I don't know what fonts have been used, but half the page I can't view. Just a bunch of block characters and mumbo jumbo. I don't care myself, but i'm worried that Firaxis won't be able to read it either.

Oh, and I feel sorry for Firaxis, having to read all that. There are probably more ideas in there than any other game ever made, including board games! But if they do read it, learn from it and put the ideas to use, they're bound to come up with the best game ever created.

Whether they use all of the ideas or none, that doesn't mean this was all for nothing.
The entire journey to try make the next Civilization the best game possible, a game that the PEOPLE want, was a very important journey.
I remember reading that Firaxis are going to put a page up on Civ3 soon, hopefully before next year! That will flare interest back up again. I loved it when CtP was in progress. Everyone had something to talk about, now...It's the Off Topic that is amusing.
Good things take time.

The summary was really a gift and I hope they do acknowledge it. But in the end, I predict the detailed response to our ideas that we all wish for will come in the form of the game itself.
We have to remember too that the folks on the Civ 3 design team have been reading threads here, and at SidGames.com (and Firaxis) from the beginning. They've acknowledged on their own website that Apolyton and SidGames are the headquarters for fan input, period. They've been debating the merits of these ideas right along side us, count on it. We have in fact sent them a summary of threads they've poured over, in some cases, countless times already. And since our goal is to help shape the game, we should be in such a fortunate position.
I know from Blair Wolf that the "report ticker" idea has been debated for a month, but as yet without concensus. And BW would not have asked for our input in the first place if debating Apolyton ideas was not the norm around Firaxis. I think we're like the advisers they can click on and off (with Yin definitely the Elvis).
I applaud recent efforts to direct everyone to the new wish list to prevent posting old ideas. Maybe you should almost have to link through the wish list in order to get to the suggestion threads in the future. Anyway, the threads are probably more useful and inspirational than we know.

Report Ticker, I remember hearing about that idea, had no idea what it was, but recently I had to install a java applet, called "News Ticker". Now I know what it is!! haha!! What a great idea, awesome.

Maniac, go here, http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~knowles/Main.htm
You'll see the news ticker on the left hand side, it has an orange background.
Imagine having that on your interface, this way you'll know what is going on at all times, without having to open any other windows.
