Oolite Bulletins

Sent my 1st message from Deep Space hours ago. Has it got lost in Witchspace or have the Thargoids overrun the comms room And here was I so amazed with how things have improved in the 21st century from my day

Hi and welcome. Sorry about the delay in getting your posts up; we are running on a first post moderator approval rule for anti-spam reasons. All your posts are now up and any new posts will not require further approvals.

G'day and welcome aboard, Commander Uzi!

Do new members get a message explaining that little detail when they join? If not, it may be a good idea to send them one.

No it didn't but I knew what the issue was as I run my own forum. First posts are always moderated.

Not on the forum I moderate, they're not..

But then, we have much more efficient pre-signup-approval checking systems in place than the Oolite BB does. 95% of the spammers are caught by the automated checking scripts.. the few who manage to fool those get inspected by an Admin before login permission is given. To date, over five thousand spammers have tried, but not one has ever made it through the front door..

My anti spam works a treat but I moderate 1st posts to cut out advertisers more than anything. Alls good here, off & running (with bugger all to shoot with I have little choice ) trying to make a credit where I can

No worries.. won't be too long before your Cobby is kitted up..

Out of curiosity, how did you manage to find Oolite?

Hey Commander Uzi,

Welcome aboard, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Greetz,
Onno.

Hi Uzi, and welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat.

Yeah the credits are racking up.

I have been playing the awesome 'Sins of a Solar Empire' for ages & keep looking for something as good. Played Nexus but just didn't grab me, so in my search for something I looked at Space Sims on Google & on a forum someone mentioned Oolite & as with other recommends I had a look......WAIT A COTTON PICKING MINUTE.......ELITE REBORN

Then I'm guessing perhaps you came across Space Sim Central in your travels?

Speaking of waitaminute.. I just noticed your location..

Cebu? Kewl!

You could try Nottingham! It's the coldest, dampest, gloomiest place in the entire Ooniverse.
