If posts don't count in the OT why do they here?

The style of threads certainly changed, but I'm not so sure about the overall volume declining that much.

You did stop seeing as many threads that consisting of 100's of one word responses.

That was what I was thinking when I thought the overall volume had decreased. But if you took those out, you're probably correct in saying it didn't decline too much.

That strikes me more as a moderation issue than as a spam post count issue. If all mods left the OT for a week (or maybe even less) I think you'd come back to lots of pointless spam like that.

Yes, agreed, and it wouldn't take a week.

Well most of the emperors and Deities here, got their titles by posting in the Off Topic or democracy game forums.

Not really. Many of the newer Emperors and Kings got their post count mostly from on-topic discussion of Civ3 and games released since then that were covered by this site.

Tbh I doubt there is more than a handful of emperors who have not, at one time or another, been heavily into at least one Civ game.

I'd say less than only 15% of my counted posts were in the OT. And that wasn't till much later.

democracy game forums. Neither of which can be said to give them any credibility in game related matters.

Demogamers have to be good with whatever game they play. Without credibility, a minister would never keep his position.

Look at what happened with our second president, both inexperienced with Demogames, and with Civ2.

I think you need to look more closely at the Demogamers to see our contribution to the forums. You may even stay.

I didn't mean that those who participate in democracy games aren't good at the games they play. I only meant that the fact that you play democracy games doesn't nescessarily mean that you are great!! at the game in question. That's all.

It's the guys in the Demo games who ONLY post things like "sounds good to me" that you have to worry about

For some posters, that would be considered wordy.
