Approaching 13,000 registered logins...!
... not users, but logins 
Since Civ3 has been released (and the weeks before that), I have noticed many newbies with registration dates like "Sep 2001", "Oct 2001" and "Nov 2001"... one more time, the mechanism has been set in... a game is released, people buy it, many of them are ne wto civ games... they browse the web for information and find this place... most of us have found it this way, I haven't decided to join before I even read the address in some Civ2 hintbook though
The recent events in the United States have also lead to a higher sensitivity for (geo-)political topics, thus making the OT more popular for newbies. Therefore, in the days before the release, the traffic there was pretty high. The overall traffic at Apolyton, especially in the Civ2 section and the OT, has been decreasing since the release though, mostof the traffic is naturally happening in the Civ3 seciton now.
When I registered, 19 months ago, I got the registration number 5441, so the number of registered members has increased to an amount that is more than twice as big as that when I joined. The community is constantly growing, but with new posters arriving, old veterans leave us, for unknown reasons in most cases. Let us hope the servers won't explode one day
I give a
to the site and the community... and if my post count stays untouched for a few weeks, owners and moderators get a as well
( for Markos, Dan, Ming, Matt, Michael and all those who we never get to read a post from but officially are moderators )

BTW, you can watch the figure of registered logins rise by just refreshing the main page evry 5 minutes... if you have got too much time by your hands that is
