Wow, and the games grind to a halt.

I'm hoping that the all-the-eggs-in-one-basket thing won't be an issue, since I am quite determined to continue hosting the LlamaServer for years to come. You don't need to worry about me just disappearing. Despite the occasional cockups I think it's pretty stable as well, and all the files are backed up.

I had assumed that PBEM would be inferior to network games, but PBEM seemed more practical to scale up (at least given my technical knowledge). I now actually prefer PBEM games, but I'd say it's pretty likely that that's a strong case of bias!
