I do not know how often he checks our forums (in the past he had some problems) so here you are:
Xa/b
X = can be N (nick) or T (title)
a = number of post in this topic
b = says which letter (including spaces)
- = next character in code
+ = continue to next letter to get character code
So, for example, here is second row decoded:
N21/4+T21/7+N3/5 -T75/1 -N81/5 -T81/5
S(GhostQlyph)+I(Dream It Dead)+X(Fenixp)-B(banned)-K(ChickenHero)-U(New User)

You're welcome!
~scratches head~ Either I am becoming too dumb, you too smart, or you're getting an idea of how weird my mind works. I'm not sure which of these alternatives would be good :p
~laughs~ That was supposed to be my second hint!
Am I correct to assume that the range of numbers gave it away? I kind of did choose the last one as high as possible on purpose, but wasn't sure if it would make things too easy since it refereed to a posting on the same page and the number would be somewhat prominent.
I'm always fine with that. Once it's solved it's solved ;)
Those who want to continue riddling can simply skip on the spoiler and there's no competition left once it's redeemed.
The '+' sign was always used for expressing numbers (e.g. S+I+X -> 6), since unfortunately the only numbers in your names and titles were the ones not in the dumb code!
Evil GOG and evil GOGers! :p

:D

BTW: weren't you afraid that some of users could change their title so the final code could become unsolvable? :D

I was more afraid of having typos or messed up somewhere. With that kind of encryption it's a massive bugger.
Now I need to think about a new form to tease you folks!
I had one ready, but that hit a technical difficulty wall.

It is a GOG code (can you get Septerra Core anywhere else?), but just keep in mind that this isn't the ninja thread - this is the slooooow thread :o

I've tried slow and that didn't help. Whatever the issue is with the code it's not obvious, and I've already tried substituting part of your link into the code since that was about the 5th thing I thought could be the secret.
