It will be opened again as soon as the Forum-Plugin is installed, wich automatically deletes every post wich has "balance" in it's topic <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

It's being debated if and how the Discussion forums are going to be reopened. There WILL be an answer, but that doesn't mean that the Discussion forums will return. They might, they mightn't.

Path

I personally would like the S&I forums to re-open, just to get all the hare-brained balance suggestions out of the General Disscussion forum. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> I'd assume the forum moderators are sick and tired of locking such pointless threads.
Ah well,

The S&I forum will open eventually. When, i'm not sure.

The discussion forum's fate is not yet decided, AFAIK the moderators had decided to have a meeting and decide what to do with it. Not sure when that is to take place, or if it's already happened.

Does it matter? chances are most of the suggestion are being ignored

This is highly untrue, at least for NS. Its just that I'd rather all the idiots spam at the S&I forums. I swear, admins must be saints, or at least psychos for asking for this much abuse.
I've seen plenty of awesome ideas in the S&I forum (and would you believe THEY ARE NOT ABOUT BALANCE?!) and even some that made it into the game.
I think the S&I will be open soon, dunno about the discussions one though.

Never. Here's an answer to all your S&Is

"If would be cool if we had...."

OMG Do you donate? The dev team spent so much time and effort on this game and you aren't happy with it!?? GEt REAL Your suggestion is sooo unrealistic and would completely throw off the balance of the game. A non-volumetric flamethrower that for all intents and purposes acts like a real flamethrower is grossly unrealistic and well, just plain stupid. It only works beautifully in other games... what dumb unfounded assumptions would lead you believe it would work here?? Next!

"We should help the {marines|aliens} by changing..."

WHaT!!? And throw off the <b>PERFECT BALANCE</b> which is like a scale with a fat lady sitting on the marine side eating a double quater pounder with each beta patch?? GL Spam prolonging the game by hours is <b>BY DESIGN</b>. No change needed there! In fact, the marines need a buff. Learn to use TEAM WORK n00b.... unless you're marine. Then Learn to use TURRETS........... n00b.

The S&I forums have been home to many many many many bad ideas.

However, the independent hive evolutions emerged from there, moving acid rocket to hive 3 emerged from there, and undoubtedly a few other nifty ideas that I've forgotten about over time.

Sometimes S&I is whining about balance and such.

However, closing S&I only makes those many many many many bad ideas spill out into general, which has been happening of late anyway.

S&I does have it's problems but it does contain a lot of the junk.
