Racism against Mexicans is definitely an issue. I see it all the time. Homophobia is probably the biggest around here, though, but in any place with a large population of migrant workers, there is racism against those workers.

Moderation accomplishes naught but stagnation. Positive change is largely spurred on by those who are radical for their time.

I can only think of one flaw with open sourcing the editor. Someone could change the editor so that it doesnt bother asking about the password for passworded scenarios. Of course, being open source and all, someone could make more ways to protect your scenario, but its something to think about.
This was possible with a bit of hacking and the BoE editor. BoE scenario passwording is absurdly insecure, and any system where one has both the protected data and a local method to access it will be broken eventually.

Oh, I understood what you were saying. I was just saying that you should make Blades of Exile open source as well or instead.

I'm talking about this topic. I hadn't seen anything on the boards about him being a furry until this thread.

EDIT: I'm sorry you're illiterate.

Because you are the only person, so far, to have posted any topic on these boards mentioning bisexual furries or whatever.

The mods cannot and should not do anything about activity outside the boards.

VWM: I'm not harassing him. There's a difference between harassing someone and saying mean things behind his back. And anything I've said about good man MSW have been strictly factual.

Making the editor open-source would be an extremely good move. From my experimentation with BoE and the observations of others, many major flaws in BoE were focused in the editor.

However, I think that if you're going to make any of your software open-source, your best choice would be Blades of Exile. Think of the advantages.

1) The issues that BoE currently has would finally be resolved.
You see, not everybody is going to expect BoA to replace BoE. I, personally, prefer Exile to Avernum. I like 2D better than psuedo-3D. Many excellent scenarios have been developed for BoE, and will probably never be moved over to BoA.
BoE currently has many unresolved bugs. These grate on the community to no end.
2) It's old software. I doubt that any of its code is of great monetary value to you by now; as far as I can tell, your new games barely if at all derive from the Blades of Exile code base.
If you're worried about people stealing your code, I suppose you could use a restrictive license that forbids commercial reproduction. That's not technically open source, but if you must...
3) It would generate a whole load of good will.
You see, a lot of us are still rather peeved over Spiderweb's continuing refusal to fix BoE's obvious and glaring bugs. Given access to the source, the community can and will fix these bugs. And they will thank you. For example, I personally was not planning on purchasing Blades of Avernum. However, if you open BoE's source, I will purchase it. It's a small profit, but the small ones accumulate.

In the long run, opening the source of BoE will generate great profit for Spiderweb Software, both in goodwill and continuing sales. You have a scrupulous and understanding community. If they were not willing to pay for your software, they would not. The small number of people who warez BoE will do this whether or not the source is open.

A few points: Yes, chickens do have eggs anyway, but the conditions in which most chickens are kept for egg-laying and eating are atrocious.
Plants are not generally considered to be sentient.

And why should it be cheap to be a vegetarian if you can't consume legumes? What about the lactose intolerant?

And cows are not as stupid as you may think. I've known a few. There is some speculation in those eyes.

The Way.

47. Knowing
Without taking a step outdoors
You know the whole world;
Without taking a peep out the window
You know the colour of the sky.

The more you experience,
The less you know.
The sage wanders without knowing,
Looks without seeing,
Accomplishes without acting.

48. Inaction
The follower of knowledge learns as much as he can every day;
The follower of the Way forgets as much as he can every day.

By attrition he reaches a state of inaction
Wherein he does nothing, but nothing remains undone.

To conquer the world, accomplish nothing;
If you must accomplish something,
The world remains beyond conquest.

GCC is a hassle of readin things I don't understand and installing other things I don't know about. Dev-C++ doesn't comply with the ANSI C++ standards and thus does not work.
I need a free, easy to install, legal, Windows compiler that works. Are there any in existance? It doesn't need to have the ability to make 3-D graphics or anything. I'm still having trouble getting "Hello World!" to work correctly.

There is not a compiler in existence that complies completely with ANSI C++. Sorry.

And GCC is essentially the standard on MacOS now, since it's the compiler that comes by default. Not to mention it's used to compile the OS itself.

Lazy flies all hovering above, the magistrate puts on his gloves
And he looks to the clouds all pink and disheveled
There must be some blueprint, some creed of the devil inscribed in our minds
A hideous game vanishes in the air, the vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there to sweep the debris?
To harness dead horses, to ride in the sun
A life of confessions written in the dust

Out in the mangroves, the myna birds cry
In the shadows of sulphur, the trawlers drift by
They're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute
The dust of opiates and syphillis patients on brochure vacations
Fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights
The puritans stare, their souls are flourescent
The skin of a robot vibrates with pleasure
Matrons and gigolos carouse in the parlor
Their hand-grenade eyes invalid and blind

A hideous game vanishes in thin air, the vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there to sweep the debris?
To harness dead horses, to ride in the sun
A life of confessions written in the dust
