Well this is a subject I have discussed a lot on this forum and in private conversations, in the last two decades of being at the club I have seen some really significant changes, literally hundreds of players have come and gone, reported games have ebbed and flowed and many people have predicted that more graphic driven strategy games would see the death of this “old fashioned” style of games………….and here we still are, you can still feel the pulse even if it is not as strong as it was in the past!
My perception is that many people who have been negative about the future of these games at the club have based this opinion purely on the forum traffic, and yes we certainly don’t see the same level of posts that we did ten years ago, but because I receive automated emails each time a game is registered I have been aware that there has been a steady flow of members playing these games even when the forum activity has been almost zero.
So may our hobby continue for many years, I think it is undoubtedly true that more older players drop off the edge than younger players join, but I can see the club reaching its 30th birthday in 2029 no problem, I will certainly be here and as long as I can find 10 opponents I will be more than happy.
So long live our PBEM hobby and long live the Blitz !!
