I know I'm a lot less active on the forums than I used to.

Kinda moved in, I guess.

Wait, Toady One really does not have successors!

Do we have a cupid or something lying around?
He cannot simply die and leave us with no leader!

I demand offspring for me to offer my loyalty to!

Me?

[helmacon]

I think part of the slowdown has to do with the lack of a current masterwork version. With the pace of updates now-a-days mods can't grow to the ridiculous size and quality that the old masterwork did. I for one certainly play a lot less DF because of it.

[Putnam]

it's more like meph only recently came back and, like, i never really wanted to make a big mod anyway except maybe to spite masterwork

[SalmonGod]

The mod scene is part of the reason I haven't played much in a long time, too.  I miss Forlorn Realms.  Been kinda waiting for something on the same level to come along.

This notion has come up several times in the past.  Some cases less joking than others.  It's never gone over well.  Toady doesn't find it funny.  Just letting you know.

[scourge728]

So you're saying Toady doesn't appreciate us wanting to get him laid?

[Loud Whispers]

Ah, Truean. One of the things you just said about the decay of society is something people have been going on about since ancient Greece. Literally. Back then it was people complaining about writing.

And those societies are fucking extinct

[Truean]

Well phrased, but I do see both sides.

Still, not a thing wrong with being able to chop wood and carry water. Lots of our games feature it, strangely zen.

[dragdeler]

Obviously to avoid this problem we need to get Toady to appoint somebody as the official Toady Two.

Oh my god have we learned nothing of history? ... Well if it's like that I call dips on the sunni equivalent.

doesn't find it funny

oops... you'd need to have some form of morbid attraction to get a kick out of those, I prefer our dear leader sane  (somebody has to be).  But in all seriousness: we made intellectual property a travesty. And T1 took the highroad, only to land face to face with humans, these disgusting things who scream for an arm when you reach them a hand. So, am I suggesting we hack together a timemachine and download DF1.0 so we might be able to squeeze multiple lifetimes out of him? Boy I hope not.


EVERYBODY ALLWAYS COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WEATHER BUT NOBODY EVER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Ok I'm going to leave now.

[Magistrum]

I appreciate.

Perhaps the Dalai Toady must appoint a Panchen Toady before he dies. When the Dalai Toady die the Panchen Toady will find the new Dalai Toady, who will then be taken to ThreeToe to be taught the ways of Armok.

That isn't helping matters.

I am going to bump this up, since I've started noticing that the forum has gone veeery downfphill in terms of activity over the last while. I say this mainly due to the state of the upper boards, which... It's just depressing now. Once, you could go up and join 5 succession games at once, but now, they never even get off the ground. I think we should really do something, and swatting away the thread probably won't do much good, since this is a real issue.
*facepalm*

[Inarius]

Well, actually, nobody really know if this reduction of activity comes from "less people interested in "posting on a forum" in general" (because Twitter, because facebook, because time has changed...), or "less people interested in playing DF".
The only public data are donations (which have never been so high), and download stats (which aren't public, are they ?) I'm not sure it's the best indicator, but at least it's something. If there are less people downloading the game, it must be because less people play the game, right ?

[nenjin]

Oh noes, have we reached peak forums?
