		Ok then, i will explain to you people what a "flood" is. A "flood" is when a forum or other type of online community has a large surge in the amount of people participating in the discussions.  Usually triggered by a mojor event, like the beta test, the number of members jumped from about 1500 to over 4000 in a few days.  That was a big "flood" at the time because the number of people nearly tripled.  There where newbs going all over the place.  So it was like a "flood" of newbs.  Now, since WW released these mod tools, the number of people is about 15000.  I have only seen one person on this mod forum whos member number is below 1500, other than me. That is what I mean by a "flood".

		ok then now that you explained what you meant by flood, yeah there is a big one... but I don't think the actual posts have picked up too too much since people started modding with the c130drop file and stuff

		Yes the posts have picked up.....  Before there wasn't even any mod forum and now there are thousands of posts, that is a "pick up" if you aks me.

		yeah, I kinda joined up in the community after the mod forum was created... but then again I joined up as soon as I heard about renegade which was after it was released (which was about the time the multiplayer demo came out I think)(yeah it's true, I haven't been a huge C&C fan like a lot of you)  then I tried out the multiplayer demo and ordered renegade that weekend
