Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I haven't read the whole tread. But you might want to add more games to the site. Like HardWar. If we get Software Refinary to release the source HardWar would be the best game EVER.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

Why would we want to have a FPS here?  There's enough shooter sites on the internet already.

see look! Joke! Chill guys. It was more of a rhetorical, i'll - attack - my -own- statement, statement .  I think we are fine as we are, and if we are bored, than we need to make more mods, or at least finish existing ones :)

THAT'S what all the fuss and ****ty comics are about? Hah! HAH!

Pathetic. I've seen better (and better-looking) games of a similar strain run off a DOS prompt. This game is obviously derivative, doesn't look nearly as versatile as half a dozen abandonware games I could mention, and the graphics (the only thing it might have that the others don't, being new) don't impress me. If you want that sort of thing, get Elite, or B-Hunter, or even I-War 2 (or even hit the-underdogs.com/ for a free one.

That just pissed me off. I'll hope, for the sake of anyone who mentions that game again, that it's freeware or something. Only thing that could justify its existence.

Since we seem to be promoting our favorite games regardless of potential, I'll go for Earth 2150/60. Got a smallish colony of die-hards built in, a good programming base, and a love of things that go boom. Plus, we're self-regulating and tend to leave other forums alone. All you gotta do is help figure out a .msh fix (and a .tex one, ideally) that'll let us mod.:rolleyes:

Now gimme something else stupid to bash. I've got a headache and this is making it better.

HardWar is not a crappy game. Just ask Ninechars about getting a copy (http://planethardwar.com/get_hardwar.html) so you can see for yourself. He has it some where on his site so you can download it.

We (the HW community) want the ppl who have the rights to the game come forward so we can get HardWar noticed. This game has been going on for 4+ years and the ppl who have had it that long still play it like it was the first time they ever did. And HardWar maybe inspired by Elite but it is far more advanced. In fact we are still finding out new things about it! Also SR (thats the company who made it) is soon releaseing a patch (U3). The beta testers for this patch say that there can be NO lag in a game with 56K players. Which I might say is a huge step beyond other games.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

Hardwar was one of the first continious state games that came out IIRC. I suppose it takes a special breed to like it tho, I have been desperately seeking people interaction with hardwar because the only friends that I tried to play it with really didn't get it because their more into action games. The other friend that got me addicted lost interest after the first few games of the demo too. I think you either hate it or love it, now if only we could make our own moths for it...

So then you know about HardNet (this is the download) right? Ninechars made this so we can get to and host games better. PLUS you can chat while waiting to play or setup a game with other ppl in it's chat room. And you it tells you how many ppl are playing in the world before you join!

Agreed. What horror it would be living in a Quake 3 forum, having to read through 890 new posts every day. What we have here is quite enough, I do (against popular belief) have a Real Life.

Actually I agree with you on that point; while it would be nice to bring some more people into the community, things may become somewhat unmanageable with too many guys.

I think that at our current state though, it might be nice to have a few more active members, since although we have some 800 people registered here, I don't think our regulars these days number much over 50 or so.
