They might not be posting but at least they are reading...
I came onto Apolyton today and I was suprised to see in those browsing the boards, Mr. Jeffrey Morris himself.

I looked through all of the boards from words from the Firaxis team but I could not find any. And when I checked again he had left. Without a word that I can find.

But he did not leave without a trace. I made sure to capture my screen and I am atttaching the image to show you that, yes, members of the Firaxis team are alive and yes they do at least come to see what we are saying.

May be this is great news and they will make sure to change the graphics or give us some more information but at least they visited and well it gives me hope.

wow excellent catch man!

yah that does bring some light, I hope we're not making Firaxis upset. I do want to encourage Firaxis, but I don't want them to fail either.

and Hi Jeff

I have seen much lower totals during week day totals and late at night Eastern U.S. As few as like 40 people. So no I don't think that is too low, especially since many of the logins probably have not been used in a while or not that often. How many people have you known that have come and gone since you started posting here? And all of them count to that total.

Great job tniem. This does bring some hope of how much Firaxis really does care. Mabye MarkG could answer an earlier question asked, "MarkG do you have ability to see where he went ???".

Hey Ming, how does that know when you're there? Is Apolyton constantly grabbing my IP or what?

Mike from Firaxis is on right now as well...

And it'll be interesting to see if thousands of people migrate here once civ3 is released due to search engines and whatnot. Only time will tell..

Actually that record was broken today. 203 at 1:38.

Another thing. Just because those guys are logged onto Apolyton doesn't mean that they are in the CivIII forum. I saw Jeff Morris posting on the Alt.Civ forum the other day. He probably skips this forum because, hey, how would you like to log onto one of your favorite sites only to be reminded of what you are putting off at work?

The problem is that this year there aren't many jobs, so more experienced people are snapping up the good ones...
