Mammoth is 100% correct - almost all the 2016 diaries were under the old board where you could only show appreciation by making a post, whereas 2020 diaries tend to be on the new board which favours the Like button. The natural result of that is you're going to get far less posts per diary, so looking at number of pages isn't comparing like-for-like.

Well, the man himself has said it, thank you Mr. Ryland for clearing it up. Makes alot of sense. Here's to many more great dynasties!

I cannot emphasise what Mammoth has said here enough and it goes both ways too. Writers shouldn't be discouraged if they're not getting a lot of views/comments (I've been there before!). It's a bit Field of Dreams but if you write it and you write it long term, people will come if they're interested.

Oh by no means am I saying people should be discouraged against writing dynasties, I love reading them. I was more asking from the standpoint of someone who has been away from TEW for many years. Whether the community had died out, whether 2020 wasn't as good for dynasties as 2016, there could be a myriad of reasons.

Maybe you're remembering wrong. I bet if you went to the Dynasty forum and checked the last post on the top of the page and the bottom of the page for 2020 diaries and 2016 diaries on multiple pages, and compared the activity of each page, it would be about the same.

I did go and check to see if I was just imagining it, and I'm not. As far as the number of replies for diaries still up on the forum page (there may have been some archived in both forums, not sure) 2016 had 12 dynasties with over 40 pages of replies, 4 of which had over 100 pages. TEW 2020 doesn't have a single diary with over 40 pages of replies. Also, TEW 2016 has 67 pages of dynasties and 2020 only has 35. Nearly double the pages with some dynasties that were vastly longer.

Just logging into this account for the first time in many years, why does it seem like dynasties have died out on the forum, what happened? Back when people were playing TEW 2016 the forum was always loaded with long diaries, what's changed?

hey kam I know your not taking req. but would it be too much to ask to turn the WWF style SWF logo red & black like the other one? Would be greatly appreciated.
