    Why did my thread get moved from Civ3-General forum?

    Started a thread in Civ3-General titled, "Need "land claim" feature in Civ3". Today it was moved to a dark corner of ACS' basement where no one goes called "Civilization Games General/Future".

    It would be nice if the Mod that moved this thread from Civ3-General at least gave an explanation why other threads from the same forum like "If you could add one improvement to Civ3" and "How can the UN be made useful" did not get moved when mine did?

    Hehe it looks like a Civ3 General thread to me. Maybe you upset one of the mods.

    Try MarkG. According to the Audit trail, he was the one that moved it.

    Well since Firaxis are now in the process of making Civ 4, there is really no point in discussing changes to Civ 3. It seems to me that it belongs in Future Civ.

    Don't worry bfg9000. That forum will be very much visited in the coming months.

    How can it die more quickly if there are less new threds posted to push it down off the front page?

    It can't be done in a patch, hence it is a future enhancement idea,

    A thread dies if nobody looks at it. In busy forums that can happen when it gets pushed off the page. In less-used forums that happens because nobody cares about the forum. Look at total # posts in that forum vs. Civ3-General. Tell me which is visited more.....
