That's cool.. I think the reason a lot of people haven't registered there to play online is because the navigation on that site is very cluttered..

You try having uncluttered navigation when there are 52 card games available. It's a good system but takes a little getting used to.

Despite what you think it could have sported a much more organized look.. People nowadays aren't willing to "get used" to a website with cluttered navigation.. Everything needs to be straight forward and simple.. Otherwise people will pass it over and never discover the services that are actually offered..
When I said that the site had a cluttered navigation.. I was saying that as a possible explanation as to why a lot of people haven't registered.. You can make excuses saying that there are a lot of games but by doing so you are just ignoring some positive criticism and a possibility to improve your website through that positive criticism..

Ok well I just wanna say that the "getting used to" dosent take to long... I registereda few days ago and I understand it. sure you run into a few bugs here and there but its really worth it. especially when someone like me lives in the Stone (arizona) where there is absolutely zip, zilch, zero tournaments. so playing online is one of the only ways I stay up to date. but its worth it. and the play set up is easy also.

I personally have no control as to the layout of the site. I am only in charge of keeping the card games I am in charge of up to date. (Which is very easy for Digi-battle, lol) The site Admin is open to suggestions if you want to send him a message about possible improvements.
As for the bolded statement though I have to disagree, Linux is a system that you need to learn and isn't intuitive but is still very popular. It is just a matter of if you want the convience of the site and trade finding in exchange for a small learning curve.

Dragonforce: Go on aIM and we can play :)
Well Props to the person who coded everything.. When I first heard of the site I thought it was a pretty epic idea..
One Problem I had on it was that the option of adding foil cards didn't work very well.. The main problem I had with that was that the lists didn't distinguish between foil cards and non-foil cards all the time.. It did for some and didn't for others.. It's a small bug that could be solved by adding another list instead of using a check box..
I think the online thing is awesome.. Though I'm not a huge fan of how the online system is setup.. I really love how MWS does it where you select a deck, connect to a server, create a game, and have someone specific join your game all in the same screen.. If your system was all on the same screen then I would be so down for it..
One thing I wanted to say is that I really like that you can view older games.. When you get into the actual game it looked pretty cool as well..
About your Linux thing.. The people who use linux are those who are computer oriented people.. There is no way that a majority of people know how to install linux onto their computer.. Granted its not hard but most people don't want to take the time to learn a new system when they already know how windows works.. It's the same as how people would rather use a remote for their tv instead of getting up and changing the channel when they didn't like something.. Or even people would rather sit and watch something they don't like on tv instead of getting up and changing the channel..
I guarantee you'd have more success with the website if you made it easier to navigate..
