Just a double post. But it won't go away. I call this a sticky post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I'd consider going there, in exchange for the answers to the first three trivia questions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
Or even better, make se1 available for download there as part of space empires month. |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I for one plan to visit both sites regularly, with a frequency depending on relative post volume. Currently I'm visiting Shrapnel daily and Strategy First weekly, on average. The only good reason I can think of to stop visiting here would be having insufficient time to follow multiple forums.
As far as BBS software goes, IMO UBB is the least bad commonly used software among the forums I've visited. The only Web interface I don't dislike was custom-coded by that site's Webmistress, but is reputedly a bear to maintain, and my preference for it seems to be a minority opinion among the regulars there. |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
It is unlikely that I'll check any other SE forums or sites on a regular basis apart from this one.
Perhaps a split between SE4 and SE5 would be good, though. SE4 topics seem to get drowned pretty fast. And I don't really think there'll be less discussion once the full version of SE5 is out. |

I have no plans to cease my activities here. First off, I'm actually somewhat known here, and in turn know many of the people here. I've visited many other forums, usually just a couple times, and I have never found one yet that can match the sheer amount of knowledge, maturity and dedication that the people who come here display on a day to day basis. No one denegrates newcomers to the game or forum, everyone is eager to share knowledge, and even the occasional instance where conversations become heated, people refrain from attacking others. I don't want to leave, and I will not be leaving until this forum is eventually closed down, or until I die of old age. Hopefully the latter, since that shouldn't be for another 60-70 years!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif Plus, it's taken me almost 3 years to build up the post count I have! Can't have that be all for nought. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif |

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Im not going. I like it here, I like the community, I like Shrapnel, I like the other games they produce, I like seeing advertisements for their new games and every-so-often buying one when it comes out.
And you know what, I dont think I'm going to be evicted. Because this forum drives traffic and I'm not the only one who buys other Shrapnel games. Oh, and we self moderate. Other forums, wither they are hosted by SFI, Fyron, or Aaron's dog, dont really thrill me. But by all means, go be a factious splitter. Go off and form the SE5 Peoples Front. Or the Peoples Front of SE5. Or whatever you're calling it this week. Splitter. Speaking of other Shrapnel games, is the new ATF game not being published through Shrap? I saw a preview on Tacticular Cancer, and theres a beta-demo out on the developers site, but I dont see any mention of it here on Shrap. |

Don't try to make me move into the toolshed, I'll hide in the basement first. hmmm, or maybe the Attic, I always liked Attics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif P.S. Not just 'Fans' but 'Friends' too. |

Hi David.
Nice to see you. Are your duties on SEV now complete? The reason I ask, we need some art work done. Are you interested? |

OK, OK, "Ugly American" humor aside, what does nationality have to do with anything? Isn't that a rather irrelevant consideration in the world of internet games? |

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I'm an American. In fact, I am a North American. My country is as North American a country as you can get.
I'm a North North American. You silly yanks are North South Americans. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I thought they were the south north americans...

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Isn't north-north-american "Borderline Canadian"?
Also, another non-american here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Just beyond the north north americans are the Russians.

That's why I said it because the initial post was adressed to Americans and countrymen, which is in this context not appropriate IMO. You could get the impression (although I am sure that this was not the intention) that the new forum site invitation was restricted to American. |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Q: It was a rif on the "friends, Romans, countrymen" speech you know..

Suggesting leaving here on the other hand...... |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Ok. I'll explain. I considered the phrase when I used it. My view is that the words "Friends and countrymen" can apply to those who are not "Americans".
Mainly the title and creative speech was to grab attention(It sure did.Hehe.) to invite others to visit spaceempires5.com. It might have seemed to suggest permanently leaving Shrapnel but that was not what I meant. I agree that this is a good community and I visit here and other sites. Plus, some other sites are still trying to become more presentable. |
Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I may pop over and have a look around. But that certainly doesn't mean I would abandon this site.

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
I have to agree, opening a speech with "Shutting this place down..." doesn't come off as the best pitch for getting us to change.

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
ok, enough of this PC stuff. The site will be restricted to Romans only. All writing will be in Latin. (At least, as veteran SE players, we're all used to the Roman numerals! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!
Gotta say I have no intention of going to the new site at this time. All the knowledge is here and quite honestly the community is here.
Even if I do little more then occasionally lurk anymore. Rasorow |
