Its basically a virtual city, and each click a person gets their city grows.

Oh man, it's like multiplayer Sim City 2000. Unique site idea though.

There isn't any interaction at all, you just keep sending hits to the url, you can't even claim the url to be yours as there is no space to login, totally unlike Sim City 2000, seems to be a good way of converting others traffic for the site own use.

If I am the web site owner, I won't mind writing such a script, the more hits the more population, soldiers etc, but I will put a few adsense down there to earn from it :). Maybe if there are programmers who are interested we can explore our own.

But maybe give the creator of the space some limited login rights to claim part of the revenue.....

Pay per hit would be a much more effective way to get something like this. But since this is a free method I could see how it works.

I feel like playing sim city 3000 again, the good old days. Hopefully my 22# widescreen will support it.

I see this floating around a bunch of mIRC channels I idle, it's very popular with gamers.

I agree that this site more like a game.
Indeed, I don't like the site like myspace.
