Anyone know why the the only busy Tradewars classic website and forum is controlled by people with finacial interests. Why isnt it controlled and run by fans that play and/or sysop for this fine old game? Any anwsers anyone. "Trekkies" have their sites run by them not Paramount Productions. I am confused.

Anyone Know Why?
Why Space Ghost, is runng around like the Sky is falling, and a CHUNK hit him?
Why peeps are talking about a Move, and not just idle chat this time?
Why the whole commuinty is Feeling disenfranchised?
Why does it look like the players are getting to the point of RIOTING?

Another reason is because Vulcan's other forum is single server oriented. By that I mean it generally supports one servers interest. So is Runaway Protons, Sages, and several others. This isn't a bad thing, but any server acting as an Official Forum, should have all servers interest at mind.
The only two that I know of that aren't single server oriented are Nav Haz and Rexx's Underground forum.

The topic is about solving the above issue in a way the community wishes to solve it. I get my ONE vote..so do you....Leave room for someone else to post. Unless you have a motive for doing what your doing. If you do I submit that perhaps your interests are not that of the community's at a whole.

It really doesn't matter if we agree on this or not. We will be moving from this forum in four months regardless. TWT is supposed to open up by then. When this happens, mark my words, when you click on this:
http://www.classictw.com
It will direct you to the TWT forums available at that time.

Sure. I'll mark it, but I doubt we'll be able to get to it. We need to get our own redirect and start advertising it.
