We've got lots of programmers/developers who still play this game (myself included)... couldn't we just move this to like a bugzilla or trac public project and have people help wade through this for you or mark priorities? I never really understood the point of hiding every post either. If the forum software sucks... there's about ten million options out there that are better.

The even more crazy option would be to just post a file and say "fix this bug" and let people fix it. Kind of like how Netflix has a contest to improve their search engine... maybe post that thousands of line damage function and let us fix it so its not a pile of crap. Problem is someone would probably be paranoid about stealing the code or knowing the inner workings...

Just sucks you've got all this crap to deal with, and you're one of maybe two or three people total who would fix it (and probably code all the other awesome new things) when there's a whole lot of us on the other side.

Sucks too that you've got to basically decide if you want to play the game or not, never got why Immortal apps can't have mortals and have to write descriptions/area code when someone just might be a good coder.
