subspace will become a chat server, just like all stuff eventually does.. well, as long as someone still runs the servers... there are still MUDs i can log in to with like 100 people, 90-95 of them being AFK at any given point.. just to chat.. nobody actually runs around killing stuff anymore! theyre all developers/wizards. ed: it's "dying" because it's past its time.. just like qbert, pacman, king kong.. or more recent shiat like meridian 59, everquest, etc. sowwy, nothing you can do to stop the gradual decline, just slow it down some maybe.
