Where'd my "Active Topics" link go?

  So, since the forum now has the auto-moderation feature for the first few postings from new players, may we please have the Active Topics link back again?

  Hey Niv... just copy the links I have on my blog and viola!  That's how I do it...

  I've been typing the link in manually for a while now (or at least appending topicsactive.aspx to the forum URL.)  I was just hoping we could get it back on the main page for the sake of convenience.

  Absolutely. That was the reason it was supposedly removed (didn't save us from spam, anyway), so the link should be put back now. (Along with Active Users.) Now that new forum users are auto-moderated, they won't invade either the Active Links or the Active Users listings.

  Alex, you're working on a Sat night?  What a trooper.

  Perhaps you're multitasking as you're getting glammed up for a venture out to Element Lounge.   I'm sure the brass at WGT has reserved the Akasha Room tonight. ;)

  Dam. Back for 1 day, and already threads are being spammed.

  THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

  We can have them, no problem. It's just that the "duplicate posting" filter apparently is broken right now. The filter for first-time posters seems to be broken again as well, because the poster you mean is a new forum user as of today, yet his posts got published immediately.

  It's great to have some of the former functionality back. That's the way it should stay. But the anti-spam features must be fixed so that they work properly.

  PS: The Active Users overview still has not returned.

  And that's a good thing IMO.

  God.. I SO agree with you Andyson.  The Active Users link was only appreciated by the delusional individuals who thrive on "quantity" of posts. 

  Really, it's not a size contest folks.  We don't have to get the measuring tape out.
