    Yeah when ETW comes out we will be swarmed by n00bz.

    Having said that, most will probably only make one post. Has anyone ever searched the member list by post count? Half the members have made 0-1 posts, whats the point even registering?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Quite a lot of members were put off in the past by the Junior Member rank. It used to be the case that Junior Members could only post in the Entrance Hall and nowhere else. This was changed a few years back and Junior Members now have wider access to the main TW game category forums. This is probably where a lot of those one time posters originate from. Many though are simply those that came here to ask a question and then departed and forgot about the place. Not everyone is that much into forums of course.

    To truly appreciate the .Org, you need to spend some time here. I remember when I came couple of years ago to check out some things about RTW. If it hadn't been for some interesting discussion in the Monastery, I probably wouldn't have come back. But I did, and found out about the Monastery, Backroom, Frontroom, Interactive Histories and all those stuff that truly make the Org great. Nowadays, I almost completely ignore TW related parts of the forum.

    Some parts of the forum are less active, true. The Monastery gets just a couple of posts per day. It didn't use to be that way, IIRC, and that saddens me. That's my favourite place, although I read far more than I post there. Backroom, on the other hand, is busier than ever.

    Very good point. Maybe the number of people posting is directly related to the number of interesting discussions???

    I have not even been here for a year, so I can't really comment on if this is a slow period or not. Also (insert lame "less active? I thought the org had been gaining a couple of pounds rather quickly." pun).

    If you're bored you could always join Last of the Romans. Plenty of activity in there...
