Great. Never knew this site existed. This seems to have access to more sites than forums.stardock.com. I guess this is the Impulse Community Forums. Fine. Wonderful.

Like I said there should be mechanisms that allow people to view what it is they want to view. If you want everything then clearly there's a way for you to do that. Since this is what you appear to want then I'm happy for you.

However I would like the same opportunity to view what I want which in my case is a far more limited set of forums. Regrettably you get your wish but I don't get mine.

Yes it seems this behavior is not all that uncommon although for me at least at the moment the current list seems only a bit over an hour behind.

To clarify, there are a number of different "recent posts" lists that people may be referring to. These probably differ from one site to another and here I'm specifically talking about how these are listed on the GalCiv2 site.

First off if you come in via www.galciv2.com then there is a Recents Posts box along the left margin. I think this is the one that Captain Yar is refering to because the latest post I see there at the moment is one from 9AM forum time this morning. This isn't the list I usually look at.

I usually go directly to forums.galciv2.com which is the same as goind to www.galciv2.com and pressing the Forums button in the left margin near the top of the page. Anyway once at forums.galciv2.com you see the Category list showing the forums and subforums along with the ten most recent posts at the bottom of the page. This list also has a tendency to get somewhat out of date but currently the most recent listed here is from 13:19 forum time (about an hour and a half old).

To actually get the most current "recent posts" you click on the "More Recent Posts" link at the bottom of the page that takes you to the first page (50 per page) of the current Recent post list (https://forums.galciv2.com/recent). The most recent post listed here is from 14:44 (only 5 minutes old). This is the most accurate place to view the "recent posts". This list goes back 72 hours and usually consists of 3 to 4 pages of 50 threads per page.

AS far as Impluse being the most active, it probably is only natural since it's a new product that cuts across all of SD's products. I guess it is a way to "advertise" Impluse but given that it's to be the future upgrade mechanism for GalCiv II it does have some relevence in the GalCiv2 site and perhaps legitimately belongs in the list of recent posts on the GalCiv2 site. However I don't think the same thing can honestly be said for the OTF and it's subforums.

Back on topic.... sort of:
Would negative karma then make your ships go slower? And what if you're in Yor space at the time? Does and interdiction field have any affect?

BTW i like both waffles and cake. And I was going to give you karma JUST to make your post inaccurate.

The number of points anyone can give is dependant on their forum rank. So all the rank 1 citizens can only give +1, but forum mods, etc can give higher since they're higher ranked.

For the forums that use them On Sins, everyone's a citizen and nobody gets ranked up.

Nah, they've said there's nothing for Sins to make forum ranking meaningful, so they won't do it

Okay, let's try this again.

If someone has a certain value in their karma pool... their actual gameplay 'features' would be automatically enhanced by that edge alone? right?
Darn, that's why even my best hyperwarp engines never seem to keep up with DreadLords!

Hey, what about valid spending Tokens equals Karma. Nah, that would be a nightmare for SD customers' service too. And moderators could fall into a depressive mindstate sooooo bad, forums participation would become a huge mess.

You give too many good reasons. *gives negative karma*

Making negative Karma available, will make the average Election for office look like an amiable chat between life long friends, compared to the war that would break out on the forum(s).

Doesn't look dead to me.

What about Necrophil< explicit content removed >?

If it went w/o a comment for 6 months, then I'd agree. It seems alive and well Mr Reptile.

There ya go..thats 2 i have given ya.....

Bah, I wish I could have been stuck at #13.

Ya know, I once dated a girl who was born in Vorhees, NJ on the 13th... When I found that out my jaw dropped and she didn't understand. Even after I gave the hint about what Jason's last name was, she was still clueless.

/sigh

No, she wasn't blond either!!!
