[Atrocities]

Over the last couple of months activity on this forum seems to have been falling off considerably.

There was a time that I could go away for an hour and come back to read dozens of new posts. Now it seems like there is only one new post every hour.

When I think about all the time I have spent on this forum, reading, posting, and lurking over the last five years, I cannot help but feel a bit nostalgic over it.

I can remember when I first came here to post about SEIV and how new it was. Grant todays forum looks nothing like the old forum, but what the hey, progress.

Knowing that there are fewer days ahead than behind, I cannot help but wonder about all of the information that will some day be lost when Shrapnel decides to close this forum.

I enjoy thinking back over the years and reading old threads and re-discovering what made this place home.

I shudder to think about loosing the vast library of information that this forum contains, the many thousands upon thousands of posts about virtually every aspect of Space Empires IV from modding to strategy tips.

I would so very much hate to see the great posts of this site, from fan fiction through political off topic debates; lost forever.

I know that I am kinda melodramatic about such things, but hey, when it comes to this forum, the members, and the content, its ok to be a bit dramatical.
