Thanks for all the responses! I'm currently on my phone, so I won't be able to elaborate as much as I would. However, my professor for the class provided a PowerPoint for us and it contains further questions that may make the topic a little more doable in a sense. • What topics, issues, problems, concerns keep this community together? • What constitutes new knowledge in your group? ▪Is it created experimentally? ▪Through discussion? ▪ Other means? • How would you characterize the kinds of language used? ▪ Formal? Informal? ▪ Complex? Simple? ▪ How are the reasons for the community's existence reflected in its language? • Does the community produce written documents? ▪ What is their purpose? ▪ Intended audience? ▪ Language? How does it differ from other communities? Most of these questions I could easily answer on my own, but I would also like to see your responses to them. In terms to the question concerning if written documents are produced, I believe my essay may include the reason why I joined this community in the first place: SimCity 4. The written documents, in this case typed, could include the documentation for addons for the game, such as the Network Addon Mod. I've venture into the modding pages every now and then and I think the language used there could aid me in various ways, such as properties in GMax and so on, as referenced in the comic by Mandelsoft. Very funny, by the way. I'll elaborate more once I get the chance, but thanks again for the responses. If any formatting issues are present in my reply, blame my phone. Thanks again!

Hey there, everyone! I rarely post topics here, so I am more or less just a dweller in this website. Been a member for about five years over two accounts. I'm posting this topic just to mainly inform everyone here that I decided to base my final paper in my Advanced Skills & Composition class on this fantastic website. As the title suggests, I have to observe a community, take detailed notes, and explain how that particular community utilizes language. Essentially, I will be browsing around the community, observing and taking notes on how everyone uses language. If anyone is inclined in helping, feel free to do so. Just keep these following guidelines in mind: How is the language used to form hierarchies? How is friendship revealed? What purposes, both obvious and subtle, does the use of language specific to this community serve? Feel free to also mention any notable events that have occurred in the community over the years. I did learn about John Winterton's passing shortly after it was announced, so no doubt that was a huge blow for the community. One thing I would like to ask is, what are all the reputation "levels"? My current reputation in the community is respected, so I was wondering what the other levels could be, as that may aid me in my paper. Thanks for reading this and if you are inclined to include anything about the usage of language in this community, that would be much appreciated and thanks in advance! *add* After posting, I noticed a "rank" if you will, under my username, so if anyone would be willing to tell me what the other ranks are, that again would be much appreciated.

Just got the same alert while attempting to read a topic in the SimCity 4 discussion page. I did a quick run through the exchange and received no alerts. It appears I'm only getting the alerts in the forums. EDIT: Tried re-freshing the page, got the alert. Looks like the individual topics are affected.

I'm assuming the "Wayne Enterprises," name on the query pop-up right? A reference to Batman?

Great timing, EA. Great timing. Well, I guess my dreams of an upgraded SimTower are dead now - if anyone remembers that game.

Here's a spreadsheet at the SimCity Central website in the Knowledge section. Not sure if its what you're looking for, but it's similar. Building Pollution Chart There is a spreadsheet on the growable buildings in the same section, but its been giving a "access denied" message lately, at least for me. Here is the Knowledge section link and scroll down to SimCity 4 Building Reference List and see if it works for you. Knowledge Bin

For the "overlapping a protected zone," get the zone tool and dezone the "protected area." That should fix that issue.

"Missing jet likely at 'bottom of the sea'" The Indonesian National Search believes the remains of the aircraft may rest at the bottom of the sea based on available coordinates. As stated above, this tradedy marks the third commercial air disaster this year. And as stated by a husband now likely deceased, "'Praise God, this new year brings a lot of good fortune,'" we shall see what 2015 brings.
