really?
because I have seen no one on. Six months ago, a year ago you would find at least 3 or 4 people on in the evening. now noone. I find that sad.
I have no expectations of people staying on there for the rest of their natural born lives but come on people used to be on there a lot more.
ah; but 6 months ago was summer. That usually meant more free time.
in addition; 6 months ago there were a ton of leagues going on so of course there would be a lot of people online; either wanting to spectate a game; waiting for another straggler to play; or waiting for an appointed opponent to play. I remmber in one of my VASSAL league games there were 9 people watching the match.
i see your point; maybe other people feel the same way as you and just dont want to even bother uploading VASSAL anymore and connecting. I know for myself that ive uploaded VASSAL 4 times this past two weeks; and 3 of those 4 times there was initially no one there. Maybe once people see on vassal that no one's online; they just shut it down; thus heavily reducing the chance to meet up with someone else online at that exact moment. Overall i would say the sure-fire way to meet someone online is to just set up an appointment with someone online.
To help boost VASSAL users; id be willing to start another VASSAL league on here with you; or even just send a bulk message asking people to go on VASSAL.
