Apolyton Rocks. Did anyone have any doubts??

Congrats Markos and Dan on pretty good mention in a huge media outlet. The future of the site continues to look good!

It's nice to be recognized but how much did the CTP community really add to the source code being released? We only wrote a letter or two I'm sure.

Congrats to the site. Too bad they didn't include a link.
Why not contact them, they might still include it.

For one thing, Activision would never have released the source code if it wasn't for all the great mods and scenarios that were produced by the community, and for the fact that we are still playing and modding the game (and converting people to our 'faith', getting them to buy a copy of the game) 3 years after they stopped their support.

Oh, and I suppose I should mention that it's a good thing, Martha Stewart style. Course then Mark'll charge us membership fees, make a million bucks, and then sell the site to Walmart for a tidy sum.
Hey, don't forget the vets when you IPO, Mark!! Sell us some initial shares!

Well, at least we won't have to hear the endless whining about the mac forum being ruined by Asher since all the Mac polytubbies would commit ritual suicide as soon as they heard Bill was taking over the place.

A story on Click Online would be more impressive. That's still just a brief news bulletin in the tech section. None the less, brief and nice.

It's not me who's supposed to be satisfied - it's you, Markos, as co-owner of ACS.

There has been little good news around here recently, except for Gator disappearing and BBC mentioning ACS for CtP2 source code in a small bulletin in its tech section.

Well Spikey, as you well know :

Some like to spank, while others like to be spanked.
Works out nicely if you ask me.

Well, our happyness only means that we aren't such a reknown site after all. But I wait for the day when BBC will proudly report; we were mentioned on Poly.
