[DrSpike]

Dan: I understand and agree with your motivations behind this move and wish you the best of luck in whatever comes next.

[Blaupanzer]

Dan, good letter. You provide a thoughtful explicaqtion of tour decision to move on.

Why did you have to tale the whole staff with you? Ming, rah, Solver, and Locutus are some of the better communicators here especially on the gamer side.

We will miss all of you,
Frank

Thanks, Doc.

Dan, good letter. You provide a thoughtful explicaqtion of tour decision to move on.

Thanks -- I'm glad it's coming across as intended.

Why did you have to tale the whole staff with you?

Each of them came to that decision on their own.

We will miss all of you,
Frank

I appreciate that, Frank. We'll all still be around here though!

[PLATO]

This is a sad day for the Civ community. Dan, thanks for all you have done. You will be sorely missed by all.

Whatever you do next...keep on Civin'!

Thanks to Dan and Mark for creating this site, best of luck to Dan.

I believe that sums it up.

Apolyton continues to be my favorite and first port of call and thanks to you DanQ and MarkG for setting it up and maintaining it for all the years.

And I might eventually get round to hosting a podcast.

Good luck with your life.

[DanQ]

Much appreciated Siro, Drakan (I co-created Apolyton with MarkG).

Dan, is it true that you are moving PolyCast to another site?

[DanQ]

Dan, is it true that you are moving PolyCast to another site?

Yes, PolyCast is to be hosted on the WePlayCiv.com servers on/by June 1st. It is only a hosting arrangement -- the podcast series is not becoming a production of WPC, or any other specific Civilization fansite. This is just as it has no longer been a production of Apolyton as of the start of this month, and has been a hosted site (such as e.g. the Clash of Civilizations). An official announcement to this effect is to be made later this month.

As previously disclosed, I am retaining complete ownership in PolyCast. To expand on what I have stated before along these lines, PC along with Age of Nations have become productions of Civilized Communication, the new umbrella label I have begun for them. (CC's address forwards to PolyCast for now anyway.)

PolyCast remains a Civ community podcast and will continue to be promoted on Apolyton, Civilization Fanatics Center and now WPC too.

Why are you hosting it on another site?
