Holy moly, this is one step in the right direction. I cannot confirm to the Big Book as it's not my decision. But the Little Book will be reopening for sure.

@TemporalAgent7 what say you about Datacore now that the offer wall is gone?
There is a group of folks coming together to help with DataCore. So if that pans out, I'll step down from managing (and financing) the project myself but may continue contributing to the new and improved community-owned DataCore moving forward.
BTW, if you're a software engineer or designer or devops or statistician or otherwise interested, reach out for a link to a Discord where this is going on.

TemporalAgent7 posted this in Discord when the decision to retire Datacore was made:
As you can see, the decision wasn't just about the Offer Wall so don't expect TA7 to be the one to bring back Datacore.
That being said, from what I've been told, TemporalAgent7 is working with several folks to transfer Datacore to a new owner(s) or help them set up their own version of Datacore.
There's no timetable however as to when this might happen.
Edit: By the time I finished writing and actually posting it, TA7 had already responded. <raises fist in anger ..... Damn you TA7!>

If no one wants to carry the cost individually, consider crowdfunding through the community, perhaps through Patreon. Not the most efficient way to fund, perhaps, after Patreon takes their cut, but spreads the load nicely.

Y'all acting like DB never leaked everyone's email addresses before (thanks for the Mirror Spock!) and the backlash wasn't this intense, lasting, and severe.
Ah, memories. I started playing just after that mass email was sent, so I wasn't included in it and didn't get a Spock. But I was in time to see the turmoil on the old forum, and I recall at least a few players quit because they felt that some pixels in the game was an insulting compensation for exposing their email addresses. I understood their anger, and it made me uncomfortable. But I'm always willing to give someone a chance to explain themselves and try to rectify things, so I didn't immediately quit. DB owned up to it, offered an explanation without making excuses, and severed their partnership with the email server so it couldn't happen again. I was mollified by that.
I'm still trying to give TP time to properly address this, as the statement we were given struck me as a placeholder. I can appreciate that this is more intricate than the email server partnership. It disappoints me greatly to hear a message from other players that instead of trying to give TP a chance to make this right that I should just leave. That feels extremely dismissive of me, and also unfair to TP for me to not let them do something that might rectify this.
I dug up the statement, "Clarification and Details Regarding Recent Email Issue", that I referenced. This is I have waited weeks for from TP. Note the date that incident took place (12 May), the date an apology was sent (13 May), and the date this statement was issued (16 May).
That's how it's done. That's why I stuck with the game after a previous privacy violation.
So, Apple protects their customers with rules that led to the demise of the MalWall on iOs?!?!?
Actually, it looks like their rules are mostly targeted against the less bad parts of the Wall (the offers about installing other games), and as Apple allows the really bad parts only (the survey stuff), TP found that to not be attractive enough to keep the Wall included.
For me, it looks like Apple is not protecting privacy but just their control over what people install and how they do it. Apple rules with an iron hand over the money-making of their app store, I'm not sure they care much about user privacy unless when it makes good marketing.

Fun fact: well over half of all iOS security updates are intended to protect Apple from the end user and have nothing to do with protecting the end user from anyone or anything.

Protecting end users from installing an app that potentially bypasses ios security and gains access to the phone may on the surface be about protecting Apple from the end user, but are really about protecting unaware end users from giving nefarious developers access to their phone.
Not sure why but the Big Book freezes every time I try to open it now and crashes Sheets
Hi, a lot of people have been mentioning this and I'm going to look into it soon. Very possibly I've overloaded it a bit. I'll have a lighter version out soon.
Edit: Don't forget all BB content is tracked by the Datacore so if you are struggling with the Book check there.

Yes Apple does not want nefarious developers getting access to users’ phones. That is Apple’s job. The money they make from selling users’ info is less valuable if others can get it.

Thank you, most appreciated by me and my fleet.
That should tell us much more than everything {to be generous} that DB/TP/WRG/WTWBCNW has said since this whole debacle started........

Hey Mechalobe, where you at brother? 😅

That may have been DB's approach, but I suspect that TP prefers the broom and rug method ...

I've removed the Highlights/Data and the hidden sheets related to that, can I ask if it's improved for you?
