So I tried searching for "We Play Civ"...

[Ming]

The site was doomed to begin with. They had this mistaken opinion that they could not only take the majority of the traffic away from Poly (since EVERYBODY hated it) but also attract modders who already had a home, and get many new people to the game... IN A DECLINING CIV MARKET. Those assumptions were silly at best. They also thought that the combination of their personalities would be a magnet to many people... another bad assumption. They also thought they had a "new" concept and that they knew how to do things better... yet another bad assumption. They are now pretty much down to staff members posting, and a few other hard cores. And that's about it. Their traffic is so low, it doesn't even track on any of the major web tools.

On the plus side, while Civfanatics traffic continues to decline, Poly is up 5%. Yeah, CFC is still MANY times greater than Poly... but the latest traffic numbers show that our new MAJORITY owners have made some good decisions. My hat's off to them. It's nice to see Dan in a minority position for a change, since his style was to not make decisions until it was usually too late. Congrats to the new management team, and the new mods.

Ditto, and it's great not to have to put up will all the crap we used to.

[Japher]

That's because the new mods contribute half the crap.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You just put up with different crap .

[SlowwHand]

CFC sucks.

Totally. Sometimes decisions just need to be made. In a site like this, make the decisions, make progress and change it when you **** up.

[Japher]

It's hard for some people to admit when they've fcked up though.

It should be easy for the current admins since they are used to it.

Admit it. We wore you down and now you are a broken man.

[rah]

I will admit that there are a handful of people here that really knew which button to push to get me going.

Now I really don't care.

And no need to heap criticism on DanQ. Running a small site or organization like this is far harder than it looks. Certainly there are things he could have done better, and I still don't like that he left, but I run a small organization and have some sympathy for Dan. Like him I seem to get more complaints than offers to help, even while I invest considerable amounts of my own time and money into the org, as Dan did with poly. I for one would welcome him back if and when he gives up this WPC nonsense.

I will dance on WPC's grave along with everyone else here, but there is no need to make it personal against Dan.

Sorry rah, but it was just so easy!

[Lancer]

Yes, that's a FACT!.

It's really nice that ming is totally powerless too.

[Colon™]

Someone please fill me in on what happened...

[Lancer]

Since when? Since DanQ, Rah and Ming quit?

[Colon™]

Perhaps since DanQ quit? Not sure.
