The LAN center I used to go to kept getting ripped off. Rivalution, Thunderdome, and a few others got ripped of, too, iirc. We still have smaller parties from time to time, but it's nothing compared to maxing maps with everyone you know.
Anyway, as bandwidth continues to grow, LAN parties became less and less about going to a place where LAN parties are possible and more about community... but LAN folks like us are okay with long-distance eCommunities.
