    It will last for as long as the game lasts. People come and go. EA has done a good job running it so far. No group of members will be able to slow these forums down. People will come here before anywhere else.

    Peruhomer to add on to your post I will add my own famous quote.

    North Korea is the best Korea!- Kim Jong-il

    Sorry it just popped into my head and I had to post it. :mrgreen:

    George W said "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

    But perhaps not in this forum :D

    Ace there was a thread where someone posted a picture of a middle finger. Simpsons00001 and H1 quoted the person who posted the photo resulting in the middle finger coming up in their post, all three of the members involved were banned sadly... Which is annoying because H1 and Simpsons were just quoting the person who posted the photo.

    If that's what got them banned, then that's over-reacting.

    So while this forum will survive as new people - like I was back in November - will find it, it won't be nearly as useful as more and more updates come. And that is a shame.

    At least give a warning, don't just outright ban.

    I think people have missed the boat a little here. This new forum that some members has started is not meant to be in competition with this one. All of them bar none want THIS one to succeed. They just wanted a place to chill out and be able to talk without the garbage. Is there anything wrong with that?

    Cuttyshark speaks for me also. +1

    WOW, truly honoured there most gracious Spiffy 8)

    Anyone notice that Simpson0001's building walk thru is still on the FAQs? So EA will keep what they like but throw the baby out with the bath water. And Simpson0001 was one of the least whiny babies too...

    I'm pretty sure it will survive, there's still a lot of activity here and I guess the regulars who were banned will probably make new accounts

    As an outsider, this forum comes across as a horrible place. Many of the regulars just create a toxic atmosphere in here. It's probably better off without them. This has to be one of the most dramatic forums I have ever come across.

    In general that is what happens when a board isn't supported. Most boards I read have Mods who enforce rules, give infractions, and provide feedback when a thread is going over the line.

    Even niche games like Port Royale 3 have boards that are better supported by the publisher than this one.

    As for the poll this forum will be fine as far as activity goes. The proboards one requires that you know the name and create a login before seeing the posts. So that forum is never going to catch on to the community at large. This one is a google search away for newbies and only a new username away from people coming back if they get bored at the other forums.

    This has to be a joke! One of the most dramatic forums you have ever come across? I'm sorry, but you obviously don't go to the right forums. This place is sedate compared to many.
