    Jordan has recently helped me get a hold of a huge chunk of the posts made on the UFP by the simms players in the past simms. I mean mission posts, personal log posts and lots i've not even had the chance to look through.

    Reading through some of those old posts i'm amazed at the quality of the work that was produced by the players back then! I've begun taking the mission posts and trying to put them together in a somewhat chronological order and i feel it is a waste to let all that good writing just go to waste, and never be anymore than an excel sheet with the export of database fields that no one will ever see again.

    I was wondering if there was a possibillity that we could have some sort of place for them here on the site somewhere?
    I've started in the middle (i'm stupid like that, i know.) and already have a sizable document with over 27000 words, but that is barely scratching the surface of what the awesomeness of Jordan has managed to recover.

    I'd like to know if anyone is even interested in this, if theres a place for this anywhere within the UFP site and if there is someone who's really good at formatting that would be willing to help make it look nice enough to attrackt the attention of potential readers.

    In a way this could be a nice showpiece which could show new visitors, or other passers by on the site, one of the aspects of the UFPlanets that this site has always excelled in and continues to excel in to this day!

    (and believe you me, UFPlanets has always had one of the, if not the, top quality simms on the planet! And tbh. the work i've read by Silynn takes the level even higher going into the future)

    Now i don't know the stats on the Ares section, so i might be wrong, but it seems to me that Ares could do more for the UFPlanets in way of attracting en entertaining trek fiction fans as wel as vice versa. In my opinion the writing deserves more, both current and past.

    As always: Feel free to shut me up if i'm being the desert surrounding the lonely shouting person!

    Well, i had higher hopes tbh.

    I really feel this could do well as showpiece, marketing or something like that to show off one of the aspects of UFPlanets.com's activities.
    Besides the community, the games support and activities and the FNS i think the SIMM section has in the past, as it does now and will do so in the future, been of an exceptional level of excellence and something UFPlanets should take pride in.

    But if that's not an opinion or interest shared by anyone in the UFPlanets than for preservation's sake alone i think it's worth the effort. The thought of no one ever reading any of that awesome writing which the authors spent countless hours on creating is saddening to say the least.

    So i've sent Welshavenger a pm asking him to respond to this.

    But come on..... no one else thinks this is interesting and everyone considers to be not worth the effort?? Really?
