Well, I was just Anonymous and unable to post for about 30 minutes or
so. I browsed the new pages of the Ask A Dev thread, and by the
time I got to the end it had magically fixed itself.
Seriously, WTH is up with these forums? Is it even possible for
software to be THIS buggy unintentionally? This has to be
sabotage or something I swear....
Honestly, how is it possible that we've had this crap going on for this
long and we don't even have a friggin' edit button? I mean,
fansites have working forums, but the official site can't get its act
together over a period of months?! It's not rocket science
here. These are simple things that we want. They are
possible, other games - even hobby bloggers can get this working, why
can't we?
I really want to know what the problem is, and I think the community
deserves an explanation. We aren't looking for bells and
whistles, or even pomp and circumstance, just some basic freakin'
forums that don't eat posts, and let you edit your stupid spelling
mistakes. It would also be nice if the censor wasn't run by a
kindergarten teacher, but now I'm reaching.
I really feel for you Jury, because all of this crap makes your job
that much harder, but I have to ask you, where is the
accountability? This is a SNAFU bordering on the
incomprehensible, yet nobody has stepped up to say "my bad", or even
attempt to fix the situation.
What can I do as a consumer short of quitting? I love this
universe and this community, and I don't want to leave it, but this
ridiculous excuse for a forum reminds me on a daily basis of the "eh,
its good enough for you chumps" treatment that this game and its
subscribers receive. It hurts, and it hurts even more to pay to
be treated like dirt.

***EDIT***
I'm flashing in and out of Anonymous status. I actually lost this post the first time I tried to put it up because I became Anonymous in the space of time it took me to write it. Luckily, I have enough experience with these dog-vomit forums that I copied my post before trying to send it, and I got it back. I was off Anonymous long enough to hit post reply again, lets see if it will actually let me post now.
***EDIT***
Third attempt. I actually came out of Anonymous just in time to have the thread I originally wanted to post this to get locked under me.
*sigh*
So here we go! New thread! I'm not trying to start a bitchfest here, I just want one intelligent response explaning to me how a multi-billion dollar corporation can get something SO simple, SO wrong. I'm just SO done with this crap. It should not be this hard to communicate.
