The Future of Jnet (and Netrunner)

I really like playing on jnet and was desperately searching for something similar to the all-mighty OCTGN for Mac users like me for a long time. So I think I was one of the early adopters of jinteki.net.

And since I really really appreciate the work of all those guys behind it and Minh in special, I am a bit worried because maybe all this online-netrunning has made some of us a bit lazy in spreading the message and recruiting new players? Say, why should you look for new folks, pin flyers about your game nights to the wall of your FLGS and try to convert those Magic players - when you can have a 24/7 online meta with its own star players and a level of evolution that is much quicker than it might be healthy for the game?

Just thinking out loud, but I got the impression that a general darker/cards-are-OP mood on the stimhack forums and now this dissatisfaction of the game’s biggest online playing plattform is no coincidence.
