With all these new betas happening in mmog land I would like to get a non fboi view.

A bit more restrained than Lum, but try

www.player2player.net

Edit:

Well, the site seems to be down. I know they recently did a huge overhaul of the site, so maybe the outage is related to that.

The following maybe aren't Lum-like, but there's always some decent game talk and/or news.

player2player does seem to be down, still.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Arcadian a contributor to Lum?

Yes, more or less. You'll notice most of the new rant sites are spawned from the lum children.

In addition to those listed...some more Lum children are:

www.thisisnotacommunity.org/ (http://www.thisisnotacommunity.org/)

www.thechosen.com/ (http://www.thechosen.com/)

waterthread.org/ (http://waterthread.org/)

Arcadian and player2player both seem to be down, I don't know what's up. I only stop by occassionally. I get enough ranting at home :)

They are both hosted by the same company, and apparently the admin, Angelstorm, is a slacker/incompetent/etc. They should both return soon I imagine.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about LtM today - and how much I missed the crockety bunch - of course I'm too lazy to put up anything like that myself.
