Do We Need A Heroes Of Might And Magic Forum?

[Andemagne]

well?

[Urban Ranger]

No. You can count all the M&M threads on one hand.

[TheStinger]

Not really

[FrustratedPoet]

I don't think so. There are a lot of HOMM fans here, but there aren't many threads about it and Mark and Dan ask for quite a high level of participation for a new forum (witness the Story forum plea in Community).

If we get a couple of new HOMM threads every day then we should ask for a new forum. But we'll never get that many, so...

[thinkingamer]

It would be nice, but it's not likely to happen

[Grumbold]

No but I think we're getting to the stage of needing to distinguish between 'Other PC games' and 'Games on Other Platforms'

[Urban Ranger]

I have just noticed most HoMM threads are silly polls, such as favourite spell, character type, or town type.

Pah.

[General Ludd]

No.

Where'd you get the idea that apolyton might need one?

[DarkCloud]

I though about it... but there really isn't that much to talk about HOMM-wise In fact, we nearly have as many posts on HoMM III here as the boards at celestial heavens have (actually we have more ) but that's not much considering- sadly, there isn't too much to discuss, unless we want to organize a scenario-competition Like H3Trio had

...Anyone want to do that?

If we did that, then perhaps the amount of threads would warrant a fora

[MattyBoy]

there isn't too much to discuss

Exactly.
I loved the game, and I enjoyed the strategy/balance of it, but the strategy doesn't warrant discussion in the same way as, say, Civ2 or SMAC.

The forum would be one of those forums that you visit each day and are disappointed to find that nobody has found anything to post about. i.e: a waste of time. At least in Other Games you have an audience.

[DarkCloud]

-Well, if we could organize something around the game,,, then perhaps there would be reason for a forum... Oh well, that's unlikely- since even the 'semi-official' fora- Celestial Heavens for example; fail to have much discussion on the subject anymore

PS: mattyboy- what happened to your country flag?

[MattyBoy]

I decided to drop the flag, for the sake of aesthetics, while I have this avatar.

maybe we should just get to it. posting new thread every day.

Urban Ranger: So?

Osweld: I was looking at my post count on the other day and.....

[tniem]

At this point the only HOMM discussion going on is whether or not it needs a forum. I think it is probably a great game and something that I would love to discuss when I get it this Christmas but there is not enough traffic on this site to justify it.


Edit: Never mind, it appears you guys are going for the forum and have created a number of new discussions. I guess if there are enough responses to it, I would be in favor of it.

tniem: read my responce to Osweld.
