Seriously... EX: To me SubSpace is a hobby. Something I do when I'm not working on cars, or spending time with the g/f. And now owning a home, when I'm not busy with all 3 of these, I find time to sit down for an hr or so a day and browse the web while handling tickets and idling in game. Weekends, sometimes online more, though not always at my laptop, it's near me somewhere to reply. So in reality, SubSpace to me, is a hobby. What is SubSpace to you?

Alright, I've set silently and watched this, but now that attacks on Alex are starting... As the person who was pretty much the ringmaster in all of this, I guess I should explain. Snrrrub came to me about something, now been so long I forget. Well, he also was interested in how things we're going with a new client, billing stuff, etc. I explained a few things to him, we had some discussions (including over the phone) and before you know it I had him hooked up with Ghost. Ghost had finally decided to give my pestering him for change a shot, and Snrrrub couldn't have timed his coming back any better. So we gave him almost any access he needed, and anything else he needed. On top of that, him having the cont protocol mostly cracked, we figured it was best to keep him close and keep an eye on him. Better to have him on the good side than the bad. Well, then the plan to carry out a new client, replacing Priit's SSC Biller, and getting everyone to begin moving to asss (made the 1st 2 more easily possible) was put into action. Ghost had a lot of ideas how to do it, and was heading the operation. I just spread the word, and got people involved, and helped get support. He went MIA for a little while, and Snrrrub was doing a lot of dev. Well, in time zones began asking for more help with the Subgame to ASSS stuff, and I began talking to ghost about it. Snrrrub wasn't releasing anything more, and said it was theirs to figure out. With lack of response to any request, Ghost gave him 24hrs. Nothing. So SSCA's SSC got pulled. Through a long e-mail, pretty much ending in "Isn't what your doing totally the opposite of what we're trying to achieve?" he finally e-mailed Ghost and myself back, and appologized. He then released more information, and began helping zones a bit. Sadly with the downtime of 2 days SSCA experienced we lost support for him from everyone. That and Ghost's fears he was handing us over to the possibility of another priit, a mistake he vowed to not make again, he cut ties with Snrrrub. So of course, having no support from the community, well from the people who could help him easily implement his efforts, he pretty much has seemed to stop work. He did state early on, if noone was going to support him or if he felt his work wouldn't be used, he wasn't going to waste his time. So I feel this is what happened. It was just a few combined failures on both sides to understand, but this was the outcome.

Good Work.

I be back.

So far so good. Hear at my parents on the other side of town using their internet to look for internet, hah. My dog loves it, as he has a yard to run in now. Runs from the gate on one side of the house to the other, back and forth. So nice to see him happy and enjoying himself again. He really needed a yard. Anyways, should be back in a few days.

After tomorrow I dunno how long until I will have internet again. Hoping to get it squared away tomorrow, but not making any guarantees. Most people who need me got my # to text or call me. If not, pm swift and he'll call me and hit me up. Anyways, back to packing. Gonna make 1 last box trip tonight before I go get the moving truck for the furniture and rest tomorrow. Cya when I cya.

for the price, can't beat it. Nice build dude.

I asked for question suggestions, got very few answers, and fit almost all the suggested ones within reason into it. So... I dunno.

I'll see if I can't dig some of my old favorites up, and hit my bro up for his. He still does a lot of photoshop work. One site I can remember: http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/ Always good stuff at deviantart. Also dude, get on IM sometime or in SS. We needs to talk

I've had no issues with any software or Windows 7. Been using the RC of it for 6 months (4/22/09). I'd suggest maybe trying a reformat Blocks, maybe bad install?

Do you actually even know what the whole "PRIZE" part of the nobel prize is?

Not the churchill bs again... Heard enough about this crap at work... From the website dedicated to churchill: http://www.winstonchurchill.org/learn/in-the-media/churchill-in-the-news/529-winston-is-back-in-eight-volumns - The only mention from the BBC about it, and barely anything - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/7922428.stm - And why not another Britain news paper, the telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4623148/Barack-Obama-sends-bust-of-Winston-Churchill-on-its-way-back-to-Britain.html - Funny how its all being blown out of proportion here at home. And they did have a meeting and no issues. I actually liked the ones on Israel. Seriously. Its time for them to put on their big boy pants and survive or fail. India I haven't paid much attention to. So, because we're trying to make amends with another world super power, we're wrong? On top of that, I'd find an alliance with russia far more valuable than one with the czechs, polish, or georgians. And as for people who say Russia has no right to invade Georgia, a country who's militia (or some might say terrorist) has led attacks against russian soldiers along the border, Terrorist attacks give no right to invade a country? Really? Mind explaining Afghanistan to me? Or Iraq (without using WMD as they have already said they we're wrong in believing we're there and it was more Iraq's ties to terrorism)? Mexico... the country who is complaining because we are sending illegal immigrants back home? And I remember him saying he wouldn't support Japan in a undiplomatic approach with North Korea as they had begun hinting at going in and disarming them. We have too many military bases in japan (including a brand new naval facility which is a detachment of the one I work at) to just let North Korea shoot missiles at them, but he'd rather go the route of diplomacy first. I'm neither for nor against the guy. But seriously, stop and think about this crap from a middle ground perspective for a minute.

