You knew this was going to come. But first, look at the two offending pieces of evidence.
Of course, the real answer is that Toady and Threetoe haven't had the time to do it, as it takes an amount of time and effort they can't divert from attending to our beloved dwarves. So you could put this among the list of topics such as multicore support, the interface/graphics overhaul, etc... that are always classified as "not a priority, since it is not about gameplay".
On the contrary. Gameplay is the sum of all the experiences you go through while playing a videogame, and if you are given a "our website is intentionally terrible, just like the games we create" impression before even downloading the game, you might put off the person to the point of her not giving it even a first shot.
Or, you could give Dwarf Fortress the modern, aesthetical, befitting webpage worth of its excellency. It doesn't need to be flashy, as long as it replaces the current first look at Bay12 and Dwarf Fortress. It's not like people are going to get disappointed by the game if its graphics don't live up to a website that presents itself decently. If the first download of the game counts, then so does the first front page load. And with the popularity and publicity Dwarf Fortress is now getting, you can't keep pretending it still has the status of your run-of-the-mill alpha game.
What do you think?
Except the original intent is not the current intent, so procedural stats won't happen in Spore. Ever.

A quote just incase you missed.
Will: "The way he's fighting is based upon where I put his weapon which is on his tail"
Think of macs as Anime: They have a crazy fanbase and even crazier creators. That doesn't mean we should damn it or the people who read it.
But yes, we much plan our invasion of The Confederacy of Pie. The League of Lunch is supplying them with resources for a similar invasion they plan.
soo errm i don't mean to be a push oner and all that and i'm sure everyone else may of asked this a thousand times now but i'm curios as to when 14 will be realeased because like most people who use windows (no idea about mac or linux) we can't wait to explore the new features (if any significant new onesas well as the fixed interface and all that.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
thankyou for your time
You're mixing two things. Toady is working on a completely new point release version, and only he knows the timing (or version number) for that release. 40d14 is functionally the same as 40d, except for the rendering/keyboard/mouse tweaks that have been made and listed in this thread. 40d14 will not provide you with any of the dev log features Toady has listed.

The pick two thing is all too true.
I don't know about that. They all eventually are boring unless you like to pride yourself in being better than others. That seems to be the WOW friends I know. They get so excited that they are better than others.
I have played WOW, LOTRO, Age of Conan, and Atlantica Online. Atlantica Online, the free one in the list, gave me more enjoyment than the others except for WoW.
^^^ What's #3 about? Warez? That's not really flamebait per se.It is certainly ban bait.
Coal, being carbon, is radioactive. Mildly so, but more than most stuff. Coal dust and sludge is a bit more radioactive, because of the whole particulate thing and some factor of it's processing. Still much ado about nothing, compared to the plain old chemical toxicity of the mess.Scientists have discovered over time, that burning coal releases radioactive isotopes and such. This adds up over time. My scientist used as a description of why nuclear fission - highly controlled and managed, is more useful and beneficial than coal burning. Because the radioactive isotopes go into the air. Radioactive nuclear powerplant waste is solid and much more easy to contain ( relatively, finding a place to put it is hard. My history teacher suggested lower the entire state of nevada 10 feet, and place it all there. His reasoning: It's already a wasteland.)
At least with the bug, I can now build some up/down airways. Urist has been eating too many plump helmets, and the fortress air down below is worse than dead goblin miasma.
EDIT: Cripes and double apologies. I just realize I posted this completely in the wrong thread. Well then. Back to your elf conservation conversation.
20+ odd very doomed goldfish (4-5 different times we tried to have goldfish, never had very good luck with them not dying).
Anyway, they're all total scams. Even if they happened to be genuine, why the hell would they randomly email you?
