Why Don't I Post At Spaceempires5.com

That may be the source of your problem. Within a few weeks of opening, they had a major database crash. Almost everyone had to create a new account from scratch.

It's still the worst BBS software I've ever encountered, though.

I don't post much there for the same reason I don't post much here: I haven't got all that much to say. Plus, I still don't own a computer that can run SE V. The SE IV forum over there is pretty barren.

Not the case, both the name Atrocities and my email address have been used. So I am registered. My password is no good and their system seems to be incapable of sending me a new one.

However, this latest attempt has proven succesful. I have a new password and can now log on to spaceeempires5.com

I really wish they would have gone with a better forum program.

The "titles on every post" thing is what bugs me. It makes it impossible to just scan the front page for interesting topics. Yes, I'm lazy.

The forum over there reminds me of a badly formatted blog site.

No, you're spot on. The title per post means there's a list of recent forum posts which looks like there's a lively discussion going on but are actually 3 or 4 comments on the same thread. There is probably a good reason for choosing the forum software and I bet it has to do with ease of deleting threads they don't like. And I don't mean personal attacks (you big baby. Would be an example of just such an attack. Wimp. Would be another.) I mean threads attacking SFI. Not that there haven't been any but obviously not enough for it to matter. Or they don't care enough to look. Hey, you think there's another solid reason to use this forum software then let me know.

Well it matters not what we think, people like the site and post there so more power to them. They simply don't know what they are missing, as ignorence is often bliss.
