But on topic, the way I see this ending is when Lack funds his retirement by selling the site to some larger corporation, who then go and screw it all up. And really, how do we know this site isn't already run by Hasbro?

Once they see it, and create a very similar game, they will most likely shut down this site.
Scrabulous was barely making any money and had like 50 million users and it was shut down.
All HASBRO would have to do is file a copyright suit, or better yet just threaten to do so and this site would have no choice but to shut down.
where do you get your info? scarbulous is not dead, it is up and running and i'm still a member. i was just playing a game before i came over here to check my games. so, wrong about that... hasbro knows about this site, and if the classic map were removed, they would have zero ground to stand on. hell, even that map isn't the same as hasbro. the rules and gameplay are different, and the maps on this site are wholly original. i love all the speculation and "facts" that people use that are just not true...-0

um... yeah... right... instead of making stuff up, why don't you just got to http://www.scrabulous.com, and see for yourself. those two brothers are alive and kicking... and they are way more at risk than CC. they use the ACTUAL scrabble board and it's rules. CC does not use the actual risk board and/or it's rules. the content of the site is wholly original. slayer, i don't understand how hard it is for someone to go to a site they claim is defunct, before posting an outright falsehood.-0

Pretty soon he will be able to make a living off running this site alone, if he doesn't already. I don't see any reason why he would stop doing this. If anything I think that he would continue to put more time into it.

listen, you aren't even clever enough to type in http://www.scrabulous.com/ to see if the site is gone before publicly declaring it as part of your argument. you have zero footing when one of the main tennants of your argument is farcical, imaginary, gossip, and a plain out fabrication. scrabulous is alive and kicking and using the same name as before. i'm playing jbrettlip right now, in a game on scrabulous, over some coffee... once you base an argument on such a glaring fabrication, you can't really try to just continue dumping buckets of water over the side of your sinking boat, that is your argument. scrabulous is doing fine, and they are an OBVIOUS infringement. show me where hasbro has proprietary rights over ANY map on this site. i am sure DiM, Gimil, Yeti_C, andy and the rest of the map boys would love to get some of that hasbro money for all the hard work, since hasbro seems to own them, according to you. but wait, you are the same guy basing your entire argument on http://www.scrabulous.com/ being shut down by hasbro!!!-0
