This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

At the moment that I typed this, the OT forum was just 77 posts behind the Freelancer Forum. Now that poses a question, why is it that some forums are more popular than others which could be more popular? I'm just asking a Finalday-sih question here. I'm also trying to help OT beat the FL Forum.

Are we implying something here? Ot can have so many topics while the FL is only game related topics. Both seem to die down at times an then pick up again, depending on intrest in the game at the moment

The strange thing is how OT has always since stayed way below FL forum. The interest in the game must be fading and some people just come here to talk and give advice to newbs occasionally. That's what I do anyway.

I've actually been keeping an eye on that myself, and I was going to put up a post when the OT forum exceeded the FL Discussion forum's number of posts. Thanks for spoiling it for me .

The reason that the OT forum has more posts, is probably because you can discuss almost anything here, while there are only a finite amount of topics that can be discussed in the FL Discussion forum.

@Sir Spectre

We could delete a rather large thread initiated by you and stickied thus fixing that for a while.

@Stinger, I don't make that many new threads though. I just make the ones I start last forever.

Six posts now, five with mine.

This will be the hour the OT forum trumped the FL discussion!

And there was much rejoicing.

It is simply because in Freelancer forum they discuss the game - which is a linear discussion. Here though, poeple post about what they had for breakfast, what happened in their local shop, and other such "topics" which basically means that all the under 10 word posts of spam are here. Simply put, spam. But that is what this is for.........

I just want to say that if were not for the participants in the OT *sniff* I would not have been able to *sniff* achieve all that I have achieved *sniff* with so much *sniff* fun *sniff* and so little effort *sniff.*

Thanks to all of you *sniff* on the OT.

*sob, sniff, boo hoo*

Oh Come on... a Community's OT board is allways the biggest.

I remember the Time That I was a wee lad on this forum. The OT board had more then a 100,000 posts if I counted correct, this was before the Dark Days.... The days of the great purge, and possibly the reason why this board is rather... empty of a sort.

The Days before the Purge this board was literally boiling over with activity, but not a single flooder, an occasional Legion of Spammers but nothing more, I regret seeing so much sensible discussions going down the drain.
