That's great news. Next time you ban people for this reason someone awkward person is sure to bring up the fact that PLUS users are exempt.

Welll, I for one, think that Markos' policy is is fair...After all, PLUS users are contributing monetarily to Apolyton...so (I think) one of the benefits should be being yelled at in private as compared to being yelled at in the open forum.

But if their email is invalid how exactly are you going to email them ...



I think this email forwarding thing would have to disable itself if more than say 5 emails in a row were bounced, or else you'd end up with issues. That, and since it's a two stage thing (ie sending to poly and then poly sending to you) you'd probably not know if your email was bounced or not, unless there's a system to let people know when emails they send got bounced in the second stage ... ?

Lifers only? Crud What about the rest of us, who will end up paying MORE for continual Poly renewed subscriptions?

And Mark - LOVE the avatar. If I didn't have my whole Vegeta thing going I might have taken Al for my own personality

I voted for the service just for the simple fact that any service that allows for the upkeep or increase of traffic to and from this site stemming from anything from Civ to whatever is a boon to the future of Apolyton and to the future of Civ as a whole.

Being an ardent Civ2er I've seen an increase in interest in Civ2 on this site since I joined because of the ability of MarkG to implement changes that make playing Civ more enjoyable. For example, our new CivGroup in the scenario league has increased our sense of community and has brought new and old Civ2 people back to Apolyton. Mark's rebirthing of the Civ2 tournament has increased activity in the forums and has created interest were there once was little.

The whole key to making this site survive is to accomodate those that play to the interests of the site, being the fans of Civ and strategy games. Allowing for the ease of play for any of the showcased games will only help the site.

So yeah, email forwarding would make it a hell of a lot easier to coordinate playtesting of scenarios, notifying the Civ2 community of changes, and for one, making Aployton the center of Civ activity.

It's all about the traffic. Ask the advertising gurus.

Only problem i see with having other addys other than poly.com is that for us PBEM folks - perhaps the majority of ppl who would use this - we'd lose the ability to just send it to name@poly.com automatically without having to ask what the email addy is first ...

Though i suppose you can have a link on the profile, but anything that puts it somewhere you can find it makes it trollable ... but any step towards this is a good one

When this becomes a reality I want to switch to a lifetime subscription. How will this work? Will the amount I paid already be applied to a lifetime subscription? What exactly do I need to do?

if you go to the plus pages and attempt to buy a lifetime subscription, the price you'll pay will be the normal price minus what you have paid already.

you can try it out at http://apolyton.net/members without having to proceed to the paypal page
