Compared to four years ago, things are definitely a lot better. As Andy said, the cronies being banned was a real turning point, and we've had a lot more new users that are really dedicated to making interesting timelines. Generally you might find a lot of new users tend to be fairly young, but imho they are are just as focused on althistory. Map games still go on but its a lot more low key than four years ago, in fact we have a strict policy of only one game at a time, the current one being in the 14th century.
