Exactly.

Historical discussions can continue to take place in the 'Off-Topic' forum as they have in the past.

I've often wondered what Dan is like in person. He seems to try very hard to display as little personality as possible here.

I highly suspect that I have been misguided obviously owing the fact that I have not played Civilizations. (only played SMAC, but I do know that is is NOT related to history in anyway.)

Heh...

It's time to face facts. Apolyton is too big a site for this server. And I'll be the first to bet it'll keep crashing. All we can do is get rid of the archives (forums and site), and won't that be a loss.

I agree with whoever it was who opened the thread.

CFC is an example of a great history forum, why shouldnt we have one?

Many of the people who play civ are interested(or might be interested) in history, so why not increase the prestige and quality of Apolyton?

And the "civilization site" thingie is not an excuse. We cover RoN, MoO, EU, we even have forums for Trade Wars, Nation States and Candle'Bre!
From the same reason Apolyton expanded to cover more game related material, it should also expand to cover real life material.

Sheesh, we even have a Stories&Diplomacy forum? Why cant it be in the OT?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I've always been a big advocate of a History Forum. Civilization is a game about human history, having a decent platform for history discussion would be most fitting. Apolyton is in fact one of the few major historic gaming sites that doesn't have one or more history forum(s) (most other sites for Civ, RoN, EU, etc do).

But alas, I doubt it'll ever happen
