  1. Thread Drastically Pruned: Due to an unexpected request to keep this thread alive, I have honoured the request and removed a lot of the very questionable behaviour. A reminder - discuss the topic, do not attack the community member. F
  2. It indeed must be the charm ... as for this installment of TOMBS, I'm thinking a timeout and revisiting will do it wonders and ease Eldar's justifiable rants
  3. And I suspect highly derailed - thanks for playing - parting prizes at the door ...
  4. Well we seem to have migrated from the PG rating to the M ... and we all know what that means ... it's time to play elsewhere in the Supermarket where parents and owners would rather not see such things ... Aisles are closed for the time being - Management. FLoSD.ObE
  5. ...oh, crud...why, Jebus, why???...ya didna install that Norton crapola in yer rig yet, did ya???...chalk full o' holes an' a resource hog like noone's business...ya'd 'ave been faaaaaaaar better off wit' Kaspersky, Trend Micro, etc...send it back, laddie; send the bugger back!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Fwiiw, I have recently migrated all of my rigs and clients to Avast 4.7 Home Free Edition. Smaller footprint and much more manageable UI, imo. As well, there is the Professional Edition for those in the business sector.
  6. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to offer their input. The brainstorm is now over and hopefully the mod squad can collate this and have the Chris Avellone thread up by the weekend. Thanks!
  7. Well rather than see this derail into sparring and personal remarks, let's chalk this up to a good reminder of Ye Olde from days long gone.
  8. Just a quick reminder that the thread will likely be closed in the next few days, so please feel free to add constructive questions for consideration.
  9. Since the Top Ten is now underway and I know that Feargus is continuing to prepare more answers, I thought we could move on to the brainstorm for the following Top Ten ... and this time it will be with Chris Avellone!!! Chris has kindly offered the following as a way of intro for those who may not know him as well as Feargus: So here again is the format that we will follow (note there have been some adjustments owing to the learning from the first Top Ten): 1) A thread will be stuck in the Developers' Corner that will encourage the community to post questions/items that you would like Chris to address. As a suggestion, I would offer that the question should be as succinct and pithy as possible - a suggested format would be: 2) This thread will remain open for 4-7 days. As this process proceeds, it should be understood that this particular feature will be keenly watched for SPAM and trolling. Though we moderate these fora with a high level of tolerance
  10. Okay all thanks for the input. Do feel free to use the PM system if there are concerns about the forum and issues around moderation.
  11. As many of you know - and have also kindly contributed to - we are starting a new feature. The idea is to develop a Top Ten set of questions that are posed by the community. This current incarnation was developed in the following two threads: 1 and 2. With the mod squad working diligently away at your suggestions, the following are the Top Ten for Feargus. The thread will initially remain closed while Feargus adds his reflections and responses. At that time, the thread will be opened for general discussion that will likely last approximately a week. I am grateful for the suggestion that this concept be opened to the rest of the devs and I hope in a few days to start a new brainstrorm/input thread for the next dev to play the Top Ten game. And so I know I have shared the Big Green's constructive posting schpiel, this discussion will be monitored closely for spam/flaming/and general trolling mayhem. Do feel free to enjoy yourself, but remember that respectful and constructive posting is hoped for from the Obsidian community. And now, here we go: 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10:
  12. Thread Pruned: For matters that pertain to administration of other fora, please use the PM system or contact the appropriate people at the fora in question.
  13. The thread is now closed for collating and posting early next week.
  14. The thread is now closed for collating and posting early next week.
  15. The hope is that it will be an open thread in which Feargus will interact likely first with the Top Ten itself and then with the membership. As for your questions, do please add them to the sticky if you would like them considered. As for what happens next. Hopefully the same process will begin with a dev a/o another list for Feargus. There will likely be a pause between the two in order to learn from this process to make the next that much more enjoyable and smooth!
  16. That sounds great - add it if you would like! Okay then ... I would like to let everyone know that we will be closing down the brainstorm by day's end and then the mod squad will collate the questions and come up with the Top Ten and I am hoping it will go live on Monday. @ the suggestion about opening this up to the devs, there is indeed interest from admin in adopting this great idea. We are working out what that will look like and I will keep you appraised as we proceed with the current Top Ten. So gecklings and gamers, if you have a burning (and constructive of course ) question for Feargus, get at it in the pinned thread Respectfully, Fionavar
  17. Do you think we could move back to the topic at hand, or is this lovely love-in gonna spell D-E-R-A-I-L-M-E-N-T?
  18. Well it would seem that we have arrived at a point where certain 'guidelines' have been ... ummm ... well breached ... Remember it's all fun and games 'til one geeky company feels offended by another geckling outift's fora that crosses the line of respect ... So here's me swooping from the Roost and feeling rather exhausted after ... FLoSd.ObE
  19. I will take all of this under consideration as I break out the Scale Of SPAM and Infractions of Guidelines to augur the future of some of our recently posted material and, subsequently, their owners ... FLoSD.ObE
  20. Well I believe that the world powers have determined that it's time to pack up the pillows and sleeping bags and move the troop back to the the big city ...
  21. Welcome to derailment my friends ... PHun, eh? FLoSD.ObE
  22. It could be a possibility. My hope is to first establish this feature and take the learnings from these and move on with other ideas. Thanks Soulseeker, it is a great idea!
  23. I am firmly - and rather scaly - convinced that we have arrived at the point where the good sort of inertia has been beset by chaos ... FL0SD.Obe
  24. Pershaps a question from this discussion might find its way into the Top Ten with Feargus list for consideration?
