Thad: Not surprised really with the way things were going on the day to day running of the site. It's too bad Peter had to shut it down but I understand not having the time he once had to manage it all. DSG will be missed!
Brf: Seems to me that a site like that should run itself without much day-to-day maintenance once everything is set up. I realize that it might not work out that way, though. I wonder what was involved in keeping it going.
I would think about buying it if I could get all the code and everything if I thought I could make a little $$$ from the effort, but I would rather invest in a site that includes more games than just Pente.
Thad: well with the java exploits and staying up on that, coupled with getting the forums hacked. as well as day to day server crashes, database corruption, making\restoring backups. continual coding requirements to add features such as you suggested "more games" I know he didn't have time for it.
I think he's more focused on that BabyESP app he developed and unlike the pente site it actually generates revenue. It is a sad day that there is no more DSG though, I wish someone would've taken it over just to keep the forums, dbase, and the live play aspect still alive.
