I think the ladder must have been one of the main attractions for people to join CDZ when it started but the past months very well have shown that CDZ is alive and kicking without a ladder.

We started to organize competitions like the GOTM and the Tournament on CFC when Civ3 still was multiplayer and it really was the only way to compete with other players. With multiplayer PBEM there is actual and much more interactive competition between human players. Although not driven by hard numbers most of us pretty well know how skilled the frequent players are.

Personally I play for the fun and PBEM gives me enough satisfaction for competitive needs. I also think that kind of competition is mucho better than the somewhat artificial rank in a ladder.

My 2 cents.
