Just a minor annoyance - could you make it so the development thread doesn't show there are new posts when you can't view them? I know I'm nitpicking now

Expensive copies are worth a lot if you sell them, but are as far as I know useless otherwise.

Hurray for databases. As we are still programming in BlueJ (curses) I'm still afraid of SQL, but good luck to you, and May Your Code Be Stylish. Also, the scenario developer sounds both fucking hard and fucking awesome. Do it.

Charming monsters.

I couldn't agree more.

I see no harm at all in allowing every member to see the forum, and, indeed, it would make us happy Also, making it visible would allow people that are curious to just statisfy that curiosity, while they won't need to be 'developer'. The danger exists that people would enlist themselves as developer just to see the progress (and possibly whine about it). Allowing the board to be seen by either everyone, or a 'spectator' group, would solve that problem.

Permanent, whether trough equipement or state, is blue, I think.

Honestly, I don't think I can be of use

I would like to see what you guys are doing... However, I have no applicable skils beyond using paint and a basic grasp of programming. When school is over, I'll try reading some of the IVAN code.

I don't think invisibility does. It would make more sense that it lowers the accuracy of enemies trying to hit you, rather than raising your own.

Pagerank depends on two things: how many links link to us, and the pagerank of those that link to us. Saying IVAN a lot won't help that much, exchanging links with other sites will.
