Wargamer has it's odd moments, sadly they are few. Military gamer has some potential. Maybe it will get that potential if enough Wargamer forum types feel the move is being done with them in mind. Then again if the Wargamer forums merely close, and the Military Gamer people assume that the Wargamer forum people will simply join the Military Gamer forums, they might not get far. I am a member of both. I am also not really interested in the Military Gamer forums. When I say they don't move much, I really mean it. I usually discount a web sites primary forum (ie reason it was first formed) as well as the General Forum (or equal to it because it is not always termed "General"), and their free for all forum (most sites have one, at Military Gamer its called "Nobody Asked Me But"). But if you look, you will notice quite an array of subforums 25 in count I believe. And greater than 10 have seen zero interest in more than 45 days. So it's not like Military Gamer is a "happening" place automatically. I am not saying I don't like the forums there, I am just saying, with Wargamer gone (if it isn't retained, and I don't know if it will or won't), there is an equal chance I might just strike it off my list of forums and leave it at that. I am not necessarily going to suddenly become active at Military Gamer just because they bought Wargamer. It might well mean I am more active here at Matrix and Battlefront (where I actually spend most of my time). I have never downloaded anything at Military Gamer, or found a must have link through them. They are not one of my current favourite portals to wargaming. Not that I don't like their site, I have just not found anything over there I found interesting yet. In some cases their site was merely redundant (I was able to get what I wanted somewhere I already was). I hope they don't disperse or discontinue some aspects of Wargamer. They are a great source of Steel Panthers files (yes I will play SPWW2 and SPMBT just as much as the other versions).
