...That the Escape Velocity web forum has recently surpassed 20,000 posts. Strangely enough, this same board was at around 16,000 posts a month ago. I'd have to give the sudden traffic credit to all our new EV forum members. I'm very happy to see that as Escape Velocity gains age, it continues to impress its fans and drag more members into the community.
Congrats to all.

Heh, msot people would attribute the influx of new members to the upcoming release of Nova, but that doesn't explain the sudden growth of the regular EV community.. at least not wholly.
For me, I stumbled upon this community just recently after having re-stumbling upon EV whilst on vacation with a PowerBook. I came to Ambrosias site for plug-ins and discovered one of the more active web boards I've ever been involved in. Very cool.

Interesting... I first visited the web boards because I had a question about the final level of Ares. I was using the username "Ares Sniper" then, and changed to "Captain Skyblade" in February.
Humm not much to say about this topic. I was going to be under the username "Firecat",but someone had already gotten it. Grrr

sob
I did it! It's all my fault! Please, don't hurt me!
j/k, though you must admit, I have been the most frequent poster here lately.
But there are a lot of very nice new members floating around. Let's keep this up guys, maybe we can pass the Override forum in a few months.

Don't mention "goal",ZenMastaT. It makes me feel I should be doing more with my life.
Great job for everyone.
Once we pass the override forum... well, lets get there first.

I feel for you. I used to be CyberDragon, but some idiot newbie saw it, thought it was cool to steal someone els'es name that they had worked hard on, and I was left nameless... I first found out when I was on summer vacation. I was on a beach, laptop in lap, when I tried to post something. It said "You did not fill in all the right forms. Please go back and try again." Soon after, I checked the members list and there it was... staring up at me as if he were the Apocolypse, come to steal my fame+fortune... The reason I really liked that name was that it contained my first name, and the first initial of my last in it. "Lyra Engel" contains my first name, but no last name initial. But, i have to make due with what I have been given... "When life gives ye lemons, make lemonade!"
PS- In case any of you english teachers think you can find my name written straight put i there, then you're wrong. It s all mixed up, and you'd have to take some letters out and crap... just don't even try.
Yes I just checked the members list Firecat,the bastard who stole my name,has no interests,no location,0 karma,and has never posted. What a waste of my name.

Why is Override more popular than EV? Who likes quantity over quality? To me Override is an over-glorified total conversion plug-in that you have to pay for if you don't want Hector stealing your cash...
Anyway, congratulations everyone!

So, I guess I'm one of the newbies that just came flooding in to push up the posts number =). Although, I'm technically not a newbie. I stumbled upon (url="http://"http://www.escape-velocity.com")www.escape-velocity.com(/url) about 1996-1997, and joined the WWWboard (predated DISCboard) immediatly thereafter. I left a little after we got the DISCboard, don't remember why, though. I think I had an argument with Andrew Welch. Or maybe that was #ev on irc, I can't remember.
But recently I changed my handle and decided to make my return to the boards. I had just re-downloaded EV and needed some people to talk to about it, so...

In my opinion, EV Override is better than many people think it is, but still no match for the original Escape Velocity, which is the best game Ambrosia ever released. Many people were disappointed when Override was finally released.
