Author Topic:   What this place reminds me of...

Well, it reminds me of one of the old, abandoned towns in bad western movies. You know, the ones with the queeking "Saloon"-sign, the broken roofs and weeds rolling through the streets.

This forum and these towns ewoke the same emotions in me. What a deserted place! Me myself being a "newbie" just a few (or not so few, on the second thought) months ago, I now know no one here (besides JohnIII, the guy who knows the meaning of my handle ). I remember the BoS, the I-club, the newbie wars, my first storythread took place on this once sacred place, I saw two Project 500s and I remember hot discussions about Milosevic...

*sob*

All seems to be gone. And two more months, this forum will be like the Stories collective: two active posters, who talk to each other privately on a public forum.

Why do I bother you with this crap? I don't really know. But if you read it through to this point, there must be something to it...

I still read here occasionally but I've migrated to www.planetsid.com. It's much more active.

My translation was perfectly valid!
So have I, although I'm posting more at Lionhead and less at Firaxis. Gentleman, choose your developers!
In the blue corner- Lionhead Studios, with a beautiful and functional site, an original game, an innovative Satellite scheme and regular forum participation by employees. And some damn fine coders, artists, testers, and a dedicated musician.
In the red corner- Firaxis with one original game, two sequels, a functional site and little forum interaction

It dies, but for the die-hards like myself. I singlehandedly try to save as much as I can, but all for nought, it seems....
