Whats happened to this forum?

**Jasper The Builder** · 02-27-2010, 16:29

When I created my account back in 2007 this forum was the best TW Forum around, it had thousands of active members and the board was actually nice to view. Now it's a ghost town and the board is sorry but horrible.

What happened then?

Hello Jasper The Builder,

The software was updated recently and none of the old parts can be reused or easily copied over. Then this vanilla install has its issues to solve. That takes time.

I was hoping ETW and NTW would bring in a much larger amount of new guys than it did.

CA stopped making good games and they won't support their old ones.

that has notihng to do with the forum....

In all honesty, many of those members you described came over as joint .org and TWCenter members. A huge part of them couldn't keep up with the maturity of the .org, while I changed and adapted to the .org and left TWCenter.

In short, most of the TWCenter people couldnt handle the .org.

Quite frankly that is insulting to the members of the twc of which I am one. I have seen just as much immaturity and idiocy in the backroom as in the pit. It is easy to avoid the fools in twc just ignore threads about eastern europe and you are good.

You don't think the quality of Total War games might affect participation on a Total War forum?

The Org has always has always been more a community of people who happen to have played a TW game at some time than really dedicated to just TW games, but I think you can't just disregard that right away. Few people post in the ETW/NTW forums because most of the people here aren't excited about the games.

i noticed the same thing, i joined the org and twc centre at roughly the same time in 2006. I used to mainly use the org becasue of EB, but the last 6 months i have started spending more time on the tw centre initially due to Broken Crescent. Whilst i am more of a lurker and not really a 'social' user of either forum, i get the impression that twc is much busier than the the org currently - Has this always been the case?

In regards to TW related things, I suppose that is the case. They have what? 10 times more members then us?
Org regulars hangs around not only for TW but also for Taverns, Social groups and most of all. Close Org community and our beloved over lord Tosa.

I mean no disrespect to TWC as they are big successful forum and I visit there sometimes, but Org is where I started and it is where I spend most of my time.
