Great Helmet
By Ronin
from Tonawanda, NY
About Me Competitive Cyclist
I just purchased my 3rd Giro Pneumo over 10 years' time. It's a nice-looking, reasonably light weight, very well-ventilated and relatively inexpensive helmet.
I am on my 3rd giro helmet
By no nickname
from southern califorina
I bought it because the giro I was using did it's job amd protected my head in a crash. I was OK the helmet wasnt.
Still my favorite helmet
By Bob
from Park City Utah
This is my second Giro Pneumo helmet. My first was a gift several years ago, and it quickly became my favorite of all I have tried -- mostly a matter of comfort -- fit and ventilation. I like the style as well, but that is not really too much a factor for me.A couple of years ago, I crashed hard (got caught out after sundown when a ride took longer than planned) and hit an unseen pothole. I landed about 15 feet beyond the hole, striking the top of my head and then landing on my back. The top and rear of the helmet took a real hit, with the foam liner doing exactly what it was intended to do -- was out for at least a few moments, but suffered no ill effects.I have used several other helmets since then, but finally broke down and purchased another Pneumo and could not be happier with it. I hope I do not soon crash test this one!

not happy
By Need New lid

Fit was very small compared to other same size Giro helmets. One of the retainer webs broke at the back of the helmet after a dozen uses. Son had same issue with helemt.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not as big as previous reviewers suggest
By Dr. Mark
from Sandpoint, ID
I read previous reviews that suggested it ran small, so ordered a large. My previous Bell helmet was a M/L. Had to send it back for a medium, which fits perfectly. I like the easily adjustable RocLoc. This is the most comfortable helmet I've owned. Ventilation seems very good. My wife says it looks nice. Hasn't made me a faster rider, though.

Second Pneumo
By Koonster
from Tulsa, OK
This is my 2nd Pneumo. I don't want to spend a whole lot on a helmet so the thing I like best about this is the quality for the price. I spent less than $100 thanks to a sale.I have a long narrow large head. I used a couple of extra pads in the temple areas. This fits fine. The straps seem a little awkward where they come together under the ears but I may not be fitting it right.Basically, when I ride, I forget about the helmet. Ridden in 25-115 degrees. Fits over skull caps and is cool enough on really hot rides.No wrecks (knock on wood), so I can't report on it's main purpose of protection.
Good comfort and fit
By Pirate
from Lakeland, FL.
The removable shade is perfect for early morning or late evening rides facing the sun.
Love It!
By Beth
from Fort Lauderdale, FL
I have a small head and ride in the South Florida heat and humidity. Giro makes a great helmet that fits my head. I feel that the helmet will protect me when I need it! Love it!
Great helmet, great company
By TNTriNewbie

Great helmet. Use it for cycling and tri's. comfortable, great look. Fast shipping.

Shanghai, China
French streetartist / Illustrator living in Shanghai. Known as Keflione, His Majesty Keflouis XIV, or Keflouis Vuitton. Keflouis comes from the Graffiti and Street Art movements, where the concepts of "egotrip" and "territoriality" are recurring elements. During a trip in Asia, he spent several months in the sultanate of Brunei Darussalam, on Borneo Island. The sultan, one of the wealthiest men in the world thanks to the extraction of oil, is called HM (His Majesty) by his people. In this case, the comparison with a dictatorial monarchy appeared to Keflouis as evidence; the reference to the Sultanate is direct, almost logical. Here, he staged himself as the ironic founder of a monarchy or a kingdom, and worked on the issues that a leader may encounter.

