Took three months, but I called it.

James is a co-founder on the Fearless ZM server, so it's just a matter of time until he throws in the towel too.
I wonder how many people rolled their eyes when he came onto the server earlier to announce on mic that he's "Too busy to play", yet he's sitting on spec talking to people.
Getcha has been a regular on ZM for quite a long time, she hasn't driven anyone away. Meanwhile, there's quite a list of people who check GG before joining for a certain mic spammer.
It's also more laggy, the admins have no code so they do whatever they want, all map votes are controlled by admins and those admin skins you mention are juvenile(naked women? come on). The player skins so far are nothing to write home about yet and half of the people I've invited gave up in the middle of downloading all these special skins, so it's not exactly a benefit.
There's some promise in that they're receptive to changes, but that's only because it's a young server (third day). Once things have settled, I doubt it'll change much.
