Great, I think it’s a great idea. I always loved to play Monopoly when I was a kid and would love to try in online.

YES! I have got the main property I wanted to own: the most important square in the city and I managed to buy my streets: http://edward.de.leau.net/monopoly-city-streets-i-bought-the-vrijthof-in-maastricht-andre-rieu-u-can-buy-it-20090909.html

BUT MY VIRUSSCANNER gives suddenly a warning about the Nutcracker Virus in one of the URLS is the site already hacked? See url above for screenshot of virus message.

I agree about the cheaters - and the reset. How can people have portfolios worth billions already? Doesn;t make it worth joining. We're all a bit miffed this end!
