Actually, I was referred to this forum by THAT game's forum. lol

But, oh, Wesnoth... *sigh*
It makes me regret not joining it sooner. Not because of the game itself (which is also great BTW), but because of its forums. Players were mature, intellectual people, the kind of people i respect immensely. Part of the reason this is IMO is because SO MUCH of the game is based on luck. This dealing with failure aspect of the game discourages many immature and childish players.

But the forum IS indeed going down slowly.
Highlights of the conversation:

people are discouraged from contributing b/c it won't be put into mainline
older members are leaving
new generation has not had time to absorb the culture of maturity and intellect

My heart aches every time I think about it.
