You're not kidding.
I woke up this morning to discover that half the world had been erased. ALL WHITE. fs, must have been a 3" dump in a couple of hours.

That's just the Real World(tm) engine's way to improve framerates.

Ummm, is it possible to get a reason? Did you play it? Has any mod but Wynne played it? I mean I know the hubbub over this game seems to have died down a bit over at General Gaming, but I think "if you build it they will come." Why not try a thread, then sh*tcan it if it doesn't get any traffic, or too much traffic I guess. Honest question here: Is it very difficult to make a new section?
What incentive is there to offer a reason? It's akin to shaking your fist at the sky and yelling "Why, God, why?!" and expecting an answer ;) Seriously, it seems there just a tad unobjective bias on your part in desiring this game get a section. It goes without saying; if one likes a certain game, surely they'd like for a forum for said game, but
what's the percentage of TTLG-ers playing it? Imho, TTLG tries to encompass intelligent, groundbreaking, high standards games, and I can't say I know what quota a game must meet before it's given a thought to having it's own section, but *shrug*, I don't need to know.

I guess those pics prove that the Source engine isn't the be all end engine people think it is huh.
And yeah, no need to thumb noses at Souce; as
krummi suggested, it's more likely a result of oversights on the end of the developer's end and not some lack in the engine itself. It's almost like thumbing ones nose at Flash as being a horrible piece of junk software when one sees a poorly made animation or site interface, essentially blaming the wrong party all along.

I'm still boggled that the NOLF forum died rather miserably.

I played it, I completed it and I found it to be mostly fun, yet repetative...
Holy shit, that's a lot of <strike>nuts</strike> bugs.

I think the problem (?) with NOLF is that there just wasn't enough there to keep people talking about it. Dont get me wrong; I dearly love the game (it's one of the few that I haven't gotten distracted from), but once you've finished it, what else is there?
I suppose you could argue the same about Thief, but the mechanics of Thief (and the other TTLG games) lend themselves more to experimentation and replay than those of NOLF. You solve a NOLF level by shooting (easy) or sneaking (difficult because it's a shooter at heart). With Thief, you're pretty much forced to sneak in, but you have multiple ways of doing so. Not so with NOLF. The guards say funny things, but they're not nearly as much fun to play with as the guards in Thief.
et cetera
Plausible?

Neither are there fan missions as for Thief, nor as rich a background storyline.

Ummm, because this is a forum and it is a place where discussion takes place?
And, David graciously gave his reason on why it didn't deserve a forum of its own on ttlg and I graciously accepted. It's over.

The 1st part seems an interesting and valid question, but it doesn't require much of an imagination to envision a game hitting the scene that is all those great things that you mention (intelligent, groundbreaking, high standards) of which virtually no one on TTLG had heard and that a forum at TTLG could
inform the folks here of a new, great game and generate discussion.
Not to mention the converse, there are probably many games a huge percentage of the folks at TTLG play (Unreal2k4, DOOM3 or HalfLife2 anyone?) and don't deserve a forum here for a dozen reasons.
And finally, it didn't hurt to ask.

aksing doesnt hurt, but sometimes the answer can. Oh and big cocks up the arse.
