Start moving, everyone.

[Erik Mesoy]

You may have seen the global announcement that we're to merge with Apolyton and become a paid forum.

The new NES forum, at the free "Civilization Player's Center", is here.

Horn: *BAAA-ROOOOMM! BAAAA-ROOOOOM!!*
Rider of Rohan or similar: "Men, women and children! Rise up, and go to the land where we will be free, ere the Shadow falls upon us while we delay here!"

You know, it's my opinion that it's an April Fool's joke

Erik, two things:

1) Your too smart for your own good.
2) Start drinking.

 

[alex994]

Well, in the case if it IS true... People, start saving all the updates, maps and stats to your hard drive DEATH TO THE APOLYTON NESERS!

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I thought you were part of the insurgency, Cleric? No need for you to move if you're staying here to cause havoc.

And I do drink. Weekly. (Well, technically.)

 

[Oruc]

whats so bad about the Apolyton Nesers?

 

[alex994]

It was more of a random statement that fit our times

Fact is that the new Civ Junction won't have an OT Forum or a NES forum for that matter.

After having talked with Turner and other CFC mods, I'm quite convinced that this is not a joke.

And I'm in favour of moving once again, however I was going to wait until tomorrow to make a thread of this kind, to make sure this is not a joke.

A glass of whiskey a day and you'll live to 83.

Take an average gamespot member and buff his intelligence stat by 10%. That's an apolyton average member but they are still in the ****** zone.

Google declared the 1Gb cache on April 1st, and that was real.

 

[bombshoo]

Why would this be annouced on April Fools if it wasnt a joke?

 

[Reno]

This thread in the CPC forum is an intresting read.

From that thread...

To make more money.

They had to wait for the new fiscal quarter due to an expiring server contract or domain registration, maybe both. Don't remember exactly.

The reason they didn't wait for the first actual business day though was basically a marketing ploy. They'll go down as the April Fool's Joke that wasn't. If it increases membership, it increases revenue. <_<

It's also one less day we had to get CPC ready. We were hoping up until last night TF would change his mind, but he didn't. I was hoping to get the civfanatics.net server as a consolation prize since HOF and GOTM were coming here, but ainwood's defection kind of screwed that over...

If this is a joke Im going to be real POed

Well the apolyton nesers seemed nice enough when I was last there, they just missed the condesending arrogance which is a plus.

 

[alex994]

Well, a problem is that there WON'T be a Nes forum in the new CivJunction

 

[LightFang]

It's obviously an April Fools joke.

Poisson du avril, anybody? D:

Its obvious its a joke and I have no idea what you just said.

 

[Reno]

Too much effort put into a joke, I'd say.

I suppose we just need to wait it out and see if it is in fact a joke.... but I fear for the future of NESing if it isn't

Not that it will die, just that we'll lose a bunch of players in the move. It will be a virtual trail of tears, possibly leading to our collapse.
