agreed with Ashrak and an0n.

And an0n on his second point. I haven't checked General Freespace in months. And I'm looking at the SCP only based on the highlights.

Which reminds me to go and declare a mortuary on LM

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

You don`t know me but I was on the vbb by a different name when you were there.

You said you are keeping taps on the SCP, good, who knows maybe someday it will spure that akin for freespace2 once again and bring you back with re-newed interest..

So for now anyway, I guess its goodbye and take care, but I hope and pray you have a good life, and watch these forums.

See ya, man. Stop in every once in a while so I can have someone to flame/abuse/spam on. :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

The reason it's boring right now is because they're working on bug squashing in the SCP instead of adding new features. It's not real exciting, but it has to be done. Just wait until this build is out, then they'll be doing all the exciting stuff again:)

Yes, but the question remains; What then?

As long as the SCP keeps adding new features and doing new stuff, no-one can use it. Who's going to start a campaign with FSO when, by the time they've finished making a ship to utilise all the new stuff, a whole new list of features has been implemented?

All it's good for while they're still adding stuff (which they will forever be doing) is showing off.

That's not true, the SCP has sorted out a lot of the limitations of the engine as well as adding some graphical tweaks.

I for one am glad that we now have fighter beams for example, and the HT&L option is looking very juicy. For myself, the SCP is just another way of modding FS2.

To Petrarch: Farewell, and do pop back ever so often to moan at people and what have you. I myself will be here until the server burns out, or something like that. I'll be mucking about with FS2 for as long as I am physically able to! :D

an0n: Well, I[ will, for one. Already am, though I still hate all that gunpoint and heirarchy **** necessary to actually take advantage of the new features (i.e. anything at all to do with modding except table editing and modeling, ever). It's handy, and people are using it, it's just not pants-cackingly exciting stuff that's getting done. Glowmaps? Pretty fancy. HT&L? That's cool. Some of the more advanced SexPs? I'm sold. But those are few and far between, and generally pretty damn buggy, because most people are still working on things like (at a glance) making subspace textures procedurals- something that's of incredibly limited use, and is really just fixing something that ain't broke enough to be a priority in the first place.

It is making a lot more progress than anything else, which is why everyone still follows it even if they don't really anything else, but it's not enough in and of itself.

Hitman: I've been on HOTU for at least three. What's your point?

Lack of activity isn't a SCP fault, or, I think, a lack of interest problem. It's really us FREDders that are causing it. The few of us that are still around just don't seem to be as quick any more. Maybe it's because modding's become more common - back in the day, nobody could mod, so people FREDded their dreams into place. Now that people can mod, well, hye're concentrating on that, and the missions to use those mods simply aren't happening as fast. After all, lack of missions does directly correlate to lack of new campaigns.
