So the thing is, will shrapnel wanna keep footing the bill to keep us freeloaders around? And why should they given that there really is no return on their investment aside from the occational game purchase from one of us. (Looking very forward to Dom3 BTW)

They have been very loyal to us, and we to them, but at some point they might have to think about the bottom line. Not that any of this is anything more than pure 100% fear indused speculation and doom saying.

Stragey First's acquistion of the Space Empires intellectual property really doesn't have any bearing on our philosophy on continuing to host these forums.

Our affection for the Space Empires community is genuine, as well as our love of the game. You all have helped shape Shrapnel Games into what it is today, and we are blessed to count you among our friends. We have never looked upon any of you as "freeloaders"

. Quite the opposite. We are honored that you continue to want to make this your home.

I can't imagine a set of circumstances that would make us want to turn this group away. I also can't imagine why we wouldn't want to welcome new players of the game to our site. Please know you all are always welcome at Shrapnel Games!

Thank you, Annette! Now the only thing we have to worry about is SFI forcing you to shut down your forums, but that seema a bit unlikely, and I'm sure you'd stand up to them as best you could

I don't know why they would want to nor what grounds they would have for doing so.
