I know there's an abundance of discussions on the life of the forum so i'd held back on making yet another thread on it but honestly, i'm amazed! Seriously amazed :eek Before now, the last time I visited this site was just less than a year ago in this thread
http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,8750.80.html with my last posts time stamp being 12 October 2011. October 20 freakin' 11 and I come here in July 2012 and it's still alive!
I come back after 10 entire months expecting the URL to be unregistered or at least an electronic ghost town but find
Today post dates from the like of
USS Sovereign and
Defiant. I make a thread and get a reply from one (or both) of them within one single day!
Seriously, i've been on quite a few gaming sites that run sections for old games (C&C and the like) and they run for a long time but die within a couple of years; maybe five at max. In my experience the death of the site is preceded by the abscence of some knowledgable gurus that everyone looks to for answers and so are well known (respected) figures but here, even after all this time, the likes of Sovereign and Defiant still, seem to, check the site daily or every other day.
Then there's JimmyB76 and Nebula and all the other names that posted back in 2011 still here. Incredible! This games extremely moddable but damn! A 10 year old game with, compared to what todays game software is capable of, an incredibly old engine.
It's like this site can't die. It's invincible. VR gaming and neural interfaces could take off into the mainstream and still this site would live. BC until the end of days!
