2. the EV web board has 35 posts within the last 24 hours while EVO's web board has only 6 posts.

Just some numbers. Gathered as of 1:50 p.m. 9-18-02.

I would guess a lot more people posted stuff on this webboard when EVO came out than when EV came out.

More people posted on the web boards when EV Override was released, certainly, but not on these ones - back in 1998, there were seperate game-based WWWBoards over on escape-velocity.com.

Those were good days at escape-velocity.com

By the way, does that domain still exist?

Yes, but it redirects to the EVO section of ASW.com if I recall correctly.

And you also have to take note that EVO 1.0.2 came out while this forum has been here and no new version of EV have come out for quite some time.

My first thoughts: 'Huh? Oh... Right.'

'ASW' always makes me think of anti-submarine warfare.

well there was that time when ASW was(saw, asw, was, wsa? weird) implementing their bungie-esque world domination plans. not sure what happened to that.

anyway, if you haven't checked my multiplayer evo post( (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum8&topic;=004677")http://www.AmbrosiaS...m8&topic=004677(/url) ), then do so.

this would create a lot of interest in the evo community again, and would create much discussion. was just wondering if this board could be a good way of organising battles and sharing films. yeah? no? i reckon it would.

i'd be all like" yo! punk mazca! high noon 28 oct. i'll wrap so many needles round your head, you'll need to go to detox and ****. bring it on!"

then later on i'll post that match's film to the board as a trophy of supremeness, even if i lose in a ball of flames with ninjas a junk.

A fluke coincidence (or not?) dragged a considerable number of EVO forum regulars away from the boards. If you've ever calculated the percentage of posts made by the Top 25 posters on these boards, you'll know how much effect that can have. Where's CaptainCarnotaur? Blackdog? Rima? Jess? Samurai? Titan? Those are only the few people who's almost disappearance I know the reason for - there are many more.

As a matter of fact, where's me? <grins> Schoolwork is getting more and more important, girls have passed the "interesting" level in my head, we seem incapable of discussing anything new, and Jess doesn't post here anymore. Need I say any more?

I'm not so sure about that. If anything, they'll post it on the Nova board - but still, I somehow don't see it happening.

(yeah I know how to spell voinians;) )

But apparently not how to punctuate it - V oinians...

Ah yes. 1.5 years is acceptable then.
