It certainly looks like it, seems there's a few dozen servers in the same boat. Someone's come up with an anti-spam solution here, might be worth considering until the platform has had time to deal with this officially?

I expect the official response to be: ๐Ÿ’ฉ

The old style forums were great, but popular threads were pretty horrible to try and navigate. I'm sure we've all fallen victim to searching for important information in a forum thread with 750 pages. The Reddit-style collapsing comment tree is so much more manageable and allows for natural subtopics and conversion tangents to take place without derailing everyone else's discussion.

It reminds me of Dwarf Fortress in that it weeds out all but the most hardcore gamers in the first few minutes of gameplay.

I got very addicted to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead for a while... so much so that I ported it to Android so I could play on my commute to work.

Absolutely, but again Australia are weirdos in this regard. Our rental leases are 12 months as standard. In Europe it's common to have longer leases, like 10-15 years. Plus we have hardly any public housing (a quick google tells me 2.5% of all dwellings in Victoria) versus anywhere from 3-34% for Europe (depending on which country you're looking at). Conditions for renters would be so much better with these issues addressed.

I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but you can definitely have multiple accounts on different instances to get around any limitations.

Us aussies are such weirdos about property. We're one of the few countries in the world that auction property as a standard form of sale. Property is so deeply engrained in our cultural values and identity that I can't see anything changing for at least a generation or two, even if those generations can't afford it. The aussie dream of home ownership won't die quietly.

Perhaps we can start self-regulating paying taxes, according to the government it's an efficient strategy to remove unnecessary red tape.

Anyone else remember the days of ICQ where your username was a number that counted up from the first user at 1? If you had sub-six digits you were basically a celebrity.

Look at what happened with Google Chrome and browser standards. We don't want a company that dominates the landscape changing the rules in their favour.
