Kuci would surely know about some of the Eventis downtime...

Of course the number of spin-off sites is also testimony to Poly's greatness. I would surely hate to see it go.

With the release of Civ 4 we will not only see a ton of new users, but hopefully also indeed an increase in the number of active users .

-but the main thing that will matter is if we can retain them and suck them into the OT or somewhere else, breathing new life back into the site

On another note, it'll be really interesting when some of the real oldies- CornMaster, Shadowstrike, Bird, etc. return and see the SAME PEOPLE posting here that were 5 and even 6 or 7 years ago

The OT doesn't need any new life breathed into it.

No, I don't think it does. I think it's more the on-topic forums that need more activity.

But most of the people who stick around to post on-topic wait in the OT between releases

And the on-topic activity is bound to increase. After Civ3 was released, the Civ3 forums were extremely active. The Civ4 forums will liekly be even more active - it's 4 years later after all.

Maybe the off-topic will accidentally get deleted

I'm sure the Civ4 spike will be marked. There should be an x-pack spike too.

IME, a lot of the people in the OT just don't post on-topic period.

Yeah, scared me. Well, 3.5 years now, but will be over 4 years by the time Civ4 is out. Damn. It only seems like yesterday that I was posting here in the Civ3 forums, hyped about the coming release and checking civ3.com every day, and now it's 4 years later, checking the Firaxis Civ4 site every day and awaiting the Civ4 release and any new info... time flies.

yes expect a whole new bunch of people we havent seen before to come and join us, then dissappear just as quickly and only a handful remain as we return to our usual 1000 posters..

Nope, a part of these people will remain here. Just look at the new people who registered here because of Civ3, and many of them are now veteran members of the community. The same will be with Civ4. Yes, many will disappear after having posted once or twice, but we will also gain new prominent members, including Civ4 strategists and others .

I've been active on various fora since '98 or '99. The one I've been the longest on is CFC, where I registered in Aug 2001, and am still active.

I wonder what my post total over all fora is ...
