I have to say that in the light of recent events, I have decided to restrict my own posts here.

I haven't been a presence at Apolyton, and have no intention of becoming one.

I am dismayed at all the ruckus that the banning of trippin' daily has caused. While his language may have been offensive, I believe he was banned not because he was a vocal critic of Firaxis, but because he finally generated a fair number of email complaints due to his behavior. Now, I have one request.

Drop it.

tdie will continue to post under various handles, and this banning may just as well end up as a pr disaster for Firaxis. I grieve for what I perceive to be the loss of the original quality that these Alpha Centauri Forums once had. As one of the few that remained here and have been here prior to September of 1998, I must say that I do not feel like these Forums are what they once were. They have become like a strange place for me, rather than a peaceful and friendly place where long discussions could be held without frequent spammings and flamings.

So, without further fanfare, I am retiring this handle here.

I'm sure many of you will be thinking to yourself: "Good riddens," or some such, thinking I'm a pompous veteran.

If that's what you wish to see, go right ahead. I'm giving up here.

You'll be back. I know it. It maybe under a completely original name, like Q^4, but you'll be back.

Run!
Before they catch you.

They will grab you and drag you back here and make you post. Even against your own will.

On a sad note, yet another good poster leaves the forum and is replaced by morons.

Ho hum...

I quit too. I don't like invisible moderators and I don't like forums where a whole lot of fuss is made about a stupid little word. I also don't think there is a forum out there I will ever like.

ban me dammit!

You'll be back before you know it.... You never get rid of the thirst....
Shame to see you go, Q, even if it is only temporary...which I hope it will be.

This comment is at half-mast in recognition of the lurking of a friend.

I quit three. Lack of quality threads and posters and also pure lack of interest. Bye all i'll now go into lurking mode and hibernate until something interesting happens. Now to remember all my silly, wierdo, pre/post/current SMAC release titles.

Like so many others, I will lurk here...hopefully, only until Korian returns...but if he's still somewhat mad at me, or thinks things are better with me gone, I'll simply fade away....

Talon, you know the meaning of fnord? I don't believe you...

DCA,
Fnord is the sound of one-handed clapping.

I find the firaxis forums more hip and happening at the moment. Why don�t we crash their server (again)?

These forums are quite obviously grinding to a halt, which is surprising given the 46-ish replies to jig's thread. Perhaps some new threads would increase interest?

There's one good thing about the state of this forum, and that is that I could finally get rid of my forum addiction, thereby saving a lot of money .

Merely the end of the beginning, but the Greater Saga goes on...

This place fades, ebbs...as does this "Spider". Another there is...but not here.

Yes, I too must make public my decision to move on to the Firaxis Forums (as my primary discussion area.) We lack the critical mass of posters there, although that may be good.
