[QUOTE="eyebeams, post: 4429468, member: 9225"] True dat. I post there quite often, actually. Lots of us do. Are you sure you took a good look? For one thing, White Wolf paying a writer means that the writer makes more than lunch money. It also means that production gets paid too. These are not insignificant costs. That said, WW could probably afford to release more MET, if they didn't expect every line to support itself through its own profits. I've already addressed how the Cam works, communications-wise. Otherwise, the forums have a fair bit of activity, though the observation that chatter tends to be spread out among multiple sites is correct. Shadownessence is the go-to fan run site, in my opinion. Note also that WW runs several web-based chat venues on its server. There's a whole lot of live conversation going on. Nevertheless, I do think the site is a tad clunky. I personally think it's a mistake to base an entire site on dynamic content just because bugs are endemic and load times are poor. Uh, that's not really true. The RSS feed has a ton of previews and multiple announcements of the impending release. Gaming groups are not "the gaming community." The gaming community is a mix of meetups, stores, clubs and messageboards. Gaming groups are private. I'm involved in several gaming groups, but few of their members are part of the "gaming community." The Camarilla is actually pretty big. There are multiple webchat games -- in fact, WW pioneered this form in many ways. Aside from the chats they host, there are usually a bunch of fan-run chat games going on at any given time. WW doesn't to RPGA organized play, though. Have you considered emailing the company? [/QUOTE]
