yes.
At the time of the blackstar forum in 2000, there was also this forum here. We just didnt realized it at first. Well i did then from Nov 2000 on.

But the blackstar forum was lame, compared to this one here. The distributor didnt put much energy in it. And so....many fans got upset fast. But it was the elite of the first german Paradox fanbase. Tracid was part of it. Many others also. The german fanbase still meet in
our german Forum....and discuss all kind of strategy games. Mainly the Paradox Games.
Unfortunatly many of them dont speak english very well...so you dont see them often here in this forum. But the more active ones from here transfer any important info to the german one also. So everyone is up-to-date.
