It looks like the ARES board hasn't had any activite for quite a while. Has it died?

Well, we're both here, in a manner of speaking.

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

I'm still sorta around constantly considering continuing the convoluted creation known as Ares: Override...

------------------
What secret? I don't know what you are talking about...

This is where I first discovered the Ambrosia web boards and where I first started posting.

emotional sniff

I still come visit from time to time. Sad to see the place in such disuse.

Sometimes I wonder if The Management™ is considering cutting down the number of Ares forums for lack of use, or to make more space for other forums. Sometimes I gets to wondering:

1. Is there any chance of that actually happening?
2. If so, can we fight it, or at least re-energize the place?
3. Does The Management™ even care?
4. Whats for dinner?

------------------
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

4. I had toast.

------------------
What secret? I don't know what you are talking about...

/Me looks at the number of topics posted in the last few months...

Yep the ares forms have been dead for quite some time.

You could argue "dead" is quite relative.

Another day, another disappointment.

Apart from TT, yes.

There's actually a slight backlog of content (plugins, chronicles, etc.) that has been sitting for months. I think the mods are dead, not the community.

Ever so slight, it must be noted.

Rabbit, where’d you put the keys, girl.

Well as long as there's a topic at hand, appearently it is active, just no one has anything to post about.

There was a hyper-novel-story thingy that was going quite well until it died out there a few months ago...

ATT still has a good breath of life left in it. All the other ARES boards are D-E-A-D.

The boards have always had their cycles.

Still, we are talking about a six year old shareware game which was released on the Mac and only on the Mac.

EV is still going, why not ARES? ARES was orginal, just like EV, just not as well advertised I guess. Anyway, I think I will make an addon for it, just to have fun.

EV enjoyed continued support, in the form of plugins and sequels. Ares was overshadowed by EV. I don't particularly like the way things have turned out, but I'm simply not up to posting as much, and I don't have the ability to run either Ares or Hera.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Ares has network play which in my view puts it well ahead of EV. Trouble is there are no GR players left!!
I got bored with EV very quickly.

EVweb, I look forward to that plug in...

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

I'm still on GR. Anyway, ARES will live on.
