That';s why I don't post at counterglow. (much)

badams52 · April 10, 2003, 23:01

I wonder if others post for the same reason. Me, I'm here for the entertainment value, which DC just added to

FlameFlash · April 10, 2003, 23:12

I'm here for the games... that's what brought me here and that's what I still (on the majority of my time) do here.

Master Zen · April 11, 2003, 00:50

I actually know Apolyton since before even Civ3 came out, however, I never entered the forums (I had a natural adversion towards internet geekness), but I got all my Civ3 news from this site.

In Jan I got PTW and I had some burning questions about the editor so I posted them. For most of my first 2-3 weeks I just made a couple of posts a day on the General forums although I lurked quite a bit (I was recovering from an operation so I had nothing better to do

), then I entered the Spanish forum and life changed forever...

I can honestly say so far Poly has been one of the coolest things to happen so far to me this year, there are wonderful people here (and others who I shall refrain from commenting on, but are found in the OTF).

oh and the demo games rule!!

That would make in interesting poll. Seriously.

Personally, I would still post here as I enjoy the conversation.

I would still post here for sure. Any long time posters come (and stay) here for the games they play, not to rack up posts. As long as I play civ I'll be here.

I'd be more interesting in knowing if people why people want post counts - for the title or for the rank in DC's list.

I'd prefer to get rid of PC related titles and replace them with custom ones given to people by their fellow posters.

That works brilliantly on CGN, but on a site as large as 'poly it would create lots more work for already very busy mods and admins.

you know you've been on apolyton too long when you came to the site for civ2 and people talk about the sequel like this...

atawa · April 11, 2003, 11:31

I arived here after CF shut down their civ2 MP ladder.

Trajan put it back up though

Alex · April 11, 2003, 12:02

I'm here just trying to get some more pics of blackwidow and FemmeAdonis.

Nah, I actually don't care about post counts. It took me quite some time to find out that I was able to have a custom avatar.

I was here before CtP (the first one) came out. We had such great hopes and aspirations back then.

hi ,

...... what ? ; to make it to deity , ......

have a nice day

Dauphin · April 11, 2003, 18:51

There were no titles back then, and no-one cared about PCs either. Ming wasn't even a Mod, just a regular poster.

DrSpike · April 11, 2003, 19:07

If you add "in my day" to that you will realise just how prematurely aged you sound.

Alex · April 12, 2003, 09:29

He's not prematurely aged, it's this site that is prematurely old.

People spammed long before The Apolyton 100

Panag · April 12, 2003, 16:27

hi ,

its a bit funny to see that not a lot of people think of themselfs that they shall make it to deity , ......

one could / should expect posters to jump onto this thread and say "i do" or "me" , .....

we should save this thread for future references , .....

have a nice day

Mr Mantequilla... Jesse and me, those were the days

Tell me DC, how can you know about that story if it comes from the time of the glorious Addicted to Civ forums (spring 98)?

Master Zen · April 13, 2003, 21:53

DarkCloud knows everything about Apolyton... EVERYTHING...

One day we'll see Dirty Little Secrets of Apolyton in the NY Times bestseller list as well as MarkG: The True eHollywood Story

mrmitchell · April 13, 2003, 22:10

But of course on the front page (of the NYT) we'll have "Ming" Bumped to No. 1 on FBI's Most Wanted Spammers List

And then Ming strikes the FBI with his all-powerful banning rod and they leave him alone.

*looks at the thread*

I have a sudden urge to play Nationstates! Woohoo!
