OK.
My general disregard for all things PC related is reasonably well documented. D-UNI tried it and by the time I decided to pull us out of it, the egos, histrionics, drama, epeen and exploits damn well near broke me personally and made me dread logging on lest I got dragged into yet another bitchfest of which my caring about was precisely zero. I very nearly quit the game entirely because of it.
PC is played by a minority of the player base, a passionate and vocal minority but minority nevertheless.
Any examination of the mechanics of PC is I feel not going fully service its potential, without addressing the question as to why its not as popular as it should be is kind of silly. Yes potential, I might not be its biggest fan but I know it could be something special if its failings a force multiplier for player participation are addressed and dealt with.
Rattati asked in the OP, 'Please, pass the message forward, and especially if you or your corporation was active in PC, and quit for whatever reason.' (my underlining).
It's vitally important that we use the opportunity that we have now, to find those reasons to quit and see what can be done about them now rather than later.
Was it logistical, time consuming, a failure in UI or explanation? Time pressures, technical problems or just plain odd boring?
Let CCP know.

We held no more than 5 districts at a time and our PC adventure lasted just over 6 months, hardly a majority of the time.
I'm also very grateful too for the considerations that the PC community gave us because they wanted to help us achieve our stated goal which was to give new players a taste of PC in an as controlled manner as was possible. The limited logistical mechanics of PC made that a real headache but we had a serious crack at it. If we only had some sort of Meta lock out for training matches or the proposed Arena SI, it would've have been very different.
And quite a few D-UNI alumni are now still active in PC having had a taste of it, so in that respect it worked out as well as I'd hoped.
But it was a lot of very hard work....

CCP Rattati wrote:One question, and this is a crazy one. If we were to setup a system that allows a SKIN to take into account the Corporation Name. Would corporations be interested in having CCP customize, based on request, a corp skin that would be available in the marketplace, but say "This SKIN only appilies if you are in D-Uni", for example? I don't have the tech yet, but this seems fairly awesome, so I would love to get your feedback. A bit of a off-topic, but I already have 30 plus top corp emails joining the cause, so I'm happy. 
Today, I cry like a little girl about this.
I get to read this and have a new MacBook Air deliveries on the same day. Oh happy, happy day.
