Some pretty old messages down below, but I thought I'd say something anyway...
the reason this ladder has died is not only the cheating, but yahoo itself is pretty bad now... too many cheaters and jerks at yahoo period... so its hard to keep alive a yahoo based checker ladder with yahoo in the mess it is
a lot of players have gone to vog or to zone at the kingszone... kingszone ofcourse is unrated only so therefore no ratings whores etc. there
trying to bring this ladder back would mean reviving all of yahoo to a whole lot less cheaters, good luck with that...
