Status statistics? :)

But then we would have a really hard time topping the "current number of registered users" if we went and deleted most of them.

[Heresson]

Rasbellin; Apolyton needs lebensraum.

Oh, and leave it the way it is. Someone may wish to return after years.
And anyway, big number of members attract new ones.

[Rasbelin]

Lebensraum? Are you perhaps refering the "Lebensraum" Hitler wanted to have in the 1930's? So should we establish the 4th Reich here on Poly? Intriguing idea...

[Dauphin]

There is no need to delete the database unless space is an issue. Which I don't think it is.

[Mr. President]

I thought Apolyton already was the Fourth Reich.

/me prepares to be banned

It's RTS, not TBS. That's what Poly primarily covers.

Poly covers whatever seems to fit the interests of its patrons and owners. How else to explain EU coverage to some degree on the Misc section? Or Ron coverage extensively?

My guess is that if lots of Poly members worked on SC4 buildings and cities, Mark would give it a place in the database or something like that. If the interest is there, it isn't going to be too much work for Markos, and there isn't an already establilished site that holds the traffic, I would guess that a game would be added to the forums.

In this case, though, I would agree with you that SC4 won't be added. There simply won't be the interest.

Please notice that I said what ACS primarily covers. That means other games are also covered, like RoN and EU. RoN is covered mostly because of the links to former MicroProse and the fact that Brian Reynolds is leading the team at BHG. EU is covered because there's a large interest for it and because it's a strategy game. And these arguements seem to be IMO the reasons why Dan and Markos have chosen to cover those titles too.

Apolyton needs new areas to expand, that's what I ment.

[Mr. President]

Why not Magic? That has turns in it.

Nah, just kidding, I don't mind the site as it is. But if you have some time in the course of your activities, could you funnel some people towards the Alpha Centauri area?

Sim City didn't help Sidgames

-
Apolyton's charm is its focus.

What it SHOULD do if it expands- is cover MOO more... and become a MOO III hub, because MOO looks to become although ahving a smaller audience, be a better overall game than CIV III.

Apolyton covers EU, but that's already done by another site- we won't be a feeder however, MOO has a chance here Perhaps Apoly should focus on MOO for the new Moolennium

[ixnay]

If you fool around with the search, you can eventually figure out what position you're at. I'm #208.

[CapitanGarlic]

Well, I'm higher than at least 20,000 of them...
