    Thread: J'Ta'ush - revision
Post: RE: J'Ta'ush - revision

Just commenting for now to briefly reiterate that I strongly believe we should get rid of the apostrophes. They aren't justified, and they make the name annoying to type, search for, and mentally pron...

    Thread: Aksijaha Wormhole Size Discrepancy
Post: RE: Aksijaha Wormhole Size Discrepancy

The issue, at least as I see it, has nothing to do with who's using them. The issue is a contradiction between the Aksijaha article, and articles about the systems connecting to it, regarding the size...

Post: RE: Removal: Baseline Hyperdependency Syndrome

Banelord and Salty, two of the five co-writers of the Macrystis articles, aren't in the list yet. TSSL and Jay the Tardupod are, though. I think we should remove or at least heavily edit the Stable...

Minor quick-fix errors can go in the other forum. Ones that might deserve a wider audience or discussion are better here. This was an ambiguous case so neither one is really 'wrong'. Steve went ahead ...

The updated Sephirotic Empires topic states that the Great Hexadecimal was developed in the late 4th millennium AT (i.e. no later than 4000 AT). So I wouldn't want to make any Sephirotics be founded l...
