Has any one else noticed that this forums membership has more than doubled in the Last year?

My god that is impressive to say the least. From around 1600 members a year ago to more than 3800 now. Way to go Shrapnel.

Not AS hard to notice is how this forum dwarfs other forums in Posts. Check THAT out!

Yes, but only in the Last month. Forum membership had doubled in the time frame Atrocities is talking about before MOO3 came out.

At least I have the chance to visit this site while I'm at work. If not, I don't even want to think about it. But I should be getting my new computer soon, so I can then start visiting this site at night and on weekends.

There, that ought to keep things quiet around here...

Granpa Kim, I'm in the same postion. I leave for a short time and then everything I was reading goes away... fortuneately it is replaced by additional reading material. So I really dont mind, I just try to keep out of long conversations. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Man, you are driving me crazy with your rant, isn't enough for you that you chose to call yourself Gregwoman and pick the most possible disturbing picture of an old man with bubbling dirty lips?!

WEll, excuse me. Maybe I've mentioned my computer problems more often than I thought, but you'll be glad to know as of tomorrow I'll be getting a new one and won't be saying that again. I didn't realize I was "ranting", just bemoaning the fact that I was computerless and couldn't play this great game. And,hey, what's wrong with Albert Einstein? I think that's a great pic, considering the choice of avatars. And as far as my handle, just chalk that up to laziness, because that's most of my e-mail address, and I didn't feel like making up a new handle at the time.

Bowman is my Last name. Can't help what it sounds like in other countries. Maybe I'll change my handle eventually, but not now.

There's nothing wrong with Albert Einstein. He was a great genius who revolutionized physics! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif When you say the word "genius", many people think of Einstein... And no, he doesn't look like an old Alzheimer victim, he's just deep in thought, pondering relativity and the unified field or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But just to let everyone know, I did get my new computer this weekend, so no more ***** & moan Messages from me about the lack of one.

Sort of OT from what this thread was about in the first place, but it's the case of another, "did you notice this?" type of thing.

Did you notice that if you take your star rating system in your profile, you no longer show up on the "recent visitors" bar? I noticed this when Fyron took his rating system off, ever since then he hasn't shown up in the recent visitors section even though I know he's on the forums. I found this interesting to say the least. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

March 24th, 2003, 09:41 PM

Rags, I haven't had my Ratings 'active' for a long time. As far as I can tell, I still show up in the 'recent visitors' list, so I suspect it's probably something else, like maybe he just doesn't log-out any more!

Cheers!

Nope i see david gervais Online all the time on the recent visitors list, must be that fyron is actually a integrated computer which is taking over the world http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I think that new avatars gave him fancy powers again!!!

Hmmm, that's odd then. I didn't notice you don't have your star rating on David, otherwise I would've kept my mouth shut. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Wonder why this is then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif Another one of lifes unexplained mysteries I suppose. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

You'll give everything away!

Rags, there are more options than showing Ratings and all that. Go look at the options in your profile. I am sure you can figure it out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
