They claimed to me (before I left shaking my head) that all algos that allows other hardware to mine it outside CPUs, will inevitably be taken over by ASICS. They don't grasp the idea that you can tweak an algo in such a way, that both FPGAs and CPUs can exist on the same network, while both are profitable. (And I've tried to explain... And again... And again)
Well, if that club wants to miss out on a profitable coin, that's their business.
