I think it's possible to make the place a little more vibrant without attracting the same sort of tedious douches that infect most Internet forums. I can't remember if I have mentioned this elsewhere on Caltrops, but: four years ago I decided to make a "big" text game. Lots of locations, graphics, monsters, music, etc. I didn't plan on development requiring four years+, but it has and I've accomplished few other computer-related goals in that time. The good news is that the game is in beta. The bad news is that it's been a long beta. I don't have nearly enough testers, having burned them out over the previous 48 months. (If anyone would like to test my game, even just a single scene, please let me know. It would be invaluable.) When I release this albatross, I will finally have time to do the things I've always wanted to do. Caltrops Mobile? I'll make it happen. Game reviews and articles on the front page, likewise. Your points are well-taken, Mysterio. I just can't give you a firm date on when I can take action. That makes it seem like I'm blowing you off or not taking your suggestions seriously. I don't know how to assure you or anyone else otherwise, other than to give you my word. I'll readily agree that it sucks that a guy got control of a site and then took four years off to do something else. I've learned much in doing this and I'm unlikely to ever try such a large project again in my life. I worry that I won't be fast enough to construct these improvements before I lose you, and hundreds like you. ICJ |
