Exactly.

Historical discussions can continue to take place in the 'Off-Topic' forum as they have in the past.

Interesting that Dan has the same avatar as laurentius.......

Lorizael · July 15, 2003, 00:36

I've often wondered what Dan is like in person. He seems to try very hard to display as little personality as possible here.

Typical whining by CFC infidels.

There you go, the co-owner of this site has spoken so you can head back to the OT with your History threads.

Heresson · July 15, 2003, 07:37

I'm not CFC infidel... But perhaps my mengtioning of this site didn't make Apolytonians receiptive...

I will not come back to OT, the land of slavery.

Rasbelin · July 15, 2003, 07:40

Hmmm... who's DL could it be...

I beg your pardon? I seem to remember that the C in "Apolyton CS Forums" stands for Civilzation and I was under the impression that said Civilization is a game that has very much to do with history. So history should be anywhere BUT the OT.

Write me down as in favor of a history forum

DrSpike · July 15, 2003, 13:27

It also has to do with fighting.........lets have a martial arts forum........and a spaceships forum.

Skanky Burns · July 16, 2003, 03:20

And how do you think the population size kept growing?

I'm not a DL!!!

DrSpike · July 16, 2003, 05:06

Um..........glad to hear it.

Now I think you are a DL.

geeslaka · July 16, 2003, 05:32

Spikey: When are you going to kill panag and Skanky in single combat for their posts?

DrSpike · July 16, 2003, 05:51

Talking of DL's.........it's Mr Most Likely a DL himself.

mrmitchell · July 16, 2003, 11:25

I've been waiting on confirmation from Ming of that one.

Well the game is related to history but that doesn't mean history is related to the game.

Lorizael · July 17, 2003, 02:14

Anyone who thinks Civilization has anything to do with history is seriously misguided.

Snowflake · July 17, 2003, 10:43

I highly suspect that I have been misguided obviously owing the fact that I have not played Civilizations.

(only played SMAC, but I do know that is is NOT related to history in anyway.)

badams52 · July 18, 2003, 00:50

In light of the recent downtimes, one thing this site doesn't need is yet another forum requiring resourses.

Skanky Burns · July 18, 2003, 01:38

Putting that spin on it, I wholeheartedly support the rejection of a history forum.

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 03:45

History forum

OTF spam

Babe threads

David Floyd · July 18, 2003, 04:12

I say we kill the Moo3 forums, and replace them with a single history forum.

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 04:27

I concur

While we're at it, how about the Civ III forums?

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 04:39

This forum should go too, IMO.

DrSpike · July 18, 2003, 04:51

I thought someone said getting rid of these dead forums wouldn't help with present difficulties?

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 04:59

Heh...

It's time to face facts. Apolyton is too big a site for this server. And I'll be the first to bet it'll keep crashing. All we can do is get rid of the archives (forums and site), and won't that be a loss.

Panag · July 18, 2003, 08:37

hi ,

, well what about a forum fo facts , like the numbers and specs on lets say warships , that could be used for civIII creation , .......

more something like a database , ......

have a nice day

Eli · July 18, 2003, 08:55

I agree with whoever it was who opened the thread.

CFC is an example of a great history forum, why shouldnt we have one?

Many of the people who play civ are interested(or might be interested) in history, so why not increase the prestige and quality of Apolyton?

And the "civilization site" thingie is not an excuse. We cover RoN, MoO, EU, we even have forums for Trade Wars, Nation States and Candle'Bre!
From the same reason Apolyton expanded to cover more game related material, it should also expand to cover real life material.

Sheesh, we even have a Stories&Diplomacy forum? Why cant it be in the OT?

Heresson · July 19, 2003, 03:40

exactly

Locutus · July 19, 2003, 13:11

I've always been a big advocate of a History Forum. Civilization is a game about human history, having a decent platform for history discussion would be most fitting. Apolyton is in fact one of the few major historic gaming sites that doesn't have one or more history forum(s) (most other sites for Civ, RoN, EU, etc do).

But alas, I doubt it'll ever happen
