Yeah, I decided to curtail my visits to the IG site until the game's gone gold. It's just too stressful over there right now...

The major problem with the IG boards is that most topics of discussion have been exhausted. Every time people ask BTs new questions they get the NDA quoted at them.

Suffering from ads?

Although I was using the Apolyton forums for Civ3 info, I went to the IG MOO3 forums first. They're very easy to get to. Just type "www.moo3.com" and click 2 times. One goes to the game's web site to see if there's any news, then clicks to the forums because the game's website has changed. So naturally there's more traffic and more complaints. Lots of people go to the IG forums just after seeing that game's website hasn't changed sustantially in over a month.

Occasionally there is a tidbit of news on the IG forums that makes looking at them worthwhile for me.

Wow, you really have no ****ing clue what youre talking about, do you? Ladies and gentlemen, behold the power of cheese....I mean ignorance.

Let me guess, someone "told" you what happened, but of course you didnt actually witness any of it yourself, did you, since most transpired over the sum of 4, count them 4, private messages, which you of course do NOT get to see. Am I right so far? Of course I am. I dont even use instant message services, at no point did I *EVER* personally attack him (or anyone for that matter. Being blunt and/or disagreement is NOT a personal attack), and the closest thing that could possibly have been considered a "personal attack" was when I pointed out a misspelling of *his* in a post that roundabout called *me* a name. And at no point did I EVER, EVER, EVER say anything about him being Greek. Please. Hopefully most people grew out of name-calling in high school

Heres an idea: from now on, know what youre talking about and have ALL the facts before you go posting something.

First you won't tell him what you got banned for, then you ***** him out because he asked, now listen carefully, he asked IF you were the guy.

You didn't tell him why, and that's fine, that's your business.

But, if you acted like this on the IG board, it's not hard to figure out why you got banned.

ACK!

oi. touchy touchy. looks like a nerve was struck.

here's an idea: maybe you should READ THE QUESTION before you go off on your infantile little tantrum.

no wonder you got banned.

I read it fully. It still sounds more like an accusation, since he seems to have all these "facts" that simply....arent.

There is no asking 'if' here. It reads like an accusation to me too.

They finally anounced moo3 going gold and the 120+ page Release Date thread probably exploded.

Chantz did mention that they were going to redo the forums post release, with different topics. They may be doing that now.

Or maybe the 'gone gold' thread exceeded even the release date thread and the forum just imploded.

i don't think that the moo3 community is big enough to shut down the forums server. something probably got infected or shutdown or something...

which sucks because the past two weeks or so the forums have gotten a little calmer..

IG did say they were going to redo the forums. But also this morning I saw a news report stating a server virus was going around affecting internet service around the globe. Was pretty early this morning... midnight CDT or so I think. This morning I have had difficulty accessing a couple of sites including moo3.com and weather.com. Go fig.

Maybe we have this Sapphire worm to blame for keeping us from the forums.

Does anybody know if they're running those?

Adacore,

Well I can't say for certain, as Velizar is actually in charge... but I would assume so... It doesn't look like I can post the Turn 5 Summary anyways. And I haven't even played my own turn....

So I certainly hope so, I just hope IG is up soon.... otherwise I fear that the game might go down the drain.
