I dig the our tech, through worldleaders is also good

Interesting site. I think I'll sign up for the hell of it.

Does it adjudicate better?

Does the press get to other players better?

Does it have any options that are really better than this sites'?

Technology is there to get results. If this "vintage" technology delivers, why change it?

php = vintage?

hahaha, Fortran.

test?

I still have to program in Fortran 77 from time to time when I have to touch a legacy system. Ugh. Just thankful I never had to do cobol.

You could add variants here, its just a measure of developer time.

Flash sucks computer resources (and a$$, actually). Plus, it almost never works on mobile devices and if it's poorly implemented doesn't work that great on Mac OS X.

Besides, isn't HTML5 right around the corner? If any changes are wanted/needed, that's probably the way to go.

HTML5 has been "right around the corner" for four of five years -- and it has many significant problems right now which make me think we won't see a completed spec for another couple years at least -- which means several more years of browser incompatibility and partial implementations. Even if it was ready today, it's still quite a stretch to claim that it's a replacement for Flash. (I don't especially like Flash, but the little bit that browsers do support of HTML5 have hideous performance compared to Flash.)

The biggest problem with changes like early-adoption of HTML5 or even the very cool SVG examples in the dev forum are that 90%+ of the world still uses IE, and IE lags in all of these categories.

Given that Kestas is on record stating he isn't comfortable deploying even relatively basic javascript on the client side in the name of maximum compatibility (except where it's unavoidable), I would suspect this whole line of discussion is not likely to gain traction.

I've played at BattleForces and while it's certainly nice looking, I think the UI is pretty clumsy on any of the medium- or large-size maps (I would consider Dip a medium sized map). Such issues could be fixed I suppose, but other than the "pretty" factor it's hard to see what there is to recommend it.

@ingwe: I suppose you think websites and e-commerce and that computer you're reading this on all created themselves? :)
