Gryphin, sounds like a good idea.

How would it work in practice?

You also say:

I read the forums with a database open designed to take notes on various aspects of the game.

Good idea! Never thought of it! So obvious!

Don't know if you want to use this one but... OT: Off Topic

[Ragnarok]

"SEX = The highly anticipated Tenth game in the Space Empires Series."

I can see this one. Someone will make a site dedicated to this tenth Version of SE and have a .org domain name. Thus it would be, "www.SE-X.org"... some idiot would then add a Y to the end of that just for kicks.

You have to start a new thread.

OK maybe we can put a link to the Poll. Anybody know how to do this?

The form of the poll I am considering is:

POLL
===============================
What form should the acronym dictionary take?

1) the form it now has

2) include only the most commonly used acronyms - delete acronyms not in common use such as MM's "TL = Large Troops, Hull"
================================
Any discussion on this?

I would love to take a peek at your database.

[Gryphin]

Two ways to have the page open while reading the forums
1) copy and paste the data into a program you have
2) Click on a link to the page from inside the forum

The tab delimeted text file allows someone to import it to many different programs.

I don't know if anyone else uses this, but I usually refer to a Gas Giant as a GG. The G's were looking a little empty.

and of course B5 would be Babylon 5 as in the B5Mod (blatant plug)
