Im sure everybody here has noticed this but i thought id take the liberty to say something about it.

Its no secret... the community is on the verge of exploding. Ive seen more new people in the past week or so than i have seen join since i came aboard a few months ago. Most likely because of the release of the Inferno mod, more people that thought FS was dead have had a second thought.

To see how many new people have joined or are joining, I would like to ask all newbies to the forum to post here. Dont make your posts long, and please spare the beams for other posts. Please only post once too. :)

Glances around...

Well I know what you mean. It's good to see so many new people having a look at FreeSpace - even better that so many have found HLP! If this trend continues we could have some very interesting times ahead...

Good idea really, FS2 gets some pretty decent coverage from time to time in games magazines... the last time it happened was for Inferno or The Babylon Project I think... the SCP should blow them away!

Bah.  I feel like I've done absolutely nothing in my *counts* 3-4 years in this community...

Except for that one time when I had an Osiris with BGreen on top and Flak on the bottom, before SCP was even heard of.

yeah, now would be the best time to pimp the gaming magazines. i agree with that. There is a huge potential freespace community out there. Infact, if pushed enough, interplay may begin producing freespace 2 cd's again. (Though hope for a sequel is far too out there, heh)

Theres a mass ammount of freespace 2 junkies out there. And we've got to harvest 'em all.

Already introduced myself.  I just randomly found this site, really.  It's not related to mods at all.
For great justice.

I do not think Interplay will produce FS2 disks anymore unless they get the rights back. My factory BURNED and packaged 250 sets of NEW FS2 disks in generic plastic packaging for schoolpop.com, the page for MJ Music world... at $29.99 apiece...

  I too have been pimping around, especially Robotech II shots, in the gundam, and star trek communities, as well as some 3d websites...

Hopefully thse efforts will bear new fruit.
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

In italy (as in the rest of the world, I think)  the monthly pc magazines are usually sold with one or two cds, containing demos and often a free semi-recent game.
I think that when the HT&L build will be officially released and will be as much bug free as possible, we could try to propose to magazines to release as a free game fs2, with fso, additional artwork (glowmaps, shinemaps etc), and a collection of the best mods
Only problems could be the space of all this stuff and :v: willing to sell fs2 on magazines
