Maybe I'm wrong, but the way I read it, Rule <6> does not specifically state that non-WC based threads are forbidden - only that they are "not the best idea" and to proceed with caution (i.e. Rule <8> comes into play). I would also like to point out that there often seems to be a collective moan from the veterans whenever a weathered WC topic (Blair's death, the WCM, Privateer II, etc) comes up. And at some point in the future, even the WC afterburner color (red or blue IIRC) will be an old topic so maybe a few deviations here and there might not be so bad.Originally posted by Valor NR
6) Talking about other subjects, even other space combat games, that are not directly related to WC is not the best idea. Proceed with caution.
If its not a WC based thread then it doesnt belong here
Then you mean completely unrelated.Originally posted by Lelapinmechant
In a somewhat-but-not-really related topic...

I'll wait for LOAF's, but judging from the posts, it doesn't look like it resembles any particular theme.Originally posted by Mav23
Is it just me (I'm pretty sure it is) or does the [Amiga] WC intro sound a lot like the Star Trek theme?

It sounds like a typical scifi theme to me...

You have it ass-backwards. John William's Star Wars theme is a brassy, louder and note-by-note rip-off of Erik Wolfgang Korngold's 1940s drama "King's Row".

Also, I'd make sure the posts were arranged first to last, like every other BB in the world.
No, I just use the 'last page' button..... a handy feature indeed. And I really hate having to scroll down a long post, then scroll up to find the following post. Maybe if I come from Japan or read a lot of mangas I'd be used to reading bottom to top, but I'm not.Originally posted by WildWeasel
That's a great idea. I mean...don't you love it when you're following a multi-page thread and you have to flip through a bunch of pages that you've already read and scroll way the hell down to the bottom of the last page just to see the latest posts?
