I flip back and forth to different forums on Shrapnel and am always suprised that for a game that was released in 2000, that the forum population (number viewing) is always larger than every other forum.

Notably, Shrapnel's other blockbuster title, Dominions 2, and its follow-up Dominions 3 (which I preordered), have a population which when added together almost equals the Space Empires Forum at any given time.

Kind of interesting.

We have a good thing going here and I hope it continues.

So I guess this is a "rah!rah! Go us!" comment http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Im wondering what will happen once SEV is released, and a new publisher will offer a new board.

As long as Shrapnel Games keeps this forum active, I'd suspect this will remain the most active forum even after SE:V has been released. Right now, the Strategy First forums are rather slow...

Not to mention primitive, compared to these forums.

yeah, this is the first place I check for SE stuff. Followed Closely by SE.net. I'm here every single day. Usually several times per day.

Stratgy First... usually 1/week I'm there.

After 4 years of being on this forum, I still love it. I consider this place to be my home on the net.

I never have visited SF1's forums. Maybe I should go and have a look at it.

You never know, if Aaron ever leaves SFI and forms a new game company with a new game franchise he just might come back here.

I've almost made this my homepage; thought about it several times. But other people in the house have an annoying habit of using this computer. This is always my first or second stop after opening any browser session.

I dunno; the forums don't seem as fun as they used to.

I still come here almost everyday. The forum will probably get more active once SEV comes out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I agree. Right now we are in the "dead zone" in waiting for SEV. I know once it is out I will be here a lot asking questions and posting stuff I find.

I still come here every weekday; I just don't post very often.

SE4 was and is a great game. What else is there to say?

Narf becoming blase? Say it ain't so! Besides, it's time for me to do a little gratuitous posting. ....whistle.... Even at my miserable rate, I'll be a second lieutenant soon.

Sorry, but the slow down to SEV is affecting even me.

I understand. As I've said before, I'd rather wait a little longer if it means there will be fewer bugs. Keep the faith.
