I almost unsubscribed from this thread several times. It has outlived its usefulness. There are some conversations I'm interested in tracking, but most I'm not. But I have to stay subscribed in order not to lose valuable information. This is a problem that is getting worse.

I've thought about splitting the thread, but frankly, in a forum with such high traffic and variety of subjects, I find it easier to follow one long thread than several smaller ones. There's no guarantee that people will stay on topic any more when the thread is split, and we would get effectively more notification mails per post. Also, I'm a bit worried that the PTB might not react so well to me flooding the forums with threads about 'my' figure. Okay, I'm not alone in this, but I guess Antonia is still mostly associated with my name, so basically I could/would be perceived as spamming the forum.

At some point I hope Antonia will have a 'real' web site with forums, wikis, download areas and such, but right now, I simply don't have the time to set it up. In general, I don't think that forum threads are a good way for storing retrievable information, anyway. There's now a Wiki for that, and you're all welcome to add new pages as long as Renderosity doesn't object.

That said, it would be good if we tried and staid on topic in here. I'm guilty of getting into chatty mode and/or wandering off topic myself, but I guess there are limits.

Finally, if anyone wants to start spin-off threads about special topics, they are obviously free to do so. We'll see how it goes.
