Re: UKNM: Revolution's Top 100

[Ben Thompson]

Thanks for the offers. However, it is not web space that is required

but time and inclination.


Falco died for three reasons, lack of activity (heck stuff only occurred

once in blue moon), a crap scoring system (Leslie's method seems far

better) and a total lack of time. (The system only existed because I

ported it from a fantasy league system (so it took about an hour to

create)).


Currently this last one is a killer but even with some staff I am not

going to have anytime to manage it (or port it to Apache-asp (it does

not do ODBC yet anyway)). 


Unless someone is willing to manage it (and others, Stovin and NMA

willing to provide the scores) there is no point relaunching it. The

reason the site died is my lack of time, and I guarantee that I will

have even less time this year then I had last.


Meanwhile I'll hop on a train and face the first of 50 meetings this

week.
