What's the problem?

I think this happens when it does not see you as logged in. Why is something I do not know.

[Theseus]

Nope, I'm logged in. This simply shows that friggin' NO ONE was in the General or Strategy forums (among other things).

You think that's the case at, oh, CFC for instance?

[Jon Shafer]

PBEM and Democracy Games... looks good to me.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

What is there in the Strat forum to compete with the smart-assed smack talk of the PTW DemoGame? We should come up with something enertaining to draw people....

How about a bake sale?!

[Theseus]

CP, the light bulbs indicate who is in what forums... ignore the heathens who come after.

Really, I think this is bad.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I'm sure the traffic will pick up with the release of Conquests and all new elements to debate and analyze.

I always thought burned out lightbulbs on a forum means that there are no new posts in that forum since you last visited poly. Which would mean the other forums were more active since the last time you visited, but doesn't mean that they weren't being read.

Now a lightbulb on a person means they're either logged in at the moment or not (which can also be hidden if I remember correctly). Which means at the time of my edit of this post (around 19:15 PDT), Theseus, vxma1, Chilean President, and Trip have all found better things to do on a Friday night besides looking and posting at Apolyton, but as for myself and GhengisFarb, well, what can we say...

[FrostyBoy]

Yup thats right badams52

[asleepathewheel]

Where's the conquests forum?


Are you upset that Poly is up for once?


And Theseus, is that the default forum-view? Damn n00b.

[Sheik]

I have been noticing some good things at CFC too. The best thing at CFC IMO is the creation forums.

Theseus, I assume you are still a little mad that the new RCP strat came from there?

We should start by adding a Conquests forum. And then maybe with a Conquests forum we could also get some more Atari traffic here?

I have to agree with this. The creation forums and mods there are far better there. Very easy to find what you're looking for. I don't know if they have more stuff, just that what they do have is easy-I don't like trying to find stuff here.

I agree. 1st get the stability. 2nd get the conquests forum. Atari will post there. Better for Poly

I do not see CFC as all that active either. I would expect the biggest draw back to this forum is that it is often not available and is often very slow.
The reason I thought it was the login was that you cut off the parts that show activity. That is what I get when I am not logged in.
I tend to check in 5-6 times a day, but do not hang around. I look for new post and bail out.
If I do not get any emails, then I know the site is having problems.

[FrustratedPoet]

badams and Sn00py are right, Theseus: The light bulbs show if there have been any new posts in those fourms since you were last logged on.

Also, note that the Strat forum has more posts than General. Surely that's a good thing, no?
