I've known about this site for some time now, it's quite interesting.
How's the project coming along?
I'm a game programmer myself and I am creating a game called Galactic Commander, a space based RTS game using similar resource system as in BZ2. It's still very early, just some tech alpha up, but it's promising so far:

Anyways, I've participated in online projects like this before and I'm skeptical that you guys can pull it off, but still always curious. I see you need developers to pretty much "do it", good luck

Anyway, just wanted to say hey, and perhaps get some more insight into your status and plans. I can't say I'm interested in joining you guys at this point, but I won't say never

ps. I'm not sure you guys can use the name "battlezone", if I were you I'd choose something different, e.g. "zone wars" or "combat zone" or something that rings a bell.
