Why does everything that humans get involved in have to end up in hierarchies, "we vs them", "elite vs mob" etc.?

A sad development indeed...

kind of hard to plan a war when your opponents can read the threads, eh?

Private Forum

You get vertical integration, keeping everything onsite, plus safer surfing by avoiding ICQ or one of the Instant Message deals, plus the cache of a private club.

What could be wrong with this??

Now, the only think I onder is where my icons are...

I'm still a member of two groups. Anyone else missing the cg icons? (I might be onto a bug here...)

Everything is very slow on the site this am. I am guessing that some features have been dropped.

I thought that at first, the problem were that some users had it and some didn't

private forums are so the diplomacy guys can spam more without being seen

but seriously, civ groups does all ow easier identification of the games people play or have played so can make it easier to see some one to ask a question of ..

No, not an OT civgroup. It would have too many members. And it wouldn't benefit anything.

And since when is it a problem if a civgroup has "too many members"? Are there any hard limits?

Let's just say it was better before, when the OT were closed on peak hours.

Don't sugar-coat it, Gramphos. Tell us what you really think of the OTers.

And then hordes of OTers would then invade all the on-topic forums and post stuff that was almost on-topic. Yeah, that was real great.
And this is my view-point from when I was an on-topic only person.

Well, I relly have nothing against the OTers just as long as the load isn't very high. I've actually myself made some posts in the OT, but not very often.

However, posting in the OT feels like a waste of time in most occations.
