I still hold out hope, but I am fearful that without even one word from the powers that be there is no hope in the forcast. I do know that if the game is dead there will never be a reply and so far no real update. So I will just keep my lottery ticket in my pocket.


Don't loose hope. To date they haven't announced the cancelling of the next set. And another one after that is not impossible.

I moved to a small town and I am now on to teaching a third person how to play the game. It will become a weekly thing for us and I entend to keep looking until there are at least a regular group of four.

I have to say that I have started threads here that have had over 4000 views, and yet no one that has posted at this thread has showed any real support for them. Has anyone here, for example, tried my Polish Bzura scenario? (1943 views) I could have used feedback from people to improve it. So when you talk about getting things going here I remember the negative behavior of certain users and the lack of support.
I would suggest we could backtrack and check where the support that could have been offered was lacking.
 
Regardless of whether users agree on any particular point or not, I don't subscribe to the idea that we can do more with the forum when the people that are here don't support the other people that are also here. Going back to the above example, give me some sincere feedback on the Polish scenario and I would be motivated to do finish the the Arnhem Bridge scenario that I started researching. (313 views for an unfinished scenario)

Regulars who do add benefit to the forum for others should feel free to message eachother.
If you agree there could be more collaboration amongst users who contribute to the betterment of the site
then this would be a good place to speak up, this would be a good place to start. No?

If you/anyone didn't vote for 15 units on my PACIFIC themed miniatures set (4104 views) I would like to know what I did to you personally. 
I don't mean to make this about me, but look at this as an example, as a problem to fix, as something that can be worked on, improved.  And I expect to spend more time on the forum, both supporting ideas and disagreeing with people. Anyone here who thinks they are so important that they don't like to be shown proof that they aren't absolutely correct all the time,...  should probably stay where people only respond with "Yes sir, yes sir." That perception/attitude is of detriment to the forum.

Another example. -  IMO unsupported forum users is what leads to a dead forum.

Since I now have over 10,210 points for army builds (yes, 102 times 100 pt armies) I thought it was time for a promotion.

OK, besides some obvious reasons, here are my main reasons I don't check much:

No "Online Game" section for A&A type games-
Every A&A forum but this one has some sort gaming area... some better than others with more supervisors and players to play. But the OFFICIAL A&A forum has no place for that... 

User Friendly portals-
It wouldn't take long to fix it up to be more easily used... and it's not big, but it would be nice to have a fix up or at least some new forums. I just find it a bit hard to navigate, but I could get used to it!

Tourny's and Contests-
Some forums have some really awesome contests with cool prizes... and that always brings in new members! You wouldn't have to do much, but it would be cool! :D

Info on new sets-
With RBs blog, we have more info outside of this forum, but it is the only place we can get WotC info, so you should make use of that and post it when you know it. (Like the "Official Response" post) That's this places ace in the hole! :D

Good leadership-
The mods here do a good job, but there are no A&A mods that can protect this forum from bad posts, etc.
The other forums have a user based modship, meaning the members care for the forums, and non-related/abusive content isn't as bad. That could be easily fixed here though!

Lastly, you need members to get members... meaning that if you have hepful, friendly members who are "in charge" it invites more members to do the same. Sadly, that might be to late for this forum, since most good members are at the other forums. Still, it would be cool to see this one come back! :D
Just my 2 cents!

Do you know of any secure DICE ROLLING function/program that would work on this forum?

 Yes! :D




So why don't you take your own suggestion and start some gaming on here?
