[QUOTE="PaulofCthulhu, post: 4055914"] I've used the WotC sites less since Gleemax, but cannot attribute that to anything specific. I couldn't say for sure, but I imagine WotC has been putting their web page links in books for a time, so perhaps a potential increase would come though the likes of links through [i]D&D Insider[/i] being promoted on & offline and that incidentally leading into Gleemax? I imagine that respective community inertia (if there be such a thing) would keep numbers similar as they are now for other communities? Perhaps Gleemax would bring in players who may not normally frequent online forums (through [i]D&D Insider[/i]/virtual tabletop real world promotion)? What I've always found interesting is the number of times people have said to me that "I'm a big [i]Call of Cthulhu[/i]/HPL fan but didn't know about your site until today/you just told me", even having been online 10 years. There does seem to be a certain dis-connect between online presence and awareness. Regarding Gleemax, as always, the proof of the pudding will always be in the eating, and that will happen after [i]D&D[/i] 4th edition comes out, and I'm guessing Gleemax comes out of 'Alpha'. These really are just random musings on a Sunday evening so there's nothing really to make of the content of my posts! Funny things, web sites. :) [/QUOTE]
