Some of us have been to a large lan, those of you that have not you realy cant understand what is all involved.
Some of us have looked at an engine, others have not. That doesnt neccesarily mean that you're going to have an exceptional amount of knowledge about the subject. Attending a LAN and running one are two very different things. When you attend one, you only see everything working properly, when you set it up, you get the whole picture.
I agree that this would be an excellent plan, but not yet. Everyone has talked about them for years, but you dont run before you can walk. We havent hit a 50 person LAN party yet, and on the last one we barely broke even with funds. Im not saying its impossible, Im just saying its not plausibe yet.
