This forum is dead
You know, this forum use to be alive with so much activity on it, but lately, just in the past few days, it seems like it's almost, well, dead. Almost no one posts here anymore. What's up with that?

Hmm, I count 41 threads with activity in the last two days, many with mulitple posts. Just how active should a "general" Civ 3 board be?

maybe it seems dead to you because threads like "which game is better, Civ3 or Ctp2" get moved to community, as this likely will as well as your collaboration thread.

this forum seems pretty active to me, not enough whiners for you?

Yea, I noticed too. Maybe Ming went on a rampage and banned half the apolyton community by coin toss?

And thank God. It had become a real whine-, troll- and flame-fest for a while there. I actually started reading it again about a week ago, when it became managable for the first time in months.

I personally haven't had much time to post. Not that I was ever a very active whiner (apart from complaining how easy deity is).

I'd rather have this level of activity than twice as many threads mostly composed of mindless whining and/or praising.

It will pick up again when(if) the new patch comes out, there just isn't anything new to complain about.

This forum is dead just like the game.
I stopped playing it long time ago. So, there is nothing to talk about.

There doesn't seem to be much new to talk about. Most of the posts aren't really concerned with Civ3 anymore:

Brian Reynolds true genius?
Forum dead
Naval history
Alternative name civ4
Understanding Fir. programmers

And the ones that are about civ3 are only so indirectly:

Last game: memory, speed and mapsize
French colour changes
Game too american
next patch?

And a lot of posts about what could be done differently. I too get the feeling that this forum is slowing down. Not so much in the amount of posts (after all we are still bored in our jobs ), but definately in the quality. Most people seem to have run out of useful things to say.

Ah, but nevertheless, I have a few more tricks up my sleevies. And by the time I'm done with those I'll have even more tricks. But unfortunately, it will take some time before I post them here.
