Apologies on the tardiness of this issue, though it is still Sunday for another hour here! As I sat down for this week I thought it would be hard to scrounge around and find topics, but this week has really been an action-packed and feature-filled week, regardless of the closure of the ORGy awards and the lack of pink here. There was too much to fit in a post, seriously! It just goes to show that, yes, rmxp.org is dead. But hbgames.org is more alive than rmxp ever was!
First, I draw your attention to the Introductions forum.
Please welcome... (back)

An interesting discussion has opened on the prospect of a Guy/Girl ratio in gaming. Does it matter? What should the ratio be, if any? Join the discussion.

A thread has opened on Platform Studio. It seems a lot like Indie Game Maker.

The sketches thread has gone really well so far, and I personally really like Trebor777's sketch in it.

The poetry contest has ended, and judging is in progress! The results will be in the next TWODO if you miss them! Quite a good turnout as contests go. Be sure to read Venetia's.

Star Ruler, while only just posted and a first game, looks incredible. Made with Irrlicht, it's a space type dealie. It's not made in RM, which immediately works in it's favour, and shows the diversity the forums now ensue!

Theory has made a patch, that could be used for RMXP, that will resize the text box for more lines / wider spread. It's really good :thumb:

Forum maintenance
So. The tech genies worked some magic and now you don't have to click annoying "you just did something!" screens. Good good.
THE SYMPOSIUM
Feature of the week has to be The Symposium.
Always copied in other RM sites fr it's sheer versatility, The Symposium is the place to go for more mature discussion and debating. Get your serious hat on and be ready to fght for your beliefs.
A contest was launched:

...and, as such, the forum has been hit with some good new topics. It's no longer just religion and sex! (Well, not completely, honest!)
Baconator wants to know... is the government watching us too closely? Are they invading our privacy for larger goals?
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66556
Is Global Warming as bad as the authorities make out? Should we be doing something about it?
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66553
Should we eat meat?

Silver Wind has started a topic entitled "Everything you wanted to know about religion". It started off well but has ended up as yet another religion topic... I urge you to turn that around and bring it back to it's Q&A session type beginning, which would have made it a really good thread.

Finally, I ask: Is Britain being Americanised and savaged by an influx of finger eaters???

Thanks for making this week so special. I came back after having major computer trouble to find the site thriving.
I leave you with the following thought:
