Hmm, not been so active lately, mere chance I logged in today...
It's been an important part of the Project Entropia experience for many years, I'm sure both forums will continue with success. As I've had no chance to read the threads about forum movement, I only have a basic idea of what's going down, so no long post!
Bought up or sold out, I don't know. Does it even matter? Some would say it should have happened years ago. I hope it's not just a case of controlled +rep for the official side of Entropia, using the database of users to show it's 'automatic loyal following', and that the huge wealth of information borne from experiment, thought, discussion and sometimes even argument is preserved for all.
