Worms Armageddon really the only active worms title right?

Can't say much about WMD, but maybe those patches would help it a bit for a week or two
Is this the main active place worms players actually frequent?

http://snoop.wormnet.net/ <- a realtime WormNET monitor
how does one come into the community at large
idk
I think you did it just fine
where are good places to find people to play with.
#AnythingGoes
as well as various leagues and stuff
I've done some googling and found a few sites that had worms communities on them but all are basically defunct due to inactivity.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/217200/discussions/0/522730700668956542/ "Currently active websites and community projects"
that's the most actual list I know
i feel that that is either not the place people play or the community is fairly small.
It's not that W:A got a big community, it's that other worms games have even lesser (or non-existing) communities. We don't have thousands of players over here, but what we have is still enough to just come into #AG, host something and get a few players within a minute, unless you're playing a very specific scheme (like Drown Syndrome) or live in an unlucky time zone - sometimes the server is indeed a bit empty.
Also, in case noone joins your games, might check out this
http://worms2d.info/Hosting_guide - since whatever you host is hosted on
your computer, it must be connectable from outside by port 17011 - make sure no sort of a firewall blocks that.
