Mimma is a woman.
And not having to sift over pointless topics is better so people can just visit a few threads to be updated.

This clearly deserves a topic of its own.

And by far the most important part of it is obviously that it completely debunks the claim that this wouldn't be profitable. If Blizzard considered developing the game from scratch worth it with a nice margin at 500k subs, then Nostalrius has proven that vanilla servers would be worth it since that can be done at a small fraction of the cost.