Comments On Front Page And Hidden
Posted 15 November 2012 - 04:48 AM
1. Getting comments to "hide" then when the user clicks on the link it appears
2. Getting comments attached to posts on the front page.
For #1, I am using the WordPress ajax comments inline plugin. The instructions here say to put the below code into the loop. I have placed it at the end of comments.php, removing the last 2 divs at the end and replacing it with the below.
The issue I have now is that the plugin functions as it should, but I now have 2 comment boxes. One is the hidden one, and one is the visible WP comment box. I dont know how to disable one and keep the other.
For #2, this has been a real trick. I have looked at other forums that say to put
in the index.php file. Perhaps I just dont know where to put it in Pagelines. I have tried a few different places like comment.php to no avail. I tried to do a hook in function.php with the "pagelines_loop_after_post_content" hook, but to be honest, I am sure I flubbed it up. I dont understand hooks that well and the documentation is slim.
I am sure its an obvious fix but I just cant see it.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 08:05 AM
That plugin hasn't been updated in over a year, I recommend you contact the developer for assistance to make sure its still supported and works with the latest version of Wordpress. Also, PageLines doesn't have the structure of a usual Wordpress theme. If you were were to implement this plugin, you would most likely need to use both hooks and filters.
We do not recommend editing the core files, as when an update is released, your code edits will be overwritten.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 03:30 PM
I went ahead and installed the Base Child theme. I can find a new plugin to do the drop down comment, so lets forget about that part for a second. How about getting the comments to appear on the front page? What hooks/filters do I need to implement with the Child Theme to make this work?
Posted 15 November 2012 - 03:57 PM
Posted 15 November 2012 - 04:28 PM
I have tried this to no avail. Here was my process:
- Modify a template to contain the POST LOOP, COMMENTS, and PAGINATION.
- Create a PAGE with no content, assigned the newly created TEMPLATE, ensured that everything is ON that should be
- Assigned the Front Page to a Static Page
Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:46 PM
Posted 20 November 2012 - 06:12 PM
Posted 20 November 2012 - 07:30 PM
When using the Front Page option, setting it to the page I created for a static page, it shows the template I chose in the status bar. Content and Post Loop are enabled in the template but do not show on the page.
When setting it as a posts page, it does not set to the template I specified in the PAGE setup. It defaults to the BLOG template. In the BLOG template in the Drag and Drop part of Pagelines, there is no option to drag and drop comments into the template.
I would be happy to PM you the login details to take a look. I am pretty sold on Pagelines and am using it in at least 5 sites. I am hoping I dont have to move away from it in order to get this to work.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 04:04 AM
I've found the below links which might be able to help you somewhere, but I'm not sure how'd you'd implement them into the child theme using a hook. The list of Pagelines Hooks are here, if you know the php of what you're editing then you might be able to work the info below into the hook, but as we're not trained coders we wouldn't be able to advise on the process.
If no one else comes forward with a response you might need to speak to a Pl Pro who can script this in for you somewhere, if you need to you can check them out at www.pagelines.com/pros/

The posts that James referred to require editing the post loop and/or the WordPress index.php file. It looks like the part of the loop that needs to be edited resides in the class.posts.php which is a part of the core files, not an editable section. Maybe I am wrong here. The section for the postloop does not allow me to edit parts of the loop, just functions around the calling of the loop as far as I can tell.
Which brings me back to some kind of hook. Is anyone on the forum experienced with hooks?
It looks like I should be doing something like:
But when I add code to the function.php, the whole site goes blank and only the header loads.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 10:25 PM
You may want to consider using a FaceBook or Twitter integration for comments, either of which have tons of available plugins/widgets to display recent comment postings. Also, you'd get the added benefit of those comments being posted to your FB or Twitter account helping to drive more traffic to your site.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 07:13 PM
Would upgrading my account to Developer or Plus help get this issue resolved? Would there be additional people who could help if I updated and submitted a ticket?
Posted 23 November 2012 - 07:17 PM

Posted 24 November 2012 - 05:22 AM
The only way would be to hire a pl pro, or check Odesk to see if any developers post for private scripting jobs, or if you're interested in creating products/themes for the store look into joining the junto group
Again, I'm not a coder but looking at your code above it looks as if the php isn't closed off correctly, I don't think the last closing bracket } is required.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 11:00 PM
Posted 25 November 2012 - 11:56 PM
If so, we have to look to WordPress, which actually controls the comment form for the most part. It is incredibly uncommon for the comment form to be on the homepage as it's not considered attractive or useful there.
I did find this post on WordPress.org:
The method to implement that two year old code would be to use the Action Map plugin we provide to identify the location of where you want the form to appear. Presumably below each post listed.
Shortly, we'll have a fantastic new hooks plugin that allows you to drop the code into a form and it writes the code for you. But if you can't wait a few days, once you know the proper hook, you can craft it using the PageLines Customize plugin which has a functions.php that you should use for editing.
Properly placing it in the correct hook, should, in theory, make the code provided in that link work.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 01:26 AM
You are correct, we are looking to get comments on the front page under each post. Using the WP default themes, it is very easy to do. In the image above, you can see it functioning how we want it to. It has a link to "Leave a reply" which then activates the AJAX commenting form. So it is hidden unless needed. And if there are existing comments, it says "View replies" and upon click, the commenting structure drops down. We are trying to get this same functionality with Pagelines.
We have tried to do this through hooks. But it seems that any change to the functions.php results in a crashed site. I am not a very accomplished coder, so I am a bit blind here but we identified "pagelines_loop_after_post_content" as the hook to use. We then tried to call the very function you referenced. This is in an earlier post. But to recap, we placed:
...in the functions.php of the child theme. This caused a crash. We then removed the last closing mark and still had a crash (crash meaning, the site went blank as well as the backend and we had to FTP in and revert the functions.php to bring it back). This code was our stab in the dark as I'm not a coder.
UPDATE: I tried the same thing with the Customize plugin. I went back the the pagelines parent theme. The Customize plugin is active. When I use the EDIT to change the code, the css file states it is (active) at the top of the screen but the functions.pho states (inactive). It looks like a better code option would be:
But how do I make the functions.php in the Customize plugin active. The other two files (pagelines-customize/style.css and pagelines-customize/pagelines-customize.php) report ACTIVE but the pagelines-customize/functions.php file reports INACTIVE.

