Well unfortunately this forum has slowed down considerably since the beginning. Now it seems there's only a few posts a day.
Yeah, it'll be until the next update before this livens up a bit.
The community is withering.
I disagree, because:
This forum doesn't get as much attention as before,
Well, this is true but:
StarconRPG is dead,
But *Heavy Space* has one active RP, one active CYOA and a WinkMurder game all set except for a few participants too little. We also had a Mafia game play out successfully. That's quite a lot of playing. More than I've seen in the last four years or so all happening right now.
the Timewarp project is dead.
But Cedric is modding a new adventure for UQM, Dragon is remaking Star Control and the guys over at Sins are absolutely flooding us in lovely SC imagery. Not bad for a measly little fan community like ours.
That community you spoke of did exist 8 years ago, but seemingly not anymore. I hope it comes back.
Community centres shift at times. When UQM came around it became a natural focal point because it was pretty much the biggest thing ever in our community. But now that it isn't as new any more, things pop up in different places. Frungylovers sees a lot of fan fiction, arts and crafts and other interesting stuff. The SCDB has had several music updates, there's fan fiction and a rather lively Off Topic section There is a SC comic with a second issue in production and a semi-weekly SC webcomic as well.
Seriously. I've been around since 2003 and right now it seems we're flooded with people making music, drawing comics, playing games and so forth. UQMF is the quietest part of the fandom, and this makes me sad. But calling the SC community gone just because this place is quiet is really rather silly.

Just adding the fact that I'm still waiting for an amazing sequel to live up to Star Control 2. .... amazed that I was able to get star control 2 started up on my Droid X phone in aDosbox... only problem is, once in game I have no control due to lack of a full keyboard layout, and some faulty virtual keys in aDosbox. Any way someone can port The Ur-Quan Masters to support the java based android OS? So I can still play the original on the go while dreaming of playing a sequel that will live up to the reputation.
