	Poll: what should we do with the Mac forums Full PM-box? Change here!

Considering how little Mac people actually post here, we should come up with some ground breaking scheme for these forums.

Where games have been successfully launched and maintained, posts have been regular. See the examples in the Alpha Centauri section.

Ergo, if you want more posts, get more games going.

a few random ideas...

• Civ Mac/PC tournament
  
• Hold the Windows/Mac debate from the OT in here
  
• More PBEM games
  
• PM around
  
• Bring all the mac forums together into one, and focus it mainly on civ3, but allow for other random discussion and PBEMs.
  

go for it.

I'm trying. My "ongoing" game seems to have dried up, and after a month, I now have three people interested in a new game.

D_dudy, as mac users we're always power hungry. You should know that.

Admiral, et al.:

Are there any other sites where Civ II Macintosh players gather? If so, go to those sites and "advertise" 'Poly as a good place to hang out, so to speak.

I know MacCentral is a congregation point for Mac folks, but I don't know how many of them play Civ II or would be interested in coming to 'Poly. Furthermore, as the release date for Civ III Macintosh comes closer, we may see a natural surge in participation.

I think we have to recruit to a degree, though. MacCentral is about the only other place I hang out to any degree where Mac users predominate.

MacAddict and www.insidemacgames.com both have fairly large, potentially civ-interested, mac bases. Cyber, consider this your first field assignment.

I must admit when I was 'browsing' the forums, before I got my account (Learning the flow of the forums and all that ). I was looking for strategy guides and the like. The Mac section had nothing, just a few PBEM games that had been sitting there.

Now don't get me wrong. I love my Mac as much as anyone , but when I needed those strategy guides, the PC forums was where I'd go. I'm not alone ether, many newcomers like myself took one look at the mac forums and beat a hasty retreat to the PC forums.

As for the poll, I say we recrute new members, and agressively at that. I know for a fact that the way things are going now, we really could abandon the forums, and nobody would even remember us.

If you wish you may now flame me. At least it will get the post count up.
