I don't think it is a good idea to change the forum url. At least not right now. This board is currently still 99% about godus. Even if I add a section for universim thete is no guarantee that that will become a success. Imagine having a forum about god games that has only a lot of godus and a little bit of universim on it. That would look like a failure. And what if no one else ever makes a god game? What do we do with the forum then? It is better to stay true to our roots right now. I'm a nostalgic person.

Also mindless, to correct you slightly, it was not because of the steam forums that this community was founded but because of the original closed off 22cans forum.

I stand corrected, actually thats not quite right, because I'm sitting down while typing this, so to be more on point, I sit corrected.

In case you missed it, Steam reviews have disappeared from games. No more "Mostly negative" score, to warn potential buyers.

That can't possibly be permanent. So Steam really, truly has gone and lost their effing minds to the evil corporate brainworms?

Guess Valve screwed up something, since they just reappeared. I'll pretend they saw my post and realised their mistake. Small wins

Small wins *Phew* I figured it was probably a mistake, butit had me worriedfor a minute; recent questionable maneuvers by VALVE made it at least marginally plausible. Improbable and unlikely, sure, but not impossible.

Confirmed both statements... phew... could you imagine... no amount of rain-gear would save Valve from that s^&tstorm.
Hopefully this wasn't some sort of pre-run to a beta they're running to allow individual devs to disappear the review section.
Don't imagine it would take 22cans more than a minute or two to make the decision to switch their carefully cultivated bully review section off.

heh. It was almost Mindflayers, but brainworms was more amusing visually.

Does anyone remember Peter Molyneux's email address at 22cans? I want to send him an email, but mysteriously Google is not of much help in this regard.
I thought it was pmolyneux@22cans.com but I'm not sure. Perhaps there was a dot in it.

Or you could ask him on Twitter, not that he has tweeted in a long time either.

I have spent a LOT of work setting up a section for The Universim, so I hope people will like it. I moved the Whatever threads to a new section of their own. (as opposed to being a sub-board they are now a category) Likewise I have made a separate section for the members' sub-boards. All in all a somewhat hefty change. Hope y'all will still find your way.
Some of you may have to update some bookmarks.

I have invited Jesper Grip, who is the Community Manager for The Universim, over for a visit. Hope he'll have a look around. You guys be on your best behaviour now alright?
