I decline to answer that last question.
The answer to the other two is yes we have a purpose in creating this forum and you can read it in our manifesto.The Data Sphere Manifesto
We had 3 primary goals in creating this forum:
1) Help the Infinity community to find terrain & encourage terrain makers to cater to the Infinity community. We as Infinity players are in need of large quantities of cool looking terrain. We have created a space where players in need of terrain and terrain makers looking for customers can co-habituate.
2) To encourage the painting of Infinity miniatures. An ITS is 100% better for all participants when all the models are painted. We are painfully aware that the scale and detail of the Corvus Belli miniatures makes them more difficult to paint than the heroic scale figures most people are used too. We will support the painting of Infinity miniatures through painting tutorials by experts and eventually painting contests.
3) Get more retailers to stock Infinity. Every person should have easy access to Infinity no matter where they may live. This is not the case today. This goal requires a huge thriving independent Infinity community; one which will convince retailers that Infinity is simply too popular to ignore. We pledge our support to all the Infinity missionaries around the world striving to increase the popularity of our beloved game through setting up demo games, encouraging people to try it and talking retailers into selling it . Our Community forum was designed as a space for these missionaries to trade tips and strategies and; for the Infinity community at large to offer them the moral support the so richly deserve.
but lately people just self restrain, or go stealth, with the main content of threads. The weeks just after the rules were new, you could "see" some threads disappear or get locked.
