eeeer sorry, but i heard this before. 3 years ago. in the time of ctp1. it still hasnt happened.

Look again.
One of the first things Leo did when he was able to update the site was to open an EU2 section. It doesn't have much in it as yet but thats beside the point as EU2 hasn't really been out that long.
Perhaps he can include a Candle'Bre section too once that gets off the ground?

[Edit: and double ditto wrt FMKs suggestion ]

The only reason I haven't added a few EU2 mods to the download section (yet) is that I am shy about spending Markos' bandwidth.

we cant have a forum in two categories

it would be out of place to have a civ2 forum outside of the civ2 category so i think it should be in the civ2 category

the name can be Scenario League / Civ2-Creation

currently SL is around 90% about civ2. if and when the focus is shifted more towards other games, we'll act accordingly

as i dont see any objections, i'll move on with the creation of the PBEM forum and the transfer of threads shortly

[winterfritz]

I also agree with FMK

Thanks for the moderatorship, Markos.

I think the clear concensus is that SL remain a separate site, though no one minds if Civ2 Creation is folded in. However, it remains a forum dedicated to a hosted site, that being the Scenario League site. Given the new plans to revitalize the site, the forum should remain in the "Hosted Sites" column, along with the Spanish Civ forum. SL still represents a community of interest, rather than a category of Civ2. The dedicated forum is critical to our hopes to revitalize the site and community.

techumseh, the categorization of the forum has nothing to do with whether or not the forum is dedicated to the site. the new plans(magazine) doesnt take the site outside civ2. and as i said if something like this does happen we will evaluate the situation again. i believe we have proven that we dont treat hosted sites as our own property

placing it under civ2 will make it easier for new people to notice it and use it. leaving it under HS ruins the whole point of merging the two forums...

i got an additional proposal for the pbem forum. why not give the new mods power over there instead of ming? it seems obvious to me that they are already involved there playing, why add to mings load?

wait, what did i just say, give ming more time for banning in the OT? what was i thinking!

[MarkG]

how often will moderation action need to be taken in the pbem forum?
i think everyone's civilized in these games...

[Pavlov]

Maybe the mods can spend some time doing spot checks for cheaters?

[MarkG]

the only ability a moderator will have that i can think of being in use to spot cheaters is to see the IP of a post

[Pavlov]

Well that would be useful too. Let's say an outed cheater returns under a new name, the mod might be able to catch him. Um, well I mean it's not like there's going to be any spam in the PBEM-forum so they might as well make themselves useful.

*hides from mulitple banning rods*

[MarkG]

well if the guys dont have anything better to do that check IP addresses...

[Pavlov]

Come on you guys, surely you can scrap all your real life interests just to catch a cheater or two every year?

Based on the CFC board I think that a dedicated mod would be a good idea...
