That's right. The Game forum has almost 600 more posts than this one! We're slacking, people! There are only about 20 new posts here in a day, it seems. So come on, get to work! Our reputation is tarnished as long as the Game is ahead of us! Post, post, POST!

This is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about in the other thread.
No people here.
Oh well. Off to Apolyton.
Frodo83 posted 06-02-99 11:12 AM ET
No, wait! THAT'S why there's no posting here! Everyone left for Apolyton! But they left for Apolyton because there's no one posting here! See what I mean? We're creating our own vacuum, or something.

It is not the quantity, it's the quality that counts. And the quality is better here. Whoever objects is stupid.

Yes, I see the logic Frodo. But what can we do? Not much. Can't beat em, join em.
I wouldn't go so far as to say the posts here are THAT much better. Sure there is a lot more morons over at Poly, but there is a lot more good posters as well.

You blasphemous heretic! We have Brian Reynolds, Sid Meier, Jeff Morris and the rest of the Firaxis gang posting here! And NOT at Poly!

Well obviously they are going to post here because they made SMAC. That doesn't really make this a better forum than Poly. Plus its not like they mingle in with the off topic crowd now is it?

But they do! Look in the NBA thread, just a couple of minutes ago.

A couple of points of fact.
Brian Reynolds did post on Apolyton shortly after the Civ III announcement.
The post counts on these forums are inaccurate. The big fora, such as "The Game" and "Non-SMAC Related" have had their post counts set back to 0 a number of times. The current totals do not reflect total activity.
