going through the Slaves to Armok: God of Blood thread i saw that Toady posted alot of topics himself giveing info on upcomeign updates and additions to the game as well as talking to the fourm member... im just wondering how come toady does not do this anymore for the DF game?

He does, in the Future of the Fortress: The Development Page thread.

The answer to your question.

Other stuff that effected his activity:

1) Bug Tracker, lots of bugs on that to read and sort through.
2) Forum has grown at least 100x in size since then.
3) Toady and ThreeToe moderate the whole B12 forums themselves.
4) You can search all his posts in his forum profile.

yeah but he does not talk to all the other users he just posts one post and all the other fourm users do post the rest

I read all of the suggestions.  Doing the forums in the way I do now (mostly reading and replying to some bug reports) takes long enough (today it was an hour and a half) that I can't really get involved in a lot of conversations, as much as I'd like to discuss suggestions and everything else.

Toady still communicates, but it's more centralized now; instead of posting new threads all the time, he maintains a devlog, records a podcast, and answers people's current-development-related questions in Future of the Fortress.  Also, the community was tiny and slow-moving back then -- there were so few fans that Toady had time to participate in conversations.

"Posts one post"?  He replies to multiple people in each post.

Toady still replies to everyone's mail and stuff. Heh, I was one of the original Armok fans
