Wishes life was more like EV... that you can die and just reload the game, you can make obscene amounts of money in no time, and you can have a 20 Million credit space ship repaired for free on any planet.

This is where I first discovered the Ambrosia web boards and where I first started posting.
**emotional sniff**
I still come visit from time to time. Sad to see the place in such disuse.
Sometimes I wonder if The Management™ is considering cutting down the number of Ares forums for lack of use, or to make more space for other forums. Sometimes I gets to wondering:
1. Is there any chance of that actually happening?
2. If so, can we fight it, or at least re-energize the place?
3. Does The Management™ even care?
4. Whats for dinner?
------------------
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

You could argue "dead" is quite relative.

There's actually a slight backlog of content (plugins, chronicles, etc.) that has been sitting for months. I think the mods are dead, not the community.

The boards have always had their cycles.
Still, we are talking about a six year old shareware game which was released on the Mac and only on the Mac.

EV is still going, why not ARES? ARES was orginal, just like EV, just not as well advertised I guess. Anyway, I think I will make an addon for it, just to have fun.

EV enjoyed continued support, in the form of plugins and sequels. Ares was overshadowed by EV. I don't particularly like the way things have turned out, but I'm simply not up to posting as much, and I don't have the ability to run either Ares or Hera.

Ares has network play which in my view puts it well ahead of EV. Trouble is there are no GR players left!!
I got bored with EV very quickly.
EVweb, I look forward to that plug in...

I think it's a sad truth: All the good old games (Ares, Cythera) are dying slowly. In the end only some poor old gamers (us) will be left and pretend to be part of a BIG community... 
*sniff*
lets do something about it. We ought to make a MAJOR plugin with some engine changes and perhaps the same thing happens as with EV:N (I think we should skip override
). It just has to be too good for ambrosia to ignore.
