Ever think of how remarkable it is at how active this community still is? - by Bucky Seifert

I think of the holy trinity, Deus Ex was easily first for me and it was a fight for 2nd, Thief might have just edged System Shock 2, but SS2 had some great gaming moments & mechanics that Thief didn't have too.
But what brought me here were T2 FMs, as I was already trying to make FMs from the tutorial on the T2 CD over a year before I knew anyone else was doing it. In my mind, the FMs & the whole scene here were an entirely separate thing from the game itself. Deus Ex and SS2 might have been better overall games, mechanic-wise, but they didn't lend themselves to one-off FMs or even new campaigns.
Now I'm here because I know people and they're into the things I'm into ... and because GenGaming is still following new games that are in the LGS bent.
Oh, and the occasional FM still.

I don't remember how I found TTLG but it had to do with Thief. The brother of a woman I was dating was showing me Thief on his new computer and I tried it out for an hour or so and I was hooked. I got a copy of TDP for Christmas and that was the beginning of the end of the relationship I was in. However it was not Thief that ran the relationship into the ground but Half Life and the twenty hour marathons of game play that did it in. Thief has caused problems in all my relationships but I don't care because I still have the game and this community after all the break-ups and a divorce.

It's as big of a mess as it always was, but it's why I keep coming back.

I'm not here because of Thief. I'm here because of System Shock.
Same.
But that's how I discovered Thief, and played that as well.
But I stayed for the nutters in CommChat.

I'm not surprised that the community is still going relatively strong. Actually I'm more surprised that so many members don't check in here more often. To me that's as strange as never ringing your parents or something. This is the best place with the best people.

Might be worth asking what reason those people could have to not want to come here any more.
Are they too busy, have they lost interest, did something about this place chase them away?

I miss the vast amount of people who used to frequent the SS2 FM making side of the forum. Was a very different place back then.
