What Does Apolyton Mean? Tired of ads?

Does the word Apolyton mean anything (in Greek or any other language)? If so, what?

Empress has the right idea! We should all look to see what Apolyton means to each and every one of us.

It means rural.

A = without (as in a-theist, without belief in god)
Poly = many (as in polynomial, which is a mathetical thing, or polystyrene, a plastic)
Ton = town (common prefix, for example Princeton, town of princes)

A-poly-ton therefore means "without many towns", or "rural".

So, we visit the Rural Civilization Site (in English).

NO no no!

I worked this out before:

A=without

poly=many

ton=unit of measurement (ton)

So Apolyton is "Without much weight" So Apolyton is all fluff and hollow.

Increase Your PM Length

I thought we'd been though this before.

It is suppsed to mean ultimate i.e. last.

As in "Apolyton, civilization site" --> "last, civilization site"

Or in other words, it's the last place you'd look, for information on Civilization.

Put an end to popups!

OK thanks...I thought it would mean ultimate...
Perhaps this should be added to the FAQ? I didn't even know there was a history section.
