Laika is also an admin now. As for what will become of the defcon forums, I favor locking threads and transitioning to a read only archive. It feels like that time is getting nearer. Ultimately it is IV's decision, currently it seems they want to keep the forums open for business. In the meantime we...

I'm not sure what IV's attitude to the forums is now (and I have asked). They more or less stopped engaging here around 2012. To be fair, the original community (from Uplink, Darwinia...) had largely moved on by then. I'd guess those people are preoccupied with careers and families now. DEFCON had i...

Bump

Hello to those of you still out there looking to play Defcon. Is the game still alive? Just about. There's a small community of old and new players on the unofficial Discord server . Discord is a free IM service, it's pretty easy to sign up. The server is run by Haakon. Feel free to post here too, a...

@Colytic, Has it not occurred too you, that as defcon forum moderators you, Laika and Dtnc can transform the forums into a read only archive now, simply by locking threads. I see Dtnc has said goodbye, if you and Laika signal your intentions to continue as moderators, and I hope you will. Then we c...

Even if no one wants to post anymore, it's a shame the entire Introversion forum is getting buried under spam. They should have at least archived it.

Damn Vic, after I did all your C++ coursework for ya, you forget my name Kidding. All the best to you for the future buddy.

Credit to Laika here, he has made some attempt to keep things going - I gave up much much sooner. It is sad though, maybe someone should archive the forum as it currently is? I don't know how, but maybe I could try and learn.

Hello everyone, I was a moody teenager back when I played, when I think about what I was like I cringe so much. Remember all that forum drama? Storm in a teacup stuff...oh well, I guess it was entertaining. Anyway, I miss all the wacky characters, the mad geniuses and their different schools of play...

Can't wait, someone needs to resurrect Defcon

Can you not hoover up our IP addresses using your image host trick? It's very Sicilian.

Huh. Reminds me of when you told me a few years ago about your IRL antics, I'm pretty sure you mentioned a cult which had something to do with vampires.

I am Colytic and this is my favorite thread on the forum.

Damn I look fine.

I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand s...
