I don't visit The Other Place that often because I've already settled here and aren't interested in discussing fandom stuff really. I use the forum to announce tournaments and similar stuff, and from what I gather there are more net players on this forum.

Sharing is good.

I don't visit it because most of the time, the news just doesn't interest me, and I've already read the interesting stuff in the site. I suppose I would take a look at it if I was a member of the SCDB, but I'm not, so I never really come across the news.

This is what I figure most people will answer. If you're already established here, your main interest is the game and not the surrounding stuff, why would you need more than one off topic and General Discussion section? I appreciate the answer, it confirms what I was sort of thinking. Stil interested in how many people liek this there are around. If nothing else, al lot of those people should be interested in NetMelee. I wouldn't discount the SCDB folks totally when it comes to NetMelee, some people like fluffy do seem to take part.

Not much to add except that the site is updated every so often, so it might be worth your while to check back every now and then. We did add the new ship sections a few weeks back and the music page and whatnot are updated every once in a while.
Anyway, I appreciate the answers. Any more takers?

Well, I like it how there's not that much activity in here (because, being obsessive, I'm forced to read each and every message  ).
Also, as you know, Luki, I like the fact that the default theme here is dark.  (In fact, this is the reason I go directly to star-control.com when I see a PNF update on RSS - I seek the darkness. Mmm! Oh, BTW: no, the image does not show up on RSS. Not on PNF's front page either. Had to suffer the brightness for a bit to see it. Oh wow, I'm still within parentheses. Better close them now.)

I don't know what you're talking about, so I only visit this place.
I'm talking about the Pages of Now and Forever, the biggest fan site I know of. It contains some interesting stuff and links to a lot of other places. It's also home of the Star Control Discussion Board, a forum with a somewhat more active (but still smaller I think) userbase than UQMF has. Some of the really interesting SC stuff will eventually always turn up here, but some things such as the weekly webcomic That Ur-Quan Master only gets posted here once, so it's easy to miss unless you trawl the archives.
See, this is interesting. I'm curious as to how many people found the game, then this site, and then never realised there was anything else out there.
Well, I like it how there's not that much activity in here (because, being obsessive, I'm forced to read each and every message ).
So what you're saying is that if UQMF grows more active (when the devs release a new version for example), you'll have to either leave or stay on the foum long enough to read every message? I feel for you. I do read pretty much every message both here and on the SCDB though, so there aren't that many. Or at least I skim.
Also, as you know, Luki, I like the fact that the default theme here is dark. (In fact, this is the reason I go directly to star-control.com when I see a PNF update on RSS - I seek the darkness. Mmm! Oh, BTW: no, the image does not show up on RSS. Not on PNF's front page either. Had to suffer the brightness for a bit to see it. Oh wow, I'm still within parentheses. Better close them now.)
Heh. A dark theme is coming, but it'll be a while still. It should have been here already, but we got sidetracked with trying to integrate the old forums posts into the new one. I'm guessing the image doesn't work because I've hosted it on the forum, otherwise it should at least show up on the frobnt page. I'l ltry fixing it after the weekend to see how that works.

Good stuff Luki... Had a long read and a long laugh.
No one told me that Tsing had some usable models posted to your site.
So far giving the Shofixti a thumbs up.... with you ask Tsing to contact me?

Thanks!

Really? I honestly had no idea. 
Amiga Nut: I told you I was putting up loads of models when I was trying to get yours as well. Let's cut a deal, reply to your emails on the subject, hand over some models, data and pictures and I'll give you a glowing reference.
Or you could just PM Tsing, that'd probably work too but make me sad. 
Valos Cor: Thanks for your description of how you found the game, I appreciate it. It's especially interesting that you found the Wiki from the main page, but not the PNF. Still, if one is only interested in the game and not the comics, fan music and what not then it's not that big a loss.
Regarding the interview, you seem to have gotten confused though. Paul isn't interviewing the PNF, a PNF representative (or me if we want to be less formal) interviewed him about their new game. The interview is on the front page.

Well, I went to the Other Place, wrote half a reply, deleted it. I don't have anything to say! :<

I vist both UQMF and SCDB and read the news regularly. In fact I was going to comment on the interview a while back, but decided against it.
Take your interview, trim out the "fluff" and only keep the Q&A.. What do you have left? There was nothing wrong with your questions and in no way could I have done it better, however, I was dissapointed in Paul's answers and found litte (if any) substance. Thus the entire episode seemed virtually pointless. His excuses for not meeting with you prior to the interview seemed a bit weak as well.
