Re: You know who I miss
I actually got a PM from econ21 a month or two ago. Granted, it was because Nigerians had broken into my email account and sent out a mass "I've been mugged overseas and need $1000, please send it ASAP" to everyone in my contacts list and he was just checking to make sure it was a scam, but it's nice to know he *is* still around, or at the very least popping in from time to time.Originally Posted by Kagemusha

Agreed.
Rotorgun does pop in now and again, but we send him and his unit to places hot and dusty from time to time so.....

Yes, we need to let these people know that the Backroom has been taken over by the commies, maybe that will make them come back?

Re: You know who I miss
I've realized that after M2TW and even worse, Empire Total War the number of new potential members has decreased since the quality of the series has massively declined. No matter what a lot of those listed were going to leave the forums as they grew up and became more involved in their own lives especially after college and entering the workforce and raising a family.
We wouldn't be morning those who had left if we had a full replenishment of new people to participate and keep each other entertained. It's easier to forget your old friends when you have new friends to take their place easily.
We all know this (or are thinking it) but it needs to be said in public: the forum community and the total war community at large is in danger of shrinking to a fatal size if this next title fails and fails hard. Not only is the interest of the old members hinging on the strength of this Shogun sequel (remake I guess some would call) but if Shogun turns out to be another slow, unmodifiable behemoth that Empire is, new members wont bother investing their time here.
I predict that if Shogun 2 succeeds we will be fine for at least a year with long term benefits depending on how modding is implemented. If Shogun fails like Empire has, then I'm predicting our forum will experience a slow but noticeable anti-Eternal September that might eventually just leave maybe a few dozen on here and TWC with significantly less then now.
I could just be a pessimist when it comes to this though for all I know. I do miss FactionHeir though, he helped me begin modding M2TW when I first started browsing this forum and I don't recall thanking him.

Re: You know who I miss
Well, saddly, TWCenter still has a crapload of active members, while this forum seems to become emptier every new month. There's no way I'd go onto TWCenter for something else than mods, but it has to be said too.
Re: You know who I miss
I miss Tribesman most of all. He was like a counter-balance to Fragony. I will never see his many smilies again.
As for the future of the .org, I fear it is bleak, or at least does not lie in the TW series. We've reached a point where our numbers are currently low enough that the new titles won't attract many people here anyway, since they'll go for the activity over at TWC. Now all we can do is sit and wallow in our bitterness in the Backroom, reminiscing over the glory days...
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

If the backroom isnt the hellstorm it was when I left, I may cosider going back, just to see how things are...

Re: You know who I miss
Personally I think that areas such as the Backroom have almost no link to the game whatsoever - I've not played any of the games in well over a year as RL impacts more and more.
I value the backroom as a discussion forum though, and wonder if there is a way of trying to get a more generalist interest in this specific area.

Re: You know who I miss
Help me here...
If I understood it correctly, the backroom is where you discuss politics and stuff? It's a pet hobby of mine...
However, I seem not to have access to that part of the forum, eventhough my new cool "member" status... Can only senior members access it, or what? If so, I guess there is no big question as to why it seems a bit dead, and that few/no new members show up there.
Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.
Re: You know who I miss
You just need to send an email to the admin, TosaInu, and he will give you access.

I returned here shortly, and it seems I left in a great string of loss. It is a shame to see that so many good people have left us. I would add in a moment of silence, but we need all the conversation we can muster.
