Deleting systems poll UPDATE

[DocPepper]

I might as well rule out posting things on the forums if browsing is anathema to the consensus being made herein.

When I first decided I wanted to try playing on the server again a couple a weeks ago the first thing I did was check the news and announcements section of the forums. The fact that the most recent CNS article was from 9 months ago and the length of time since the last patch gave me the first impression that interest in the server had finally died down enough that development might have ceased.

The news articles posted to the forums are a great and quick resource for folks like me who are checking in after a long while to get a general idea of what went on in the interim, both as a sign that the server's still alive, and to get a better understanding of the state of the galaxy before jumping into roleplay. The last time I played was around the time Kusari had invaded Gallia, and it was one of those articles that drew my attention to the fact it was happening and got me participating for a short time.

The browsing analogy used was a poor one. I think that the articles being posted for major events are both a good resource for returning players, as well as a sign that the server's still alive and kicking for those on the fence about trying to get back into it.
