I suppose that change would work for any new visitors...though it's still front and center.
Occam's razor, Dan...you are fighting the simplest and best solution for your commerical product.
Phinehas, do you realize that not everyone is as capitalist and as much money craving machine as you are? Occam's razor didn't work for light, and it didn't work for black holes, so it most likely does not work except for very simple things such as choosing the lowest price in a store. And even that may not work, as sales may change as you are purchasing an item.
...and you will then continue to lose potential customers and not have a vibrant community as every other software product I have ever owned currently does.
...Who on earth will check the forum of a product as the first thing they do, specifically clicking on the Everything Else board, in this case, that has no relevance to them whatsoever, since they are only looking for reviews and what people have done with the product?
If a vibrant community is people coming on once a month to get information about updates, or post a system once every couple months, let me know. This game would nearly cease to exist outside of Steam.
That would only be relevant if I were actually talking to mentally retared people. It's a word that aptly describes the behaviour here.
If you are calling everyone that will post at the Everything Else board, including the only mod, every person that actually raised interest in Universe Sandbox, and also the only person that still makes systems and textures actively, retarded, then I must know if all people with an IQ under 115, (approximately 3/4 of people) are mentally retarded.
Why don't you just get rid of Everything Else? Can you even give me one logical reason to keep it and allow it to be in it's current state? Do you actually think that if you lose the six people that rely on it to survive another day, that nobody will be here? You will gain more people than you would lose....you however are never going to find that out. Your loss.
Refer to what I said before on the first two sentences; you made grammatical errors in the first two sentences.
If the eight people that use the forum regularly leave, then he will lose quite a bit of revenue from possible customers, as well as the fact that very few (≤0.1%) of people will check its forum first before buying it. Some people may also join without even having it (Me originally, as well as Supernova), and just sign up for the community.
Overall, phinehas, Dan does not only care about the money, but also about the community, which you seem to not care about the latter at all.
