Bad luck Hooah :(

Random thought: Makes me kinda sad that this place seems dead now. Yet I keep seeing long term users. Is it this place or just total war?

At least the emoticons are cool

Thanks, I kinda expected to not get in, the place was very, very selective when it comes to international students, almost as selective as the Ivy League schools.

Anyways, the TW community is bustling, its just here which is failing. A lack of a mod scene here plus the spectacular launch failure that was Rome 2 really hurt us.

I would have put it further back than Rome's launch. Though I don't really remember that far back, was Rome's launch that bad?

I remember Empire was pretty bad.

Still sad you didn't get in, you're a good guy Hooah :)

Wasn't .org the most popular fan-forum about TW? What happened and it was surpassed by twcenter?

Yup, in the Rome 1 and Medieval 2 days we were neck and neck with the TWC with activity. But then ETW came out and the modders just did not come to us, Im not really sure why, but they stayed at the TWC and no mods really came here. So thus started our long decline. We werent getting new members, and as members moved on in their lives, our population declined. To be fair, at first we were not so hospitable to new members, forcing them to post a certain number of times in the entry forum before they could join the rest of the forum. This drove away a lot of new members unfortunately.

EDIT: I would say the biggest blow from Rome 2 was that it was being trumped as our big return on these boards, and we were really hoping to bring back old players who got interested again in the games, but they were quickly driven away due to how bad the release was.

Get boxing lessons, a friend of mine gives them to troubled people and it really helps.

Do something to address it now, because you can wreck your body if you don't. I've learned that the hard way.

I don't think I will ever understand why the music video for Kiss From a Rose is about Batman.
