In the overall best interest of the EAW Sim, I request at least a Prominent mention of MarkEAW's Help Site within the EAW forum; maybe its' own sub forum.
It's an Entry Portal, and should be an easy access for newcomers. The sim NEEDS new blood, and no better way to gain such by providing them with an easy way to access the game. Mark's site is the best way to do such.
No matter how it's done, let's make Mark's Help Site VERY prominent, and EASILY accessible to any and all newcomers.
The more EAW players, the better. After playing the original game, they can look at other versions. But if they can't access the original game, they will get frustrated, and move on to other versions of the game--OR appreciate the differences that the various versions of the game might offer.
submitted for consideration..

Let me look into it. I am not opposed to doing so.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

For me, The help site thread shows as the first sticky in this forum, just under the 2 sub forums. As the post creator, you should have the ability to change the post title if you wish it to be more eye catching.
Is a dedicated help forum warranted? Given the age of all the game engine versions (they all use DX6), maybe. But, to me, it seems that a sub forum will result in the same questions about compatibility being asked over and over again. Mark, you will be tasked with answering most of the redundant questions, is that what you want?
Just asking. Not trying to be a troll.

Sure, that sounds about right, its impossible to have everything up there, by that I'm referring to the mods ,skins etc.... listed on the files section. There is no ignoring or omitting however. Anything not there is present in the files on mediafire, just not enough time to get it all upfront on html pages. The promoting, I'm not sure, I based the site on the MSP version then hex edited versions then fxexe and codegroup builds of the game. I believe the first use help doc introduces the players to those types/versions of the game. *shrugs*
You address things and you seem to have an idea what you want or believe should be present, offering any feedback on how to improve things is surly welcomed. As always and all a long since i started my EAW Help Site some 5 years?? ago.

The sim NEEDS new blood... Guys, this sim is dead. It will be getting no "new blood". The people here will be the people who play it, and when they are too old to play or move on - that's it.

We do this because we LIKE doing it.
Full stop. And nothing wrong with that.

Everything passes, Russ.
Those of us left who still add to the game are perfectly happy walking off into the sunset while enjoying ourselves.
That's also why you don't see us posting much here. It's not an enjoyable place.
Our Facebook page is a lot more like the forum was here, many, many years ago. Just a bunch of people enjoying the game.
PS - Moderated by a very reasonable guy.
