Back after a long leave

in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Please don't be hate'n</div>Ok... please don't flame me, but I was off the NS scene for 2 years, popping in every six months or so when I came back into the states for a visit (I was in Guatemala, volunteering at a Children's Home). The NS community seemed active last year (2006) when I played in late June, but then again, maybe it was on its way out... so anyway, what happened? Was it just a trickle of people leaving, or a great exodus out?
Can anyone point me to the details of the past two years and this slight upset in NS popularity?
Thanks

    An informal survey of the ANSL forums pointed to Flayra as the culprit.

    i guess everyone just moved on to more recent games. Don't worry as they will all come back when NS2 is released <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    yup, I took some time and explored the mmorts (and mmortsfps)genres and purchased supcom, but worst mostly and consumingly I re subbed my wow account. I'll re download NS when I get home and if any good classic servers are running ill play it up and see if I can get the ole fps trigger back.

    I dont know milo but I am very suspious of these old newcomers

    Hum I think the forums being hacked had a lot to do with, Cal being disbanded, the host for all the custom content, nsp was it? took it all down. Even tho I know for a fact several Australian servers were still being filled the providers disbanded them. Telstra Game Arena now only have 2 classic servers with no mods, as apose to like 6 servers it used to have, extel has just recently brought there server up but its caked out with stupid, stupid mods, no offence, but it just my prefrance not to have mods across every server. My bigest issue is all the custom servers are the ones that had the admins in Aus. GA needs to get off there arse or someone needs to host a server with a effective moderation system, that doesnt involve custom mods and content.

    /stuck is good
    langauge mod is good
    anti gamma ramp is good
    force consistancy, to get rid of those custom WAD files and stop those kiddys useing leet bunny hop scripts.

    I also would only like to see 1 or two CO maps people dont play offtan enough in rotation till the server gets 4 or more, then it switches to a map rotation that has NONE of the most played maps, so none of the classics everyone votes to, *note in turn hopefully spawning a new few maps that might get a vote in on other servers in furture. But I would like to see custom NS_maps that are acctuly good, and not seige maps or stupid maps that look like they were riped from doom 1 and have the same poor quality textureing all over.

    Now you have a recipe to grow a new community, players wont get stuck finding there res wasted, games can begin with low numbers on Co, people who are learning enjoy learning new maps, its a language friendly enviroment with racist ###### being removed abruptly, by the mods.
    And with mods, so ok the community is growing there are heaps of regulars a mod on, "can we play a classic map" "sure, come to a agreement and ill load it."

    Well, I'm didn't leave NS to go play something else. I was volunteering my time down in Guatemala for almost two years and came home every six months to spend a week or two with family. I got on a couple of times during those short visits home and everything seemed active. It was just this most recent time (coming home permanently... for now) where I noticed a significant lull.
