      I (as a n00b) have found Poly quite welcoming.

      I joined CFC and got seriously flamed on my first couple of posts, and sorta gave up over there really.
      I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

          That's quite funny, CFC generally has significantly stricter moderators than Apolyton, but at the same time, CFC has a much larger amount of negative people, hence some serious flaming.

                  Oh come on! Even the most sensitive of n00bs has to realize that it is all in fun.

                    Go for it, and make sure to make a backup of the thread(before it's deleted, it's unavoidable) and post it here.

                      Given that I'm a n00b, and a complete computer moron (i'm so glad it came with colour coded cables ), how would I go about doing that?

                        To save the page, it's file-->save as..., but I'm not sure if that works for whole threads. Let's await the real geeks.

                                Oh well, I'm here around since... too many years! My bad english and everything...

                                SMAC time, IIRC, just at the end of the "Great List of Civ III" project.

                                Now I have few time for posting, but Poly still is a well know harbour where I stop once a week during Internet navigation.
                                Great work, team!
