those are also great movies KP.

i haven't found many people who've even heard of Equilibrium, but most people i show it to seem to like it well enough.  i guess i watch it a lot because 1) Christian Bale and 2) Taye Diggs. great description, too, even though i think it's more like Brave New World whereas V for Vendetta is more like 1984. i usually say "it's what The Matrix could've been, had the Wachowski brothers ever read anything besides comics and manga."

Err that must be the dumbest way to do a link i have seen. And why the Frak can i not use copy and paste???

Another update SD??

as frustrating as it can be, i'd really much rather pursue a diplomatic solution that leaves more people happier than less, personally. i hate throwing accusations around, especially online, and i do believe that SD is trying its best. however, it really is disheartening to simply be brushed aside.

maybe i'll download MoO2 this weekend

Your right Silver, I apologize. Guess we got spoiled for a while and now GC2 is coming to a close. Oh well, guess us "Hardcore" types will ride it out, till we find something else shiny(the GC2DL CE box was shiny btw). 

On a happier note I'm playing a TA game for fun. I do have a question for you TA guys though. Does the Drath just clean house on colonizing in your games? Or could it be because I forgot to erase their config, when playing as them and now they have the abilities I picked for them? They have almost 70 colonies compared to everyone elses(including me) 20-something. I still edge them in most other areas so I think they aren't able to really develop, just grab everything.

Oh I didn't mean that as far as broken, I realize that is by design. I meant as far as the little things that keep getting broken and not fixed like the recent posts list that doesn't update all day until you hit "view more recent". The meta Medals(you knew I was going to mention that ) and having to use work arounds to view meta profiles or to do a simple search. It's small things, but after several updates the list keeps growing and just seems to mount up.

Sorry, I wasn't going to get into it again, as I'm pretty well just going to shut my mouth and play the game

Thanks for the info Kryo. I had a feeling the web developers and Impulse peeps were either one in the same or closely related, since Impulse is really just a browser/downloader in a way. I do have to say that since the new download mechanism was installed I haven't had issue one with it, so they are doing something right over there .

Since your around Lyro..got a few questions for ya.

FF support, will it be returning...i'd hate to have to use IE under any circumstances?

DA mentioned the Forums, so when Impulse is ironed out those problems (medals, search feature...edit borking) will be addressed?

The flow of topics from one site to another, i know this is seen as a good thing by Brad and ok, it's his baby so we have to live with it, but isn't there a point when one sites threads are flooding anothers and rendering that site nearly un-usable (from a strict GC2 point of view) for its intended purpose, that you step back and go "wait..maybe we need to throttle this back a bit"?

I know..well assume, Brad's focus is no longer on GC2 or it's forum. But there are quite a few of us still invested in GC2 and more importantly the MV and its forums so we dont want to be left out in the cold....Let Brad know that there is still a fanbase here and he shouldn't write us off yet.....

I know these topics have been bashed before but there are quite a few of us, and not just in the ToE that feel like this, just figured id chat about it here instead of creating a fuss in a dedicated thread, i'm not looking to end up in a flame fest over these topics.

Hey look...i'm worried about creating a fuss..i must have matured...

@DA.....

He might be referring to the loss of the spellchecker and the copy/paste functions in FF3.  Being that I'm perfeect and never mispell a word, it's not a priority for me.  I can also copy and paste by sheer force of will.

Good news on the medals issue. 

The edit button on the other hand isn't important.  (See above).   

my vacation starts in 10 minutes!

WOOOOOO!!!!!

drinking
drinking
shopping
BBQ
drinking
420
Magic Mountain
hmm something i won't bother mentioning here hehe
oh and drinking

The spellcheck is an issue with the edit box we use (third party javascript stuff, AFAIK). I believe the plan is to eventaully implement a server-side AJAX spellcheck though.

No copy and paste is actually a security function in Gecko--javascript isn't allowed to access the clipboard. You can still use ctrl-x/c/v though to do it.

On a total tangent. Anyone remember the Rocky & Bullwinkle show?

Bullwinkle: Eeny, Meeny, Jelly Beanie, the spirits are about to speak.

Rocky: Are they friendly spirits?

Bullwinkle: Friendly? Just listen.

And then they would cut to commercial. I guess it's funnier when you're 5.
