I can understand what Hagin is saying and what others comments are. I do not intend on Excluding anyone, just would like to pick my New opponents. I have tried to add suggestions to the Description Line of a New Open game to get what I am looking for. I have a Reason for why I List a request. I Love playing these games and would just like it for my Requests on the Open Game to be Respected.. I understand some people just aren't that way and join Whatever.... Oh well, I will Just Play and Have a Good Time until I build enough players for Passworded Games

I honestly believe there is a lot of merit to both sides of this argument. Which makes developing a good solution that much more difficult -- doing it in a way that will please everyone involved.

I do also want to improve this site. It is my child, and I do want to see it improve and develop. There are dozens, possibly hundreds of good suggestions that have been made and I would like to implement all of them. And yes, taking on additional volunteer developers would help address that, but doing even that will take a significant amount of effort to manage. I know this from experience -- bringing Ryan and Myke onboard has resulted in the addition of two excellent games, and they really saved me in terms of stepping up and taking over much of the daily administration and bug fixing over the past year, but it did take a lot of time supporting them in getting acquainted with how everything works, and was also a big risk (fortunately neither of them have wiped out the database, at least not yet).

I'm closing this and a few other threads that have passed the point of meaningful discussion for the time being, so that (a) I can catch up and (b) folks can calm down a little bit. I do ask that you all keep civil and respectful in your posts, and please try to remember that you aren't always going to be able to convince those with opposing views that you are right.
