A pretty interesting Diagram

its how i think of it

don't ask: why do you call it....  or why that name? look at the name, and i think you'll know

discuss!

You are definetly not be able to predict the future.

How do you know if the forum dies out? How do you know the end is coming? How do you know the eras?

THE ERAS AREN't REAL!!!

THE ERAS AREN't REAL!!!

I agree.
I JUST AGREED WITH SOMEONE! OMG!

After the release, I'd predict here would be a lot to talk about in the general discussion area. And I don't think anyone spends so much time on Universe Sandbox that he/she won't have time to post on the forum.

Dan is also busy developing US2 atm, when it's finished he might have more time as well.
But instead of saying the forum is going to die, why not post a new topic about the thing you want to discuss, or revive an old topic for discussion?

i don't understand Deoxy, cause he has is useless spam sposts. but NeutronStar.....i thought you would get it

EndlessDiscussion: a Time where 1 to 5 new topics where made everyday
ForeverWaiting: it was the Time where we only waited until next Update
TheHopefull: the Forum was alive again! 1 to 7 new topics where made everyday
NothingBlack(now): a time where the forum is nothing more then a empty shell of what ever was a Succesfull Forum.Universe Sandbox Discussion is empty, Universe Sandbox Help is like dead, Astronomy & Science is still living, Off Topic is getting empty too, Beta Board is almost Dead.

as you now can see what i mean, don't post stupid posts anymore about the names

I know that. I am smart and I meant they don't really exsist anywhere but the forum!

[atomic7732]

I was telling deoxy. I know the eras aren't real, he said that "How do yo know the eras". I get the names and everything. It makes sense to me.

[deoxy99]

Instead of Nothing Black, how about Empty Forum Era?

Nothing Black means everything but empty.

By the way, the Off Topic and Help and Discussion of Universe Sandbox flourished today.

That means the era is Forever Waiting, not Nothing Black.
