My Apologies to our Hosts

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
I do agree, but like everything in life, is just a matter of adjusting to the new reality, thats all.
As would I, as would I. But the future and Launch beckons... and I would be a part of that. Let's make the most of it. :bow:
Yah....nah....My support is for Hbs.....not paradox. Trust me if I could follow the devs on here without having to have an account I would rather do that, then have anyone think I'm here because of how much I like the forum hosts.
I have no particularly strong feelings either way towards our hosts; however they did effectively give us a home when ours was falling down around our ears. And regardless of the decor, it's got some nifty advantages like the fact I am currently browsing on my iPad, something the old forum wouldn't let me do.
That's... surprisingly apt as a description. The old forums were okay-ish for a small pre-release beta community, but it would have fallen like a Locust hit with an AC/20 in each leg on release of the game. Plus, these forums have a lot of nifty tools we never had and probably would never get. At least from my point of view, this is without question an improvement.
I may not have had any back access on the old site, but if the mods say its was broken I believe you. It happened with an old forum i was a mod on, and became hell to deal with to the extent the whole site went down completely when the equivalent of the bickering thread reached 80 odd pages with custom avatars, picture laden sigs and many, many posts with images.
No, i think that despite the decor, we have a nice little place here and i feel sorry for those missing out because of misguided principle.

Punch cards not so hard to get head around, but what about the 'Rope' computer they used to get to the moon?
Amazing what off and on can accomplish.

Hah, I've had the opportunity to play with a replica Babbage machine, and I've gotten up close with Colossus at Bletchley Park (now that I think about it, a former colleague now works there so I might try and see if I'm allowed to go hands on!)
I wonder if anyone is giving the Turing test to AI's. Wouldnt it be great if a games AI were to achieve 'Sentience' just because someone was thorough enough in the testing.
And I finally got the money to pre-order BTech. Now I need to get into the MW5 Closed Beta test to maintain my unbroken since Mech3 CBT streak.
Ok April its time to be here.

Random chat-bots pass the Turing test on occasion.
The test doesn't actually mean much, it's just a mile marker on the way to better AI.
And, also frequently misunderstood, passing the Turing test doesn't mean that the machine is intelligent, just that it responds in a way that a human can't tell the difference between the machine and a human.
The flaw in the Turing test is the idea that humans are the best judges of reality.
Captcha's are reverse Turing Tests. How many of the stupid picture ones have you failed because a store front didnt look like one?
