You're invited!
Would personally love this feature. It's too expensive to pay hosting alone, just to play games once a week or so.

We've built a lot on our own. Maybe Senchalabs Connect can help you, otherwise check https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules. Don't know if it's better than devise/cancan though.

Thanks! Just curious, how do you think you would use it? New features are coming, support for safari, IE9, iPad/iPhone and Android and then make current functionality smarter and better. We will also listen to users so they can say what they want us to focus on.

If you're using target="_blank", you should let the user know that a new tab/window will open. Probably use a symbol like this: http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/files/OpenInN...
