One of the unfortunate aspects of their financial troubles is that MSOWL have not sponsored my Shogi.Net site for close to a year, so I have been paying the domain plus all accounts (FESA, SHOGI-L, Patrick Davin's Shogi Nexus, etc.) out of my own pocket (if anybody knows a sponsor, please let me know!). That, however, pales in comparison with the salaries that were not paid to people that worked on MSO's webzine, website, etc. They have really suffered and must be applauded for their continued dedication to MSOWL.
