This is NOT an attempt to revive old flame wars. When I first join Dumpshock it was in the height of the SR3-SR4 discussions. And the mix between those staying with SR3 and those switching to SR4 were about equal. I myself stuck with SR3 because I had just recently purchased it, and several other rulebooks just prior to the switch over (amongst other reasons). But I've noticed that Dumpshock's PbP has see a increasing number of SR4 games being hosted, but almost no SR3 games. (I'm doing my part BTW.) Why might this be? are SR3 gamers' more established with hometown games so they don't need the post? Are the ones who stuck with SR3 more at Dumpshock for the rules debates, canon discussions and dropbear talk? It's just something that's been puzzling me ,so i figured I'd throw it out there.
