Anyone notice how dead the forum has been lately? Other than the entertaining posts by MarcusD, nothing has been really happening here. I know some will say that winter is slow for the Emu, but I would think that is the time things would pick up.

We need some good conspiracy theory thread.

Akkadius is actually not a person, but the remains of Verant, hoping to keep Everquest, his baby, alive.

Uleat opened up his own server yesterday, true story.

Dead is perception. Coders is always very alive in the background. I'll be making a pretty big news post here soon along with quite a few other things. And yes it is the holidays.

Other people can always start positive conversation and threads. And from what I see on a daily basis there is plenty going on in the forum

See, Akkadius is about to announce he IS Verant.

Those are the server stats though. I am just saying lately there has not been that much forum activity. Maybe it just seems that way to me. Yes I know there is plenty going on with GIT as far as code changes in the background. I am just referring to forum activity.

I actually had that "forum is quiet" feeling too, but that could be a good thing
in some cases. Meaning, a lot less support questions getting asked, so people
must be getting the help they need.
Not that the need will ever end, but it's slowed down right now.

I actually opened my fly too..

That is exactly what I was wanting. None of these, "your server is going to fail" threads or other griping. Just some good fun.

Thats something I don't understand, is some people's desire for competitiveness with the
servers. Not sure if their desire is to put their name in light , "Hey look at me, I got a
player base of 2000". Hahaha Almost like the "friend collectors" on Facebook, lol.
I prefer to remain a humble little underdog, having fun with the challenges of simply
piddling around with a server. Few people come, few people go, casual, down to earth.

I was thinking back to the 90's when I set up an IRC server, (back in the days of DalNet,etc.),
That was my first challenge of any kind of server. I didn't really care about getting any
people to log on, but I had a lot of fun in learning all about it.
Actually I think I still have an old copy of the Bahamut IRCD kicking around. I was using
that and IRCD Services.
