Newpaintbrush has met his match…

@Panther Yeah, let’s try it in a few places and see how it goes. 3 max is good.

@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

@djensen

yes i’ve noticed time of day as well. Is fine currently. 7 pm Central US

What we really need is a really good feed of suggested topics and an email campaign to reveal them. Reddit absolutely mastered this. I used to be an occasional Reddit … then the emails came and they were relevant and fun and I enjoy getting that email. Actually, I mostly just go direct to Reddit now.

Looking back. I probably should’ve selected Discourse as the forum engine. The deployment strategy, at the time, was more complex than I wanted. I had a grudge against Ruby on Rails projects (kinda still do). But the UI was clean. I bet the API is cleaner and less breaking. Making another change might cause more churn though.

Best game for two players is 1942, by far.  There are not too many controlling powers in this game, 3 allies, and 2 axis, creating shorter rounds, and overall, shorter playing time.  It is especially good if you are just learning how to play, yet you want to get a good feel for Axis and Allies.  It also is probably the easiest to play for two players, not including 1941, just because I feel that is too easy.  Hope this helps!
