Temporal Mechanics needs your help!
May 10, 2008, 05:42:08 PM by Goober5000
Star-Epock has returned from the past and brings with him an archive of the old Temporal Mechanics campaign data. Unfortunately, it's password-protected and he doesn't have the password. Head on over to this thread and see if you can help him crack it.
Note to the new moderators... this is the kind of news post I'm talking about.

New Moderators
May 08, 2008, 11:28:13 PM by Goober5000
The second phase of our new forum policy is in place. As you might remember, we floated the idea of nominating a couple of forumites to be moderators back during the last forum rearrangement. Well, we finally got around to making a list and asking a few people. Here are the ones that responded. Treat them well. 
General FreeSpace: Wanderer, Mongoose
FreeSpace Modding: Herra Tohtori, Snail
FRED: Axem, thesizzler
Missions & Campaigns: Swantz, Turey
Multi: FUBAR-BDHR
FreeSpace Support: Lobo

New Monkey Policy
May 02, 2008, 11:04:57 PM by Goober5000
This was debated in the admin forum sporadically over the past few months ago, and I think it's high time to make it public. 
There has been a substantial increase in new members over the past several months, and a corresponding increase in both the quantity of posts and the need for effective forum discipline. We've come up with two responses to this situation, the second of which I'll announce in a week or so. The first is a change in monkey policy. The following rules will take place effective immediately:
1) All currently monkeyed users will be unmonkeyed so everyone starts off on the same foot. (This was actually done a few months ago, back when the idea first came up.)
2) Members in the Monkey group will be unable to post in any public forums. They will be able to post in private forums if they would otherwise have access.
3) Monkeying will last a long but finite and well-defined period of time. Originally three months was proposed, but I think we might start with one month.
That's essentially it. Post feedback here if you like.

Another maintenance attempt...

Hope I got the EDT<->GMT conversion correct. 
A few things I tried didn't work. However, I did manage to get a third of the log table removed. I'll try again sometime this week.
