Post The Falling Sand Game Forums are Dying
So, not sure how many of you know about the Falling Sand Game Forums, but it's pretty much a ghost town right now. What stinks is that FSG is pretty moddable, and you can do some really creative things in it, we should help "populate" it a bit and maybe the older members of that forum will return.

How can you help? Just make a forum account on the FSG forums, check out mods, make some of your own, make random topics, whatever.

So, who's in for helping them out?

Sure, I played some BS2 yesterday, using my favorite mod, iGalaxy.
I also had another FSG that had an awesome Spaceship mod.

I'll lurk for a while, try to get to grips with everything, then sign up.

The point is to NOT lurk!

THERE'S NOTHING TO LURK! NOBODY IS ONLINE!


MAKE NEW TOPICS ASKING QUESTIONS
HAVE OTHER MEMBERS ANSWER QUESTIONS

MAKE A SUDDEN BOOST IN USER ACTIVITY!
POPULATE THE FORUMS!

IT'LL BE LIKE IMPROV EVERYWHERE!

Better plan:
Two or so people become the "helpful" members. Others become the dunces.
1. Dunces make topics asking for easy questions
2. Helpful members answer them politely
3. ???
4. Helpful members running forum
SUCCESSFUL FORUM TAKEOVER

So it's gone from a stimulus mission to an occupation mission?

Sounds like a plan.

Id say so. Next step is we have those helpful members run for moderator positions.

This, Boys and girls, is where the Empire of Data begins.

Or you could have, you know, made a FSG thread. But that would have required actual effort so I see how you'd rather do this than something productive.

Yes, Ophanim - having ONE more active user is much more useful than getting SEVERAL. I definitely see where you're coming from here.

I'm off to make an account, check some things out and try out some mods, and give some feedback.

I could see how advertising on a forum for an indie game a forum for another indie game would be preferable to making a thread, getting interest generated for a game you obviously want interest generated for, having an actual active forum take notice, and let them find it on their own if they like it enough to post on the forums. Definitely want a few posts on a mostly-dead forum rather than that. My apologies.

So, if I understand correctly(Probably not, slightly drunk) then we're to take control of a forum with 0 activity to do what exactly?

Anyway, GO FORUM PIRACY. (Duh, you gotta be the least responsible person to ever lead a group of people....)
