    Remember when Apolyton was the bee's knees?

    Found in the Similar Threads section of the Cosby thread:

    Are these mass-migrations to 'poly a good thing ? - Apolyton Civilization Site

    I've noticed that whenever a new civ game or expansion is released , there is this huge influx of newbies to the fora . What I'd like to know is , is this good for poly ? Or is it better with the 'trickle' of registraitons , as in upto 30-50 new members per day . If you check the number of registered members , you'll find that they will go up drastically for the next few months .

    Yes and no. First of all the negative effect is that it generates a large number of pointless threads which are basically very newbie questions which have already been answered or which the game documentation covers. Also some newbies tend to dislike the older community members. The positive effect is of course growth of the community, but that's not good, if the resources of the site don't match up with the ever growing ACS community.

    It would be interesting to know how many members still actively post...

        I miss the good old days and it is sad that civ5 sucked so much it barely brought in any new people.

            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              Just rename the site to "Apolyton Civilization and World of Warcraft site"

              Or maybe it would be more fitting to rename it to "Apolyton Civilization and Everquest site"

                Or we could just make lots of threads mentioning porn terms. That should generate a lot of new traffic.

                  After watching the Redskins embarrass themselves yet again, I feel a certain similarity between still posting at Apolyton and still being a Skins fan. Heydey ages ago, years of drama and baggage, offensive, etc.

                    We however have a lower rate of head and neck trauma and are much more inclusive of who we are offensive to.

                      BacK when the On-ToPicK had as equal trolling as the Off-toPicK.
