Le Pétit Prince
The Swade got eaten by Myocaca, and I sacked Myocaca's capital. QED? But I'm referring to your judgment of the situation between Matt and I. Aaaanyhow...

VERDICT: EQ's players like to refresh a lot. Bird's, Iggy's and das' players, almost as much. I think the only one still updating here is N3S? N3S occasionally awakes from hibernation, LINES II is in cryo.

VERDICT: Only four NESes have ever broken the 5,000 post mark in one thread. (Only 10 NES threads have broken 4,000.) The entire LINES II saga is probably the longest group of posts dedicated to one NES with well over 10,000 posts...though some of the EQ franchises might have a competing claim. StJNES and RtoR2 are the only ones among these that were really before my time. (I lurked around the end of ITNES.)
Given a few more years, the NES development thread will probably climb to be forum leader in both posts and views. There's also something rather ironic about the thread for the development of NESes outpacing all the NESes it spawns. But currently, ABNW Pt. 2 is the proverbial Da Vinci Code of the NES forum in popularity. Take that as you will.
If someone ever quotes NES2 V or LINES II in an update, they will probably win my undying admiration. We need more obscure backslapping that forces newbies to go back and read all the old masterpieces, dammit.
