How long can Sierra keep N2003 running?

Have been racing N2003 for about 5-6 months. Love the online
multiplayer game. How long do you think we can expect Sierra to
continue hosting the game? Looking for some opinions about this - I
hope they keep hosting for the foreseeable future!

  So ?  Nothing wrong with a fee system.  All we had for a long time.

It is not just a fee system anymore. Free customers can even race with
paying customers in the all members pickup section from what I understand
and even with a free account, if you decide to start paying, the system has
been keeping up with your stats and you dont lose any of the results during
the free account time period. If you pay $3.95, you get the following and I
think its a pretty good deal:

      Basic Plan - $3.95 per month

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

        a.. Entry into Onlineracin.com Thunder Run
        Free, Basic, and Standard members will have a chance to win free
premium membership based on Thunder Run rankings, which runs every month.

        b.. Setup dedicated server races 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
        Onlineracin.com allows you to set up a race anytime unlike private
server owners that lease time slots. Forget about time slots and race
anytime!

        c.. Join as many leagues on OLR
        You can join as many non-Flashpoint leagues as you can handle. There
is 50+ leagues on OLR to join, from Novice all the way to Expert leagues.

        d.. Play all supported *** titles
        Race Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 2003 Season and NASCAR Heat.

        e.. Create your own unique username
        Just like CB Radio, create your own 'handle'. Become a
well-recognized name in the community.

        f.. Access to Onlineracin.com Forums
        Keep up with daily news and rumors by reading our forums. Find help,
advice, and make friends and rivalries.

There is if you don't want to spend money to run back-of-grid all the time...
And yes, I ran on Hawaii when it started, so I'm aware of that.

They don't host.  It's simply a race matching server.

I doubt it requires much overhead, especially since there won't be any more
patches.

The server is probably sitting in a closet somewhere, long forgotten about
:)

Hey, I was willing to pay for TEN as long as the servers were good.
