number one reason why projects fail / die in the business world is lack of solid communication channels. and this day in age its not really what you do, its how you do it that really matters.

I have been following the forums for a while now, and I see some momentum with what Polix is trying to do. Great plans are always seem to be devised in this community, but acting on them always stops because of the God like figure that rules the biller and client. Hope you succeed.

kind of funny, but might be a worthwhile read.

What ever we say, it really doesn't matter, and will not take us anywhere. We are locked into this games politics and such until population hits 0 across every zone, then it can truly die.

if your making a news site, use wordpress.

Never actually looked, but it was worth a try mentioning it.

In theory the source could be used to connect via a pidgin plugin? Now that would be awesome.

worst thing i have ever done is actually though that sscouncil's forums represented the true intentions of the ssc.

Not all SSC really think (someone) should run the forums. So dont bash them for future reference.

Please try to include rather than exclude people, after all a community is what made the game what it once was, and from what I've heard the forum is on the ssc website because of ridiculous reasons. Please people put personal sides apart and think about how many people are being affected because if you dont, you wont have any zones to exercise your power over in the long run, thus making subspace/continuum obsolete. Put your differences/ personal vendettas aside and work together(with the community) towards making the game better and not putting more power in your pocket. Sooner or later you will have no power and nothing to show for. Some of us actually enjoy this game every now and then and wish that you don't ruin it for us and the new players.

Still, why separate the community even more. Community driven game my !@#$%^&*. And at least let us hear from other people on the SSC (other then aceflyer) with valid reasons why to separate the community and limit access. You want people to stay and play, you should take their ideas and let them have player input. Maybe population would rise if people feel they are helping once again. Forget the political reasons, open the forums for people to help. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE: Maybe some 30 year old programmer gets bored at work, plays the game for the first time in a while, then wants to help , only to come here and see stupid !@#$%^&* talk. Then again, it isn't worth his time if he has to deal with some of the people on this forum. So maybe the SSC forum could actually work out as a mature forum. Hmmm.

Haha, because of my comment about the statistics now you must register to even view the forum, if you dont register you only get to see a blank login page. I can't even see the statistics I had seen before. Stop being ASSS, you close the community more with the forum regardless of the forums intention whether good or bad. Open the community up, aren't you all the same people or some who are begging for open source of the game, and yet you hide behind closed doors. The game isn't really community driven anymore, we just play in YOUR zones and on YOUR biller.

Funny to see who has already registered for the forum. In any event, at least give them credit for trying to talk a bit, but should any zone with a population of 10 (3+ bots heh) be given access to all their sysops. Where will the line be drawn? And what has the forum already accomplished so far? 30 topics / 187 replies. I'm not bashing, Id just like to see what has been done, some progress.
