I’d also personally like me and Aura to have permissions to read the „The Book Of Life” forum (not the Moderator Discussion one), so that we could know more about the process of constructing a CA textbook so that we could have more ideas for Conway’s Story Mode puzzles.

Now, the question. Why don’t they just use private messaging? And why are they hiding these from us?
The PHPBB private messaging system is horrible. Forum threads are searchable. When one is writing an entire collaborative book (for example) it's really handy to divide things up by chapter ...

Another strange bug:
1. Select the c/5d spaceship.
2. Advance the selection by using Ctrl+Space.
3. Observe the red cells.
4. Click on one of them so the green selection disappears but the red cells still exist.
5. Click the hand button so that the green selection is back but the advanced spaceship ...

Here's a stamp collection of my best diehards for most square sizes up to 31x31. Maybe someone will find it useful, either for some of the components or just as a goal to beat. I had some larger ones in the collection, but Moebius's recent 32x32 with a lifetime of 1120271 makes those obsolete ...

I started a distributed 4x4 search (like Sokwe's c/8 search ).
Instructions:
1) Download EnumPattEvo
2) Change the constants to:

#define PRUNE (next.p>10000||next.tx+next.nx>MAXX||next.ty+next.ny>MAXY||next.tx<0||next.ty<0)
#define SPECIAL_RESULT (1==2)
