KaVir:
I'm quite aware of many good bases to work from for a hobbyist. As logos noted, none of these have a proven track record of years in a commercial environment supporting several hundred simultaneous users. Am I missing something?

I imagine that, with royalties, you also get continuing support/development. This may be much, much cheaper in the short term than hiring a coder (in the fully paid sense).

I don't believe that either of us has enough information to make that statement. I believe that there are content development tools written in Rapture, and for all I or you know they're included.

I respect a lot of your opinions, but now you're claiming "it'll never work" to someone (logos, not me) who HAS made it work, past tense, and shows every sign of continuing to make it work.
