As Petek posted it at AC2:
As I said on my own forum, and at CFC AC, we've gotta do something to protect the SMAC(X) nexii out there - get in the habit of checking by regularly, and looking for reasons to post. A dead forum that's still up has useful content to browse as long as it stays up, of course, but the nature of live forums is that there's a certain amount of people coming and going, and a healthy community needs regular newb infusions - which don't happen much where there's no activity to begin with.
This 'poly AC folder has looked like a reasonably live part of the Greater SMAC(X) community lately, and it's good for everyone if that continues. Engaging/encouraging new members is a start. And if everyone, wherever their primary hangout is, suppresses their natural partisan instincts and supports the other places, the general quantity/quality of conversation will increase everywhere, more help/playing/stategy advice, more MP games, and more modding goodies will be available to everyone. Get out there and post - likewise, here.
A single match burns out quickly; a whole book of matches makes a flame you can't ignore - and add fuel regularly, and you've got a group of campfires that people can gather around forever, beacons to guide future new friends in out of the dark.
The Civilization Gaming Network (CGN) forums have been closed, according to buster, the forum owner:
CGN focused on SMACX. Originally created to host multiplayer SMACX games, it later became the center of development for scient's unofficial patch.
RIP CGN.
