@beelee cernel pops up once in a while, i have no idea on why they dont come on anymore, i even tried to instant message prastle but got no answer.

ubernaut

@beelee life… at least a few of those i know are still interested in the project but maybe just have other things happening

SilverBullet

@ubernaut gotta hope things are ok in these weird times. at least the lobby is calm, for the most part. the last couple of Mods seem to be doing fine, imo.

Hepps

@beelee I can only speak for myself. But its about time. I am so busy that I simply do not have the time to do anything other than check the forums over a morning coffee a few times a week.

CrazyG

I imagine people leave because that's just how life goes. I check the forums occasionally but I'm a Master's student now and I can't play too much.

Hepps

@crazyg I also believe there is a certain attrition rate... you pour inordinate ammounts of time into something that ultimately is not a close knit affair. People do it for only so long as its enjoyable... then it starts to feel like work. I have been here since the engines inception... and watched people come and go. Most of us never really leave... just tire of trying to sway the ever changing tides of opinion. With little regard for experience in the face of superior technical skills.

General_Zod

@hepps Well said. Its amazing that some were here virtually since it started. But as life throws the unexpected challenges your way, one has to react as needed. Eventually before they know it, they haven't been around much. But they come back if they can, they love the game too much to completely abandon it.

Cernel

Just playing a "270BC Wars" game with @zlefin.

Not sure if you mean the lobby though. I don't believe you actually play in there, do you @beelee?

I feel I've been in forum quite consistently.

beelee

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems fatigue is the answer. I may be experiencing some fatigue currently. Better take a break.

@Cernel yea not in lobby much. use to play with TommyDice a lot but that was years ago. Seemed you used to be more active in the forums is all.

Thanks again for the replies everyone

redrum

@beelee I mostly decided to take a break from admin/development of TripleA due to general burnout and busy with other things. I still play some TripleA PBF games over at A&A.org and check the forum here and there.

Cernel

@redrum I hope you'll be back, but some sort of decision should be taken about the (still pinned)

It's almost 2 years that nobody updates it and I don't believe it is clear who is supposed to be even permitted to do so.

My guess was that both you and @Hepps sort of coordinated a pause, since lately you seemed to be pretty teamed up on at least a couple of projects. By the way, I love many of the new features added.

redrum

Hey @Cernel. Only time will tell. My understanding is any admin can edit the feature list post but unfortunately at this point I don't think anyone is really updating it or addressing items from it.

Hepps and I were working on some maps but other than that I think we both just got busy and aren't around as much any more. Good to hear you liked many of the features that were added.
