I'd like to be able to see online how many activations there are of your key, or something similar.

I know everyone hates the securom protection and everything, but it's fine as long as you don't install too many times.

I've had to re-format my drive quite a few times since I bought Spore (not sure how many) and I've upgraded my edition of Vista, each time re-installing Spore, and I'm just dreading the day when it says my Spore key isn't valid any more.

If people knew how many they had left, and were able to report to EA that the last activation was for a particular reason, EA could have keep correspondence with the Consumer so the activation reset wouldn't be so much trouble when it comes around, or people could reset at the 5th installation, saving frustration when they realise at their 6th that they can't play without dealing with EA.

It wouldn't have to be linked to account, just the key, so if someone took your account information, they couldn't steal the key aswell.

What happened to info on archetypes in creature and tribal stage (stat requirements for rogues, epics, etc.)? It was among the most useful bits of info on the site, now its gone (along with the sporecast tutorial)

You can find it at http://www.spore.com/comm/tutorials/archetypes

The page is orphaned. I only have the link because it's still in my browsing history.

I'm still waiting for the rest of the archetypes to come out like they said would.

Here's a small thing, when I'm writing something on a post, press enter a couple of times to leave a blank line and press the quote or code button, the cursor goes up a line. That's minor but it kind of annoys me.

You must be using Chrome or an old or a third-party browser. Use Firefox 3 or Internet Explorer 8. Chrome doesn't work well in forums.

Yeah, that must be it.

Chrome actually isn't supported for viewing the Sporums or Spore.com, but I use it regularly and haven't had any issues. You might want to check to make sure it's updated. Chrome 2 was just released.

It occured to me the other day that if a group of people constantly spammed any other forum with offensive religious spam, it wouldn't be tolerated for long.

The obvious follow up thought is why is this then allowed in specifically the Science Forum?

Not only is it allowed, it seems almost sponsored by the moderators as the only ones ever getting warnings by the moderators are those that oppose this and give voice to all of us who are insulted, disgusted and affronted by this vile filth.

I can well understand that one wants to have a free and tolerant climate in these Forums, and keep moderator intervention to a minimum, but I do think that there are a few things out of line here:

The Science Forum is obviously destroyed by these offensive secterists. And quite possibly intentionally so. Isn't that enough for a sweeping moderator intervention?

Creationism is obviously not science, never has been and never will be, so why is it allowed in the Science Forum in the first place?

Religion by itself is by it's very nature highly insulting, offensive against rational, intelligent beings. I won't currently go into the number of people that have been tortured, burned, murdered all over the world throughout history by these secterists, for no other purpose than enforcing their vile lies, but I might later. The point now is just this: Why is EA/Spore bending over so much and lubing up for the religious right? Do you think they are the only ones that can be offended? Or do you think they represent a greater economoc/political power factor?

Vermil, the purpose of this thread is not for you to register complaints about the belief systems of other users on this forum. Your post is highly inappropriate and in the future, please consider what you are posting and our forum guidelines prior to doing so.

• Be respectful when posting about religious, political, or otherwise controversial content

In case you haven't noticed, with the exception of a single thread, all evolution vs. creationism threads have been trimmed from the science section.

None of the moderators on this board are biased toward a particular group of users and to accuse any of us of being so indicates that you have not spent as much time actually reading posts as you claim to have.

We need Proper themed Tails for CC! And we want it in a free patch! or atleast a parts pack under 7.99 =3

Lol...name a price and it won't sell for any less... You do have a good point, that tails aren't featured at all in Spore.

You guys should add a forum completly to nothing about Spore.

I think it's good that the Spore profile pages are more tidy after the maintenance, and that Sporecasts have been made viewable directly from the profile page. However, I think the newest creations boxes should be slightly bigger, or there should be more of them, especially on public view.

Also, when my personal profile page is loading, the "You have unapproved comments" string is displayed, no matter if I have new comments or not. It disappears when the page has finished loading (if I don't have any new ones). This can be confusing.

Sporepedia ratings system is NOT WORKING...at least half the time I hit thumbs up on someone else's creation, the rating doesn't change, but it still shows me as having rated it

I noticed this too. I even rated up one that was blue and it became yellow.

Another thing is, the comments I got and approved after the maintenance are not showing up when viewing the commented creature.
