*facepalm* just saw the OP. I apologize for being so incredibly stupid. I know a few people who would be happy to hear that. Thanks, Zucal. Pardon my idiocy. I was debating on a nonexistent issue.:blush:

[quote name='Zucal']Screenshot the discussions. Download the crafts. Bookmark the videos. Copy your threads. Ta-da.[/QUOTE] That's what many are trying to do. They just don't have time. Archiving 200 pages takes a lot of time.

I'm not worried. I just empathize with a few friends whose companies are being wiped out. I have already preserved my work, but there are many who can't. Zucal, do you have any threads you are fond of? A craft, a story or video, or even just a really funny discussion that you like to look at from time to time? Now imagine that being lost, times a hundred. Craft files can be reposted, that isn't the issue. It's the months of laughter, comraderie, and frustration being lost that concern them.

I might get banned for this, but since SQUAD is intent on destroying so many people's work, IDGAF. I know the Rocket Builders section has had problems. I won't point fingers, because at some point, everyone in that section, including myself, has done some sort of roleplaying. However, we haven't had any incidents in nearly a year. Most of us just want to build things, and enjoy the collaboration of working in a group. Like any group, there were a few bad eggs. Some people take it too seriously, but for many, it's because they've spent a good chunk of time on their company, and don't want it all wiped out. Look at zekes, for instance. I don't like the thought of a bunch of my old posts being deleted, so I can only imagine what it's like for someone with a few thousand posts. I know that my voice has no meaning. Heck, after the past few days, I don't think any of the Rocket Builders have a voice anymore. The writing is on the wall, and I doubt anything can change it. So, to any mods or staff members who see this, I have one thing to say: I hope you're happy. You have alienated several upstanding community members, people who have been kind and helpful on this forum for years, people who loved KSP and this forum with a passion I have never seen; your actions have driven them away for good, and angered many more by showing them that their voices are meaningless. I know it's your forum at the end of the day, and I understand that you can manage it as you wish; but please, don't push so many away for the actions of a few. I have loved this forum from the day I logged in. The community here is the kindest, most brilliant group I have ever been part of. I love it here, but I cannot abide what is being done. I will not beg or plead for the Rocket Builders to be saved, but if this plan is implemented, know that it will tarnish the image of SQUAD permanently, both in my eyes and the eyes of many others. kmMango

What is the launch date?

Put me down as backup EECOM.

GMT -5 Also, put me down as backup EECOM and FAO.

Gah, I REALLY want to do this, but I don't have the time!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

A New Kind Of Stock Submarine Recently, I have discovered that there is another part in KSP that sinks: Ore Tanks. What makes these different from other sinking parts, you ask? Unlike fuel tanks, Ore Tanks let you jettison their contents manually. This allows for a submarine that can increase its buoyancy without burning fuel, making for much smaller, simpler vehicles. This vessel, which I have dubbed "Bathyscaphe" due to its resemblance to the famous Trieste submersible, is a basic design that can reach the seafloor in around 30 minutes, and stay there forever if so desired. To surface, just dump some of the ore. The craft is equipped with downward-facing lights to illuminate the ocean floor, and a docking port on top for transportation and refilling the Ore Tanks. Action Groups are listed in the craft description. Enjoy! Photos of the craft in action. Craft file download.

Congratulations, Zoo! Thank you for your dedication and general helpfulness. I hope you'll stick around for 5k more!

So glad that it's still up. I regret I only found it recently. Somebody needs to remake that for the current update. I would, but I lack recording software and am short on cash. I also love the fact that it was just free advertising for M83. That little bit of copyright infringement made me spend 20 minutes listening to some of their music.

I feel like Xacktar and Whackjob both somewhat fit the role of Jeb.

They had Alan Bean. He was quiet for most of the mission. When he wasn't, he would either pull off an epic win (finding the SCE To Aux switch) or fail incredibly hard (frying the TV camera by pointing it at the sun, leaving rolls of film behind on the moon, getting a concussion after surviving a trip to the moon when a camera fell on his head on splashdown.)

I love this. I get the sense that Pete Conrad was a total ham, not least of all because of his first words on the Moon:D

I made a stock submarine with adjustable ballast! Here are some pics. Yes, the resemblance to the bathyscaphe Trieste is on purpose.

How's the armor? Everything I've heard is that missiles are now too advanced for armor to stop.

They're adorable:D Will these be your new mainstays?

As long as they aren't touching the Great Lakes... (Some people here in Michigan are convinced the rest of the country wants nothing more than to drain "our" lakes, ignoring the logistics involved in moving that much water across the country. Although, compared to this idea, the Lakes would be easier.)

KM are my initials, and Mango is both my favorite fruit and the name of one of my cats (orange and fuzzy). I am terrible at coming up with usernames, as they all sound either stupid or too serious to me. I use this for many accounts to avoid having to be creative. I came up with it a few years ago by literally looking around the room and slapping my initials on the first non-stupid sounding object I saw, which happened to be the aforementioned cat.

I have a theory: Perhaps some event-the discovery of other planets, the first rocket launch by your space program-created a fascination with space travel across Kerbin. Rich Kerbals, or groups of enthusiasts, buy rocket parts with little understanding of design or flight rules. They attempt to go to space themselves, most often exploding into shrapnel on launch, then just adding more and more power until they reach orbit. Maybe they press the wrong button and decouple their return stage, or run out of fuel/power, realize they don't have a parachute or a heatshield, or just flat out explode. The company they bought from, not wanting their clients to die, pays you to bring them back. Basically, the same events that usually lead to a rescue mission for one of our Kerbonauts, minus the pay.

Quick question: I am trying to change the name of the central black hole. How would I go about this?

Never considered that, I would think those factors aren't powerful enough to explain what we've observed.

I'm saying he isn't just throwing random words together, even if he is just messing with us. Or maybe he was, and was just very lucky:P My god, this is the most advanced trolling ever. Throw some gibberish at us, and let us derail the thread debating it. Either way, back on topic!
