Recently some of you may have noticed membership requirement for access to certain areas of this forum. The reason for that change was to encourage sharing of knowledge and to foster a “community spirit”.

Unfortunately, we still have a situation where a majority of people come here for the sole purpose to obtain information – rather than reciprocate by sharing. Ability to post (membership) does not seem to have made much difference in willingness to contribute.

Also, we have people registering who are clearly trying to hide their “true” names. I would prefer members use their egosoft forum name when registering with this forum. That way we can have a better idea who our members are, and develop better understanding of what projects they are working on – just as they already know what we are working on.

Because of the above, we are in process of making further changes regarding access to this forum. Soon requirements for membership (both existing and new) will involve the following requirements:

1. Members must use their egosoft login name. Member will be removed if corresponding login name does not exist on egosoft forum.
2. Members will automatically be removed after a certain time if they have never made any post contribution.

As a last resort, we may completely close this forum to all except those who actively participate.

Email with contents of this post will be going out to all existing members.

Thank you.

I understand why you may need to do this Observe, but to date i still have not received an email from here over this post.

is there something wrong with your email system?

No, nothing wrong with email system - I haven't sent the email. For one thing, we are considering forum alternative involving Wiki knowledge-base. So, depending on how all that goes, we may or may not address this matter further.

My knowledge is limited, will I be exorcised
I do have my Egosoft name though, that must count for something.
Mostly I've been modding. learning what does what, experimenting with subjective balance and so on.
I am slowly (very slowly) looking at XML in general and in extension the MD schemas; I hope to do allot of missions and alterations of Egosoft missions in the future.
I mostly enjoy playing the game - when modding for too long the game loses it's interest; got to keep the addiction up.

I do come here for information; because that is my level of experience. If I can contribute I will. I do try to point out solutions to those who do know even less than me on other forums. In this one I am at the bottom rung and have very little wisdom to share that is not already known and set down in print.

Thanks for keeping this site.

You're welcome. We plan on being around for a long time (I hope).