The Zone is now in chaos. Closing this topic.

Well, Cre mentioned the zone thing to me, and it could easily be done. As for latest news, I could probably create a mod/addon for a global message for latest news topic to show on SSForum under the nav area (SubSpace Online Forums Memebers Etc.). Edit: or hell, I could add a small news ticker to the ss navigation bar.

Starting to feel like I should assume noone cares bout this or having a central site anymore, and should stop working on it and turn it into a static website. Was expecting more people to step up willing to help with sections of the site, but nothing really. I'm going to be very busy in coming weeks, and may not even have internet for a few days with moving into my house and all. I'm not going to let the site continue sitting partially finished, but my free time has been limited lately by preparing and paperwork and other crap. So if you are willing to help with any of the following, lemme know: 20 Questions, "Zoner" Comics, Tech FAQ, Getting More Downloads Setup, Developing more "Entertainment" Content, or Posting News. I have had 2 people ask bout it, but I don't honestly know anything about them, and wouldn't trust them yet with anything more than posting news. Seeing as the scripting is on hold thanks to a nice update IPB is doing to the cms, only myself and site editors will be able to post for a few weeks. So lemme know if you are willing to help. Edit: oh, and I show some people at work, and a friend of mine show some of his friends, and they grasped the basic idea and content of the game from the site, and thought it was a very nice site. I told them I want to build on it, and the main suggestion was in the Tech FAQ and maybe giving more reason to revisit the site (IE: News and Entertainment). Seeing as this was from people who had never seen nor played our game before, and this is what they'd want to see on a site for the game if they did start playing; I'm taking their opinions to heart.

In all honesty, I prefer to do it in game if possible, as it limits the number of chars an answer can be, and keeps us from having to read paragraph long answers.

Its a fucking game, why does it have to be serious? lol Thats half the problem, is people taking it too serious. So these questions are more just general and goofy. The people being interviewed enjoy them because of that, and everyone has a good time.

I can also get contact with QUITE a few old sysops (IE: Evaugh - EX EG Head SysOp & Hallucination - Long time Chaos Owner) & developers who are still around. I think old zone staff might be interesting, as honestly, back then staff CARED about their zones, trying to grow them and make them what we had. Now most of them just want power or don't want to let them go. I'd prefer to ask people who still hop in, as many questions are geared towards why they still play. Though I can modify them a bit, and ask why they're still involved in the community, or why they left, etc. I'd feel odd asking myself the 20 questions, so don't plan seeing anything from me for a long while. And MikeTheNose I have done, just haven't posted. And finally, I did interview 2 zone owners, who both didn't do any bragging about their own zones. Besides TW Staff, there isn't any questions where they really can without lying.

Going to begin hunting some people down for 20 questions interviews this weekend, but who would you be most interested to hear from? Waiting on Priit to reply, so don't list him. I'd prefer to start with zone owners and head sysops, but list away.

Banner gradient issues fixed, and tweaked DCME's banner a bit more. About DCME and Advertisements only 2 pages left. Billing Site is sliced up, and support script for bang updated and billing is now up. ( http://bang.subspaceonline.com/ | http://billing.subspaceonline.com/ ) SSC Net-Ban text updated with new url, and old url redirecting. Also have created a standard policy for name/squad stuff: http://billing.subspaceonline.com/#policy :which was oked and agreed upon by Ghost Ship, Mom, and myself. Need to add more to Files and Technical FAQ in time, and get News Script fully operating. After all that, next will be getting a new zoner going. Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions?

Forum re-opened with all topics since Aug 2008 restored. May go through and restore more as time goes on.

If I restore it, it will be as a subforum under general discussion until it can prove its worth as a forum again. The old one got to the point where it was viewed less than some of the inactive zone forums, and had frontpage topics stretching back to feb 08. To me it got to where it looked like 1 topic at a time was ever discussed, and I saw no need for a seperate forum for that. So if that is all it deems to be, then what is the point. You can just as easily post the topic in general.

So many comments, so little time. Aileron has the right idea though I think. It should be based around gameplay somewhat more though I think. And yeah, no cursing. Half the reason Red vs Blue is as popular as it is, is cause 13yr old halo freaks can sit and watch it without mom and dad getting all pissed.
