We actually used to run Google ads on the wiki, but (at least in my experience) they never seemed to work properly.

It's been almost three years. Don't you think, just maybe, NCSoft and ArenaNet may have reversed that decision in the intervening time?

Nice to see the source is available for the game; I could probably track down the code that actually reads/writes the save files. I may look at this sometime, but not now - I've got too many other things going on ATM.

I've noticed the same on Jurassic Park Terror, even after upgrading to 3.0.8. There must be a spammer somewhere who's cracked the ReCAPTCHA system somehow. :| Still, it's only a trickle, and as long as you're diligent about blocking the domains used in the accounts' email addresses, you can control ...

You're right, of course, and so is Creatures. I tend to treat simulations as games (and there's plenty of crossover between the two, depending where you look), hence my use of incorrect terminology.

Oh, so there is. Ignore me, I'm just blind and/or inattentive.

Very cool (and the "Crechs!" game sounds a lot like "Creatures"); you should add a link to this page from the "Pages" section of the sidebar.

What, you mean you quit MINECRAFT?! BLASPHEMY!!! =O

It's a good excuse to document the changes you've made anyways, in the event they have to be re-applied in the future for some reason (future upgrades), or if someone wants to apply them to other phpBB installations.

Mr.Mouse, have you looked at Rackspace? I'm not sure how their pricing would compare with the current host/plan, but they claim 100% uptime and Mojang seems to have decided to switch to them for Minecraft...

Nice to meet you; hope you enjoy your stay! =D

It looks like it depends on Javascript being enabled... How does it work if a user has JS disabled or is browsing with non-JS software (screen readers, certain mobile browsers, etc.)?

Impressive!

Aah, makes sense.
