Forum Presence

Have you noticed that Shrapnel have reached over 5,000 registered members?

Did you now that 2 years ago there were (a lot)less than half of these?

What does this tell you?

Why do people have joined the forums?

What made YOU buy and get involved in this community of game players?

As a psychologist, I would like to know your views on this, but I don't want to restrict the discussion.

Thank you.

Mike (BOKU)'brought' me over with him. I was one of the beta testers for Armies of Armaggedon (the game which later evolved into The War Engine). I've never left

I followed Mike over, too.

I followed info on the then-upcoming SEIV from another site (I don't recall where) and then became involved with testing and editing for AoA and TWE.

Mike deserves a recruitment bonus, I think.

SEIV, SEIV Gold and Dominions II have caused massive surges in membership levels, seeing as they have been the most popular of Shrapnel's titles by far.

Mike brought me over as well with AOA, and I became a beta tester as well.

He's involved me in a few other projects, but I've always had to drop out. I had a lot more gaming time when I was an academic.

Since then I've either bought or at least tried the demos of most of Shrapel's games. Pretty high success rate for me overall.

I came here to learn more about Space Empires IV. I lurked for a long time before I started posting stuff. This is a wonderful community, with very friendly and helpful members. Lots of interesting discussions going on all the time, too.
