The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Me, since I don't have all that many people to play my various RTS's with, I play several different browser-based games - most because of invites from friends. They consume almost all of my free time - what they don't use is consumed by EVE Online or whatever other random thing I happen to be doing at the time. My current list is (I'll provide links for them, in case anyone's interested):

Star Wars Combine: a Star Wars simulation. Probably one of the more accurate sims I've found recently, with a full economy in effect. No combat yet (which, I think, is a good thing, since I would get destroyed rather fast, I think :DD ), but production has been recently released. There's still a long way to go, but SWC is still cool in my opinion.

RuneScape: Probably one of the most well-known MMORPG's out there. I don't play it that much (since I started playing EVE Online, actually), but it's still not all that bad, in my opinion.

Astro Empires: A strategic space war game. One of my newer interests, I've become rather adept at defense in it. Though some things can take some time (a month to build a Leviathan... :cry ), I find it fairly interesting, mainly through watching the politics going on in the forums (that can get quite heated at times).

Cyber Nations: An online nation simulation game. I grew proud of my nation...though now it stands a shadow of what it once was, nearly annihlated by a massive, one-sided war (my alliance vs. ten others...we're outnumbered 8-1 in terms of nation strength and nations arrayed against us. Down to ~800k from ~11mil nation strength before the war...). GATO barely exists anymore...But those that remain stand firm.

These are the main ones. What do you think of browser-based games, and what (if any) do you play?
