Well well well, if this isn't a warning sign, then I don't know what is, second such topic in the frame of a month. Soon, oh so soon, people will start talk about dropping, and then?
Weeeeell, we all know what happens then, don't we?

That one "yes" vote up there is mine, sorry. Didn't notice that you could have multiple options and misclicked, I meant to click just "no."
The reason why I asked was cause of the thread. Sorry I didn't notice the thread.
That horse was beat & left for dead few weeks ago, took me a few minutes to find via a search so I'm not blaming you =D
But their are MANY awesome arguments for both sides in their so it's defiantly worth a read.
I wonder why some modder hasn't put a dead horse block in the game ya can beat every once in a while.
Maybe you can decapitate a horse (using vorpal if RP2 is still around), and leave it's head in your enemy's bed!
I would hope that I'm not such a sound sleeper as to fail to notice someone slipping a severed horse head into my bed as I slept. And I would also hope I didn't wake up the next morning and think it's probably the best looking thing I've had in my bed in years.
GregTech revolves around it, it supplies many ways to fly (gravisuit, jetpack, adv. electric jetpack although a couple are from different mods you still need ic2 stuff to make it). It offers extremely quick ore processing if you need it and mass power usage/storage that can be put to use with power converters or electrical engines to power some of the more useful things that need MJ. In my eyes it is a bit quiet but if it was taken out for whatever reason, you would notice huge changes lol. And not to mention just about every mod is compatible with it and works well with it for example EU for AE systems is just one of the many ways it works with the other mods
Like Oatmonster said, it isn't dead, it's done. IC2 is such a huge mod, so far nothing replaces everything it has in it. IC2 can replace almost any mod. Miner can replace the BC Quarry/Mining Well, Pump can replace the BC Pump, Macerator can replace the Pulverizer, E Furnace and Induc. Furnace can replace the Powered Furnace, etc. There are too many addons for it to die, Gregtech, Compact Solars, Advanced Machines, Advanced Solars, Gravity Suit, MFFS, Advanced Techologies, etc. I think that even if it dies out, someone will most likely maintain it and update it to current Minecraft versions. I personally, cannot imagine FTB or Tekkit, or any of those other packs without IC2. It's too huge, and too loved.
Um. Actually, if you started talking like that, it means something.
A long ago IC2 was the only mod people started with. It was like Furnace -> Generator + Macerator + E-Furnace and so on every single game. Now it have changed. Most people start with RC engines + pulverizer/PFurnace. It is IC2 that was replaced by TE. I know, TE wasn't made to replace IC2, but with TE people have other options. It's just wrong that "IC2 can replace TE". TE is newer, and if people use TE that means that it is IC2 was replaced. If you saying that there's no single mod that can replace IC2, that's true. But why should it be a single mod?
Speaking about Miners - they are not a true replacement for Quarry. They have their advantages, but miner is maximum 9x9. Quarry is up to 64x64.
And IC2 don't have any item/liquid transport features, which is kinda... very good to have when you have IC2 installed.
