This is not entirely true ! during the period prior to etc being listed on coin-base i used  this pool for about 6 days or so..
This is a new pool and the OP is working to make it better.. Changes i noticed were
 1) PPLNS system was calculating share% based on last 100 and this was later changed  to 5000.. this helps with folks who are on and stay on..
 2) OP personally took interest in ensuring that each miner got paid a fair amount.. to start with he gave me 1 etc as a joining credit.
 3) at the end of everyday he would calculate earning compared whattomine.com and if he found that earning was lower he would contact me and also compensate me with payment (Orphan block because of config error)
 4 ) there was 1 instance of downtime, which was a internet service provider issue.. he compensated me for that too..

I initially started with 1.1gh and increase it to 2 gh.. i have since moved back to ETH mining..

All in all, a new pool with an active OP.. can it get better ? yes.. is it crap ? NO just my thoughts
