Hey, I noticed that there were few other places to discuss aurora outside this forum, so I have created a community on Google+ for aurora, where you can discuss and post things, like screenshots, reports, and the like.

If there's anything you'd like me to do, or if you have any problems with it, just let me know.
And of Steve or any of the other moderators don't want this, or have a problem with it, I'll happily close it down.

https://plus.google.com/communities/110178476138333455534 Fixed the link. You need at least 10 post for links to work properly, it is an anti-spam measure.

Facebook, Google+, Reddit. How long until diligent fans sponsor a local discussion club in my city? Would it have like a President, a Vice-President, and no more members?

What makes you think that there will be a Vice-President ;)?
Damn, palu, you were faster.

On topic, I really don't think it's necessary. Who uses g+ anyway, and who would use it over this forum when it comes to discussion of Aurora?

We talk about Aurora a lot over in the reagent shop in Moonglow on Ultima Online's Chesepeake shard.

...

Okay, I meant that as a joke. But I just Googled it and...holy crap. Ultima Online still exists?

I know, but in addition to those. And maybe it could help get other people into aurora.

Ugh. It's excel in space, images won't help at all in attracting people.
Would you be interested in blue screen with bunch of captions, same-color circles and lines?
That's what average people see in Aurora (well, tables too), and unless you can convince them to try it with cool or !!FUN!! stories, images won't do good.

And even if you can, it's better to concentrate game's small playerbase in one place, rather then spread out on several resources. The fact that this forum now has pseudo-wiki (forbidden to guests, unfortunately), two gallery sections, several fanfic subforums, and is generally a nice place to hang out, does help.

It is accessible to guests. Sorry, my mistake, for some reason I thought I can't get in when I'm logged out.
