Back in the old days there have only been a few thousand gamers aroud the world, only a few games have been played and most ppl behaved like grown-ups, but today there are millions of gamers, hundreds of games and most ppl behave like 12 year old kids (maybe most of them are 12 year old kids?).

There is no way a service like FilePlanet can survive today without getting money in some way, and the non-paid servers are busy close to 24/7 because there are so many ppl.
FilePlanet may be bad in some way, but they offer a really good service. I only have a free account, because i don't use it that often, but i would pay for it, if i would be still as active as i used to be - back in the old days :)

maybe because all those websites belong to gamespy? *g*

usually www.planet<yourfavoritegame>.com is part of the GS network.
