Null and havocide kept saying that a clan ladder through Linkup would be so much better than Clanwars.cc. I would be the first to agree that in principle, auto > manual. But that's not all there is to it. If it was, how do we explain Clanwars.cc being more successful than the "official" WOL clan ladder? See, that's why I laughed at null and havocide; it hadn't occurred to them that just because a ladder is auto, it still isn't going to do very well if it's run by someone who knows nothing about how to actually manage a clan ladder.
With all modesty aside, I think I do, more than anybody. I certainly have more experience and a better track record. So imagine how good the ladder could be if it was auto AND it was run by someone who actually knows what they're doing. It would be the best clan ladder the game has ever had. This game had an auto ladder in the past, but it was absolutely crap because it wasn't moderated and the people in charge of it didn't care. (Null and Havocide, of course, would know this if they knew a damn thing about clanning in this game) That's why people used mine; it might be manual report, but it was run much better. So imagine an auto ladder run by me, eh?

That's just one great thing that could come out of it. You probably know the other benefits better than I do.

So please consider this. Not for me, not for Crimson, not for TT, not even for you (even though you'd earn an untold amount of respect from the community, and you'd certainly be "the better man")... do it for the game. Do something really good for Renegade. Think practically; what have you got to lose?
