It's because the quote UBB code makes for gigantic, ultra-tacky formatting. It adds some 9 or 10 "lines" of space for a single-line quote. Just look how huge your post 3 down/up is with the quote box. It's so much easier to read when the quote boxes aren't used. :-\ The bolding is because it is really easy to just delete the quote part of the tags added when you click the "quote" link on a post.
Now that makes sense! Still seems tacky but that (most likely) has more to do with me being used to seeing the "quote" box.

As soon as AT figures out the best way to convert .MOD to .X, I can pump out the required files and bmps for the models, if someone will volunteer to put the shipset together...
