There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Irwin,
The 64k limit was in reference to pre-XP machines. If you have XP or beyond, there's no problem, except that you get a little "warning" box about it, because it's still coded into the game.
Believe me, I've pushed well beyond that throttle guard on a frequent basis. There's no warning at 128k or beyond, the only consequence is that the mission loading times increase exponentially, especially in terms of objects placed. Moving ships or vehicles affect the file sizes, but not the loading times.
