There is probably not a single demographic I am *LESS* interested in serving than teenage boys. As a group, they:

I consider the average teenage boy to be a NET LOSS to my community.

PLAZMI: I have no idea why you are obsessed with attracting teenagers to MUDs. Very few people want that.

It is a fallacy to think that to keep your industry alive you have to infuse it with youth.

Big Fish Games does a couple hundred million dollars a year in sales, and 2 million game downloads a day. They did this by catering to women 30+ years old. They've grown 11 years in a row.
