imo there is no use for a separate forum now, because it would be empty. qw isn’t finished, nor is it forseeable (for us) when it will be finished. 2006 just means within the next 12 months, that’s a very long period. and take the interval of the news: first rush was at E3, next one was in august at quakecon, next one in december (and this one was only in a very very very very very small part of the world). only pczone and cgm had an article. guess where these magazines are available and for which number of people? i for my part wouldn’t even have noticed it if i wouldn’t check the forum at a daily basis.
since SD is hiring a media artist for commercials, it might be that the commercial machine will roll at a higher frequency, but before that starts you would only hear these things: something you already know or people whining why there are no bots and why they have to pay for the game.
