I was having a think there and a question hit me.How long will this forum/game last?
People like one of my relatives are saying `robot combat is dead it is time to move on and like stuff that is normal like football`.
This annoyed me so I'm asking you people how long will people be playing this game.. No wait here is a better question. How long will this sport last? To me I'd give it 10 years and then gets more advanced and continues for a lonnnnng time.
So who will be playing this game in 5/10/15 years and doing the sport that this forum is about?

It is getting better, popularity of robot combat is going up again
Just before we had a half built heavyweight robot half hanging out the car boot for about ten mins, and some random kid came up and asked "Was that on Robot Wars?"
It has not been forgotten about, and popularity is going up, and this means so will RA2
-
I agree with Vert, the popularity of robot combat dipped a lot during the mid 00's period but is slowly rising again
EDIT: 250 posts :D

But will it come back on TV?
-
I'll be playing this game so long as their continues to be a community devoted to it.

Well it's on the Gadget Show sometimes

But you've got to think about the future and I remember you know that guy from team run amok in which people ask questions I remember asking him that question and here is what he said:
`I believe that robot combat will recover from its current low ebb, but I don't think it will ever return to the high interest and exposure it had in the early years.`

He couldn't be more right

I honestly thought that Windows 7 was going to be the death of this game.
When I found out it was compatible (even though it is just as tempermental as it always has been) I was thrilled.
This is a unique game with a unique community... I don't see any possibility of a new robot combat game being made. Sorry dreamers and programmers.
That being said... if a new Windows Operating system comes out in the future that is 100 percent incompatible with RA2. The community will dwindle and then die. But, we still have a lot of years left at this rate. :D

Unless someone makes a patch for RA2, making it compatible.

Or they stick to an older OS?

Some of the die-hards would. But, with time, people would upgrade eventually and the game would be left in the dust. It's kinda inevitable.

Your relative sounds like a dickass fr insulting your interests like that.

I'll never upgrade from XP. It has RPG Maker XP and I'd never leave such a beauty :3

And I wont ever leave my XP... <3

Assuming nobody knows how to install an OS themselves.. ? Because Virtual PC has other ideas :P
Would kill off the less computer skilled portion of the fan-base though..
