  1. I'm not sure exactly who was the first moderator (though I can see some of the earliest ones). Some of them are still around. I'm not pinging them for their own privacy, but if they want to chime in they're welcome to.
  2. Dman979 --> my-huh-verr-curr-ahh-ffft-eees-fuh-ul-offf-eeeeeeeells.
  3. You should still be able to edit them to show the most important parts. The height limit is 160 pixels, IIRC.
  4. 46 bottles of beer on the wall, 46 bottles of beer, Take one down, pass it around, 45 bottles of beer on the wall.
  5. A Møøse once bit my sister.
  6. The ranks were the cause of the rockets on people's profiles. Ranks have been a part of this forum for as far back as I can remember, but it was a choice between keeping the ranks or removing the rocket pictures. Given the feedback we got, we chose the latter option. I'm hopeful that we'll find a way to re-add the ranks in a future update without the rockets. It's actually an unborking- signatures were never supposed to be scrollable, but we were able to restore their previous functionality in this round of updates.
  7. Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
  8. Two enter. Only one can win. Fight! (Don't actually fight )
  9. Big company with big income and big legal department has big CYA incentive in case something goes big wrong. 1. You're 18, or are 16 with a parent's consent. 2. You agree to participate in the survey under the conditions listed below. 3. You will give feedback about aspects of KSP. 4. The feedback becomes property of Big Company immediately. 5. If local laws prohibit the feedback from becoming property of Big Company immediately, then the feedback is your property. Since it is your property, you agree to give ownership of the feedback to Big Company. 6. If local laws prohibit you from giving Big Company ownership of the feedback, then you allow Big Company to use the feedback in any way that Big Company wants.1| 7. If you allow Big Company to use the feedback in any way that Big Company wants, then you waive any residual rights to control of the feedback. 8. If local laws prohibit you from waiving residual rights, then you agree to use the rights reasonably and not to harm the Big Company. 9. The Big Company can use or modify the feedback if it wants to, but it doesn't have to do either of those things. 10. You don't get to control how the feedback is used, and you don't get public credit for it. 11. If the Big Company makes any money from using the feedback, then you don't get any. 12. You don't have other commitments that would keep you from agreeing to the agreement. 13. Big Company doesn't need anyone else's permission to use the feedback. 14. You agree not to sue Big Company about the feedback. 15. You agree that you're able to agree to the agreement. 16. If you break the agreement, then the Big Company would get hurt badly. 17. The agreement can't be undone. 18. The agreement will be viewed in the best possible way for Big Company. 19. There's no other parts to the agreement besides the stuff listed in it. 20. New York State laws will control the agreement. 21. The agreement starts when you accept the agreement. I am not an employee of Big Company nor am I a lawyer, and my explanation is worth what you paid for it. What I wrote above is hugely simplified, and lacks a lot of the nuance in the original language. Attorneys get paid to write and interpret highly technical documents where words have specific meanings that can be different from their common usage. They also get paid not to make mistakes that would hurt their clients. In a situation like this, I'm sure that the writing could be made easier to understand but (if you're an attorney) then the legalese version was the quickest way to write a simple agreement that covered all the bases. That's your prerogative, I suppose. 1This sets out the terms of a license. You might already be familiar with how licenses work from using or creating a mod.
  10. Yeah. It reads scary because of Legal Reasons, but it's basically saying that you are old enough to take the survey, that you're taking it of your own free will, and that you'll allow them to use your responses as they see fit. (I am not a lawyer, so my free advice is worth what you paid for it.)
  11. Will it come with a conversion to metric? Regulations specify a 18.4404 m distance from the launcher to the plate.
  12. Moved to Spacecraft Exchange. You need a bit of an upward angle on the swing, otherwise you're just going to keep hitting ground balls.
  13. Nice avatar!

  14. Hey, @Jaredgross1996! I believe the ground anchors were held back a patch because of some bugs. I'm not 100% about that, though. If you look in the Daily Kerbal, you might find some information there?
  15. Granted. Your phone gets stolen because the "it" in your wish refers to the Lego set, not the phone. I wish for a properly cooked, ordinary Russet potato that has already been hand-delivered from Idaho, USA.
  16. Granted. It kills your potatoes, too. I wish for a ordinary Russet potato that has already been hand-delivered from Idaho, USA.
  17. Granted. Souptime never gets 1,000 reputation, so neither do you. I wish for a normal Russet potato that must come from Idaho, USA.
  18. That's going to take some fixing.
  19. Granted, I wish for a normal Russet potato from Idaho, USA. I wish for a normal Russet potato from Idaho, USA.
