This is awesome. I ran my own server for several months for a bunch of 10 year olds. But it was a pain in the butt. Keeping it up, paying the bills and so forth. Minefold solves the problem brilliantly.

The kids (or their parents) each pay their own way, they can choose to pay (and play) as much, or as little as they want. Dave and Chris have been fantastic and the service is continually improving.

I wish them well, it's solving a real problem for me and every parent I've introduced to the service has had no problems paying for their kids to use it.

The other thing I've noticed is that the kids love cloning servers too, so they can easily find maps they like, clone it then blow it up without needing to be invited.

I discovered the service here a few weeks back and I've been using it ever since, great to see them launch now into the "wild" as well.
