    Ok, everyone calm down...
     
    A) This is TWP, so honestly, threadjacking is expected. So please don't let this be the reason you get butthurt.
     
    The OP is making a request of everyone participating in the thread to try and stay on topic...so try and get along
     
    C) Cookies

    Should be able to...it was set to 0 which disables the users ability to edit their own titles...I've never been a fan of letting users change their own title, but it's been a TWP tradition since I've been around.
     
    I've set it to a minimum of 5 posts and then you can edit your title, just FYI.

    Winnipeg got a reaction from Darkesia in NS++ to be Bought by NationStates ?   
    He's being paid for his servers/infrastructure, which cost him both time and money to build and maintain.  You may dislike the person, but enough people use his services the NS Admin Team feel it's worth saving from the boneyard, so honestly, he deserves to be compensated.
     
    Open Source means you have the right to use the code all you want to build your own version of NS++, or whatever.  It does not mean he has no right to be compensated for his time if others find his end product worth something.
    It's not really that much different than anyone that runs offsite forums like myself.  I spend $35-40/month on the server we have here, and I don't expect anyone to contribute.  I get other benefits from it that makes it worth my wild (plus I'm just a nice guy...sometimes), so it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.  With the numbers using NSWiki, NS++ and other services, his bills are likely higher than mine....
     
    Overall I think this is probably a good event as it takes that infrastructure away from someone no one seems to like or really trust and puts it in someone's hands that is far more trusted by the Community.

    Winnipeg got a reaction from Neenee in Greetings and Salutations!   
    Welcome to the new, fresh install of our forums. As you can see there are some changes in Invision again (we were on 3.1 prior to our Virus Scare, and this is 3.3.4, so a few updates between.)
    I will be messing with settings as we get used to the new forums, and will most likely have some tweaking to do for a while, but it seems fairly stable for the moment.
    Everyone feel free to re-register your user accounts, and we can start moving forward on how we want the forums to look.
