Why has CivFanatics overtaken Apolyton in members?

[Dis]

I never once responded to his posts. I just am not that interested in Russia, or his views on it.

Sorry if I recalled incorrectly. You weren't a CIV4 mod around the time of release? Was MtG? Or maybe it was always Locutus and Solver and I have that detail wrong.

I wasn't mentioning names of mods to level criticism at individuals, btw. People have jobs, families, other interests, and other forums to pay attention to.

If anything, I am saying the pool of leadership for the site is too small.

No offense was taken. I just wanted to clarify it for those that maybe were not be aware of just how active I am in the civIV mp community here. And it does cut in on what little free time I usually have, so You're right, I can't spend the amount of time I want to help out here as much as is needed.

I never visit the CivFanatics forums. Do they have as many long time posters getting driven off in disgust like we have had with Serb and Ned recently?

Well, most posters tend to slip away quitely and it takes a while to realize they're gone so it's impossible to tell for certain, but the I'd say it's pretty low. There certainly are no mass exoduses lately.

Being active in the civ4MP community doesn't equal to being an active civ4 mod

I do act as a mod in the civ4 forums but I have never had the time or the desire to create mods for any versions of civ. MY primary interest has always been MP. When you're playing humans, you don't need to mod the game. It is sufficiently fantastic without it.

Another reason is the fact that entire threads are inexplicably deleted, like my frog thread was

When you act like an ass... don't be surprised when it gets deleted

I even went to the trouble of linking to three external smileys for my contribution. All gone.

With 'a civ4 mod' I actually meant 'moderator', not mod creator
And as a matter of fact I do have some MP mod requests! But you are right, playing MP games in the diplo mood doesn't require much modding from the game.

Indeed, but he comes to the OT once in a blue moon.

And this post is just an example: there are some sharks (including you) here who enjoy dogpiling and tearing any poster to pieces, and we've lost several people because of that. Serb notably. Also, Oerdin really wondered about keeping coming at some point, precisely because of the OT's judgementalness.
