Well, I think that the donation is the way to go. If you donate through paypal to Eugene, it kinda piles the pressure on him personally to make a new version of scout. I mean, just look at all the people posting here, waiting for his nifty little wonder of a software.
At least I hope it would...it's odd that he wouldn't even reply to an e-mail..I mean, if he's fed up with genie scout, or doesn't have enough time to work on it, he should just give (sell?) the code to the guys that made FMRT. That way, genie scout would live on, and everyone would be happy.
And I can only imagine the fun the guys working for SI have when they read posts like this...they made a real scouting in their baby, and yet, we rely on third party software to find great players.

I think eugene's software just made us all lazy, that's all
