I would go even further than that.
PA is completely unsalvageable. The technology is dated, the design even more so, the community is toxic, and the size of the player base negligible. There is literally nothing in PA that I'd reuse for a PA v2.0. I wouldn't even advertise it here. The last thing a game needs is a bunch of assholes stuck in a rut.
Any new "PA" should be started from the bottom up, by people who know what they're doing (no, I do not include myself), who have the funding to back proper development and the will to make tough decisions, without paying any attention to what two dozen forum-dwelling players of some decade old game demand.

This is offtopic, but I don't want to let such a blatant misrepresentation of my views stand uncorrected. I am not in favour of cheating. Never have been, never will be. I think that PA players should be encouraged to do anything but what we've been doing for 20 rounds or more. Innovate! If that means using game features in different ways than intended, then by all means, do it. If such actions are harmful to the game, then
the game should be changed, not the players. Call that cynical if you will, but I certainly don't.
