What the hell?
OK. I haven't been on this site in years. For a while, I was pretty active here. With the coronavirus in swing, I decided to jump on here and play a gunboat or two. I am really shocked at the total lack of people here. Like...what happened? Is it always this dead? Kind of sad. I used to love this site.
Re: What the hell?
I used to jump on this site and gunboat games would fill up in minutes. Several at a time. Last night I tried a few times. No one even tried to join.
Re: What the hell?
Yeah, the live game community kind of died on this website over time. I think the new NMR/CD mechanics probably had a lot to do with it.
Re: What the hell?
I expect to be playing a lot of live games soon as I'm forced to 'work from home'.

Re: What the hell?
Came back too after some time, and what I found is overwhelmingly most games are private also, when did WebDip get bots? Are they any good?

Re: What the hell?
Eh. As a long time live game player and organizer, there's a few things...
1. A lot of the core members of the live game community left or are less active (Strauss, MichiganMan, The Czech, etc.) than they used to be
2. Live games took a LOT of hits before the RR/CD changes, the community was already on life support
3. The "Advertise your live games here thread" is dead now
We generally organize them on Discord now, FWIW.
Re: What the hell?
No, but it makes it easier. Discord allows for notifications so it's more convenient to get 7 players together.
Refreshing the front page to look for live games still works though.
