And could probably explain the occasional 500 internal server error I'm getting.

At least I can just back up and redo whatever I did, and its not a true crashing. More a test of the forum software. The last time we had a thousand plus people, the forum more or less broke.

I think its good publicity actually.

Reddit has had a /r/DwarfFortress for more than a year now so really "we've" been on Reddit for ages. The Stonesense link is on /r/gaming, and while it's got a good 200 odd upboats, that's not really that huge, and even then it's no guarantee that everyone has that set to show up on their front page by default.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

I think we will survive.
I mean for a troll to burst in here with there "lulzMCdiditfirst!!!1!" they would first need to understand what the game is about, and that implys a troll is smart enough to read DF symbols.

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

Well, anyone that thinks MC did it first is a dunce and should probably read up on DF and MC.

Also any publicity that DF gets that actually attracts new players, is good publicity IMO.

Now we just need a very good step by step guide like the one I read for Aurora.

I mod games and educate others how to do so as well, if you'd like to learn join my Discord and you can join a bunch of like minded individuals. (Presently modding Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.)

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

We had a good one going for 40d. But that required you to download a world, as trying to explain whats going on when your embark could be completely different to the one in the tutorial could be contusing.

Maybe if toady got sidebar ads we could afford the server upgrade required to handle this many people, just speculation though
