"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Just a notice to everyone missing avatars:

Talk to your project leaders. The avatars will be generated from the project data on the website, so they must add you as staff members on the projects. I'll run the updated regularly until it becomes fully automated in the very near future, so don't complain about avatars to us.

Woah, I was really shocked when I saw the splash screen. And despite vigourous denial, I still think this has something to do with Setehk...it just a bit too coincidental :p :p

Congrats on the iniative Styxx, you're truly one of the most active admins, great work.

However, and I may get killed for this, I liked the site better before.. The new layout just doesn't sit well with me. Sorry, but thatsmy opinion. Defentiely something that can be refined over time, so its no biggie...

It's a great looking site! Only annoying thing is that damn acronym box appearing when I move my mouse pointer over things on the front page. Perhaps it's because I'm using Opera...

Anyway, congrats Styxx. It's a very thorough and eye-catching piece of work!

Nice of you, in a way, but you ought not to take the credit from Styxx - he's really done an awesome job here. :)

If you mean the GenFS/SCP forums etc., that's the way they're meant to be. The colour scheme of FreeSpace is mainly green. :)

Actually, I meant more like "ze plan is unfolding perfectly" coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised if that stars were in alignment or something.;) ;)
