Left 4 Dead forum DEAD?!

[WaltonsMountain]

lol....man i havent been back here in 2 months and the headline about L4D authoring tools BETA is still up? What's the deal.... is this forum dead or something?

no , but really, its mainly because the game itself has died out. theres not much you can do about that

Couldn't disagree more. Atleast for PC players we have dozens of great custom campaigns like: Night Terror, Death Aboard, Dead City, Heaven Can Wait, Coal'd Blood, Escape From Toronto, etc which have been released with the highly anticipated DEAD BEFORE DAWN just around the corner.

Not to mention another Valve update (w/ extra campaign....short campaign, but its still something) due in September!

There are anywhere between 12-16,000 people on everyday on the PC version (cant speak for 360). That's hardly what I call "died out". Please remove the old headlines and get with the program L4D Forums before you fall to the waisteside!

give it a few more months [i.e. l4d2] and these forums will be lively yet again.

Er... Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 did not die of news. There has been plenty of news, yet some of the users on here don't want to post it and, it would seem, nor does the staff. He wasn't talking about inactivity of members, he was talking of lack of news.

Also, not sure what rock you're living under, but Left 4 Dead (in-game wise) is nowhere near dead.

Zombie Bot does most of the news stuff for the staff, to be honest. If people choose not to respond to the news, there's not too much we can do. The really important news someone will usually duplicate in the L4D/L4D2 Discussion forum.

As for the headline about the L4D Authoring Tools Beta, I believe that wasn't an 'announcement' - it was a one-off special announcement that can be closed if you look closely.
