I have just read this old editorial and noticed a major flaw: "Babylon 5 – I’ve Found Her" has nothing to do with Freespace at all! The total conversion covering the Babylon 5 universe is called "The Babylon Project".

Here's the correct link: http://babylon.hard-light.net/

Edit: Here's the link to the editorial im refering to: http://www.gog.com/en/news/editorial_freespace_2

how is this labeled as "News" and all I see is "TParis" instead of a GOG-representing post at the top.

Guess it's related to the age of this news item:

It could be that the forum formats thread titles based on content. Maybe all thread titles starting with "Editorial:", "Release:", etc., are formatted as news posts. The forum software is developed in-house at GOG, rather than using a standard forum software package, and has been known to act odd in various circumstances.

What's the problem with that? It's an editorial that's still available via the Freespace 2 store page.

Doesn't work like that, I'm afraid. Just that all news posts have the buttons "Jump to forum" and "New post". They don't turn up on the forum listing unless someone posts in their designated "thread" through said buttons - usually it's a GOG staffer repeating what the news post said, but nothing says it couldn't just as well be a common Forumite (as in this case).

... from my observations, at least. And unless a staffer tells me otherwise and explains the process, that's what I'll believe.

Awesome. Are there any other old gog news which have no forum threads yet? The exploits on this forum are really fun lately.

IFH was a Homeplanet conversion wasn't it?
