Their "glee" at our misfortune could come back to haunt them someday.  AE has been attacked before, several times actually.  For them to act like it couldn't happen to them is just whistling past the graveyard.
 
Welcome back everyone!
 
 
 
What sort of split?
 
Is this new forum secure now?

A couple more, you mean surely......

Well, maybe another one, will do.

Don't want too many of them, otherwise the rest of us lesser mortals wont get a word in.

We have been there before. At one time AE was among the top 100 sites.  However, there is something to be said about quality vs. quantity.  And popularity also brings with it problems we don't need, like spammers and other Inet low life.
Another pitfall is complacency.  Even a long defunct site like Talk History, which I was a sup. mod at, could draw a one or 2 time online reading of 3-400 folks online at one time.  The owner, a former member here by the name of Stewart, got over confident and left it on it's own.  I kept it alive by artificial means for a year and a half.
Someone here mentioned that it merged with AE, not to my knowledge.  I tried to buy it from him and he just turned it off.  No reason given.

You've already got a nice community spirit going and a decent set of mods. The rest will happen in its own good time.

Oh, and what Nick said.

Allempires is a sleeping giant with the potential to eclipse all the other history forums. I predict a Periclean-style golden age once we have a core group of regular posters

Well, more folks doing what you are would help. Word of mouth is a strong source.  We are going to do more to bring in new people.  I'm working on some upgrades that should help also.  In order to power up the Magazine we need a larger Dbase.  Once that's back online I think you'll see a marked increase in membership.

This is a great website, its probably the best (history/empire) forums on the net. Is there a way we can attract more people coming to this website? every person i have shown this forum too has been really impressed by it!

Thanks for that and ditto. Smile

The fact is, I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, but things will sort out in a month or two and I'll be posting regularly again. Then you guys will get sick of my bletherings.  LOL
