No more school, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks. In most of the forums I have been around or run summer time is when you usually see an uptic of new users as all the kiddies have a lot more free time to spend, though on the flip side summer is also when most people post the least. Time for vacations etc.

There has been much more forum posting, but for me that is not a key metric. What I've noticed is that there are a lot more mods, maps and ideas being generated.

I've been watching the forums since early 2010 and in these last 4-6 months there's been a massive increase in advances to all areas of the game compared to the 1.5 years prior.

Why Rman nods to a dot? :P

Why aubergine does weird stuff? :P

And finally why NoQs forum exploded :( NoQ do you need a technician? repair squad?

Yes there is a great increase in the mapmakers rase, and as I always say in situation like that.. Let us hope at least 20% of them will stay or make one map per three months in the forthcoming two years..

I would also thank the internet provider, the electricity provider, the laptop seller, the mouse seller, and the coffe making company :P heh joke connected to some thankfulness thread ;) I promise the last one :) as I really admire the man!

We seriously need to get that addons section back up and running. Already vast amounts of maps and mods are fading away from the first page of the showcase forum never to be seen again.

We know who see them and save them, do not worry ;) but yes I agree and at the same time know guys work very hard.
