Filled a world in just about 48 hours needing 2 spots but both were unexpected and didnt start recruiting owners until Monday afternoon.

Still no problem finding experienced owners for quality worlds.

SHUT 'EM DOWN, WIFS!!!!

FWIW, I'm against forcibly closing worlds but, if you're setting a precedent with the shutdown of MLHB, it doesn't seem right to discontinue the practice after one world. Especially when the "problem" seems to be getting worse.

Well, you didn't shut down The Show and Stargell. Both have had consecutive seasons of 13 or more openings. WifS insinuated that those worlds would be shut down.

Still in progress.

I'm a bit annoyed with this whole "shut down worlds" thing. I like to believe, perhaps falsely, that WifS thinks things out before declaring "policy". Therefore, I'm forced to believe that they felt nuking worlds would help solve the "problem". You can't kill Saddam and Qusay then let Uday take over.

From what I hear, more world closings are coming, but this probably won't happen until after they've had time to digest the results of the survey.

Maybe they should have done the survey before creating the policy.

What he said.

I take back the "I like to believe they think things out" if that's the case. Well, I still like to believe it but it's obviously incorrect.

For the record, I think nuking worlds was a very stupid idea that was nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction by WifS. However, if I'm one of the dozen or so guys from MLHB, I'm getting ****** because guidelines were set(more or less) and now they're changing their mind(or so it appears).
