Limited selection is going to be a problem with any new network. You can't pass judgement on something that is founded on user participation before its even been available for a full month.
As for the Cydoor issue, I downloaded the 0.20 release from the official site and it didn't install Cydoor and I see no advertisements. I'm not sure why this is the case, but I see from other threads elsewhere that I'm not the only one who has a mysteriously add-free eXeem. Perhaps Spybot immunization combined with using Firefox throws a monkey wrench in their works?
In truth, as long as Cydoor does nothing but provide advertisements that are only seen within the eXeem window while eXeem was running I really wouldn't have any problem with it. Advertising supported programs aren't inherently wrong, after all I don't refuse to listen to the radio because the stations are supported by advertisers. My concern is the invasion of privacy if the program was also monitoring what I do at my PC, where I web browse etc. I don't honestly know if Cydoor does this, or how to find out for certain if it did.
