Health of our PBEM community

[Mr Grumpy]

Hi All,

As we know playing these game series H2H PBEM is a niche within a wider niche community who only play games against the AI and we are constantly reminded by the guys at WDS that the smart money is in selling these titles to people who will only ever play against the AI, that's just how it is.

However despite understandable perception that the PBEM community here is shrinking (age of members, lack of forum traffic etc...) I have been impressed over the last year or so with the amount of games that are being reported, this is partially down to the latest Tourney but I also see lots of reports from members who are neither in the Tourney and/or never post on the forum, so the good news is that the PBEM community is still alive and kicking (at the Blitz anyway) and there is plenty of activity out there! 

To support this activity is why this club has existed for the last 25 years and although some of us might not have another 25 years in us, it is great that at present the future looks bright.........
