Well yes it has been a while since an update or post has been made. I am sorry for this, but it is due to a few reasons:
1. My wife was in a severe car accident. She has been in the hospital and rehab, but is finally home.
2. Games do not have lan files. Simple matter is devs do not want lans, they want online revenues, therefore no recent releases have lan files available. So it is old games or nothing.
3. Cost versus Reward. It costs quite a bit to run a lan, especially at a good venue. Then when you have 10 people show for a 50 man lan it kills. As you have noticed most of the lans have slowed down or ceased all together. Gooney and I are here and we could do another lan, but the interest has to be there, also it will be for older games that can be played on lan.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions; as always post it in the forums.
