Re: OCAfan55's Rules

Huge thanks to PK22 for apgsearching HayLife in 6 different symmetries. Here's all of the new oscillators I found on catalogue period 10 and above.

Re: apgsearch - haul requests


Could someone do more searches in B3-q5y/S234q5e (Haylife) in different symmetries? Preferably fourfold symmetries like C4 4 or D8 4 would be highly appreciated. Thank you :mrgreen:

Any takers?

There are notability guidelines on LifeWiki that will give you a general idea of what the community as a whole believes is threadworthy.

I'm really confused, are these pictures of the ash of certain symbols that you're selling? As I've seen in your previous threads, I do not believe it is possible to copyright a CGoL discovery, and these aren't considered notable discoveries by the majority of this forum.
