Indeed, it's a very high ratio. It would be nice to compare the figures to the ones of CFC and CGN.

Auw. I suppose it was too bad then.

Where have you been posting then?

Err... Apolyton, I assume. But I have been sinful and posted a few times on CFC too.

[Dauphin]

CGN has less than 500 users, 40 of which registered since the beginning of December.

There's no comparison, and there shouldn't be. They are different types of entity.

[DrSpike]

What about CFC stats? Do we have any operatives that can lay their hands on them?

[Rasbelin]

I assume it's Lefty then, but of course a scout could ask it in their community forum.

Yes one game! The whole idea behind this site and CFC and countless others is Civ. Everything else slowly evolved, I am not trying to downplay the significance of the others which have added quite a bit to the site!

@Ras, I was just saying that there are >50k in just two sites... (as an admiration to the fact)

So long...

But then how much of that is due to overlap?

[The Pioneer]

Good point Quite a few I'd think. I am registered over at CFC too. I rarely visit thouhg.

So long...

[DrSpike]

I would bet the number of people registered at both sites is very high.....I am registered at CFC, but I only have 50 posts or so.

[Rasbelin]

Exactly. I'm registered on ACS, CFC, CGN, Gamecatcher and All Civ, but I have only posts at ACS, CFC and CGN, plus 99,9% of all my posts are at Poly.

[The Pioneer]

Ok, this may sound lame but I think that's saying something about the game and its community! We can never get enough

So long...

hrm, hrm, a quick word on the infamous 'newbie patrol':

I am the one Willem is talking about in the first place.

- I created the newbie questions thread, got mod approval and got it 'stickied' and at the beginning I was the one who gave most of the answers. Meanwhile, things have changed and a LOT of experienced players do the 'helping along'.

- I re-did the FAQ thread (and continue to update it and keep it in shape and up to date). Many posters have taken to pointing interesting and helpfull stuff out to me; even TF PMs me once he sees something worth ading. That way, the entire Civ3 community at CFC contributes effectively to the FAQ

- both these things were done to help newbies and people with questions


- I hope it is understandable that I (and all others) do NOT want to spend their time re-checking and re-typing stuff that HAS BEEN PAINFULLY COLLECTED AND ORGANIZED before.

- None of us minds newcomers who are overwhelmed by the sheer size of CFC and post 'noob threads'. We do mind people who know better, but are too lazy to care.

- A mod became involved because I was fed up with people calling others names just because they directed newbies to the best and fastest source of info that I closed the FAQ and asked TF to make a statement on the sites policy. I did this to avoid having posters get into a flamewr that only hurts CFC and all its posters. Noone got told off for directing a newbie to info by a mod - ever!

- no newbie got told off for asking by anyone, ever!

- even people who really should have known better were never treated impolitely as far as I have seen. The tone might get a bit less then heartily friendly when someone posts 13(!) noob threads within 2 hours, but even then people were told: 'Check the FAQ thread' - is that so bad?



so please everyone, we are neither here nor at CFC to start bashing the other place.


Quit it!
even Willem and I have come to terms after a 'noob thread guideline' was posted.