Smith Aircraft Engine
Gift of George F. Smith
Designed and built by George F. Smith of New Britain, Connecticut, this engine is the oldest surviving aircraft engine built in Connecticut. The cylinders were modified from those of a Corbin automobile, the crankshaft was taken from a Franklin automobile, while the aluminum crankcase and off-set connecting rods were Smith's own design. In the summer of 1911, Smith installed his engine in a monoplane which he also designed and built.
This engine is located in the Civilian Hangar as part of the Aviation Pioneers exhibit.

As "runways at sea," modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck design that serves as a flight deck for take-off and landing of aircraft. Aircraft take off to the front, into the wind, and land from the rear. Carriers steam at speed, for example up to 35 knots (65 km/h), into the wind during take-off in order to increase the apparent wind speed over the deck, thereby reducing the speed of the aircraft relative to the ship. On some ships, a steam-powered catapult is used to propel the aircraft forward, assisting the power of its engines and allowing it to take off in a shorter distance than would otherwise be required. On other carriers, aircraft do not require assistance for take off - the requirement for assistance relates to aircraft design and performance. Conversely, when landing on a carrier, conventional aircraft rely upon a tailhook that catches on arrestor wires stretched across the deck to bring them to a stop in a shorter distance than normal. Other aircraft - helicopters and V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) designs - utilize their hover capability to land vertically and so require no assistance in speed reduction upon landing.
Conventional ("tailhook") aircraft rely upon a landing signal officer (LSO, sometimes called "paddles") to control the plane's landing approach, visually gauge altitude, attitude, and speed, and transmit that data to the pilot. Before the angled deck emerged in the 1950s, LSOs used colored paddles to signal corrections to the pilot (hence the nickname). From the late 1950s onward, visual landing aids such as mirrors provided information on proper glide slope, but LSOs still transmit voice calls to landing pilots by radio. Special Order!

TomTom launches online content-sharing platform through TomTom HOME
Feb 12 2008
Users can seamlessly download, upload and share content with other members of the TomTom satnav community for free12 February 2008, Amsterdam - TomTom, the world's largest portable navigation solutions provider, today launches the industry's first content-sharing platform for TomTom devices that allows users to download, upload and share a wealth of navigation content with other users easily, and at no additional cost. The content available to share and download will offer something for everyone, from personalised start-up images, to warning sounds to funny voices and more.* The platform will be made available on the latest version of TomTom HOME, which has been unveiled for both PC and Mac users. This new version is available now and has been designed to bring new levels of personalisation to the navigation experience of the entire TomTom community. The content-sharing platform comes fully integrated into the new version of TomTom HOME**, is easy-to-use and requires no separate installation. Users simply connect their device to their computer, launch TomTom HOME and select the type of content that interests them. Within each area, the user will see a list of content supplied either by TomTom, a third party or individual TomTom customers. They simply click on the 'add' button to install the content onto their TomTom device. To upload and share content, users simply fill in a short description of the content and can then easily transfer the item from their device to TomTom HOME. "TomTom HOME is a key tool to emphasise our commitment to the constantly growing TomTom community," said Harold Goddijn, chief executive officer at TomTom. "Our users tell us all the time how much they enjoy personalising their devices with content they can obtain from one another. However, this content has always been spread out in a disorganised way across the web, as well as on users' devices. With the new version of TomTom HOME, TomTom brings personalisation and user-generated content together in an all-in-one, easy-to-use application unlike anything else in the navigation industry." Content rating and distribution Symbolising the importance of user-generated content, users can rate content via a star system, as well as sorting the content by popularity in the TomTom community. Additionally, TomTom HOME will automatically distribute any updates to existing content, for example if someone updates a POI (Points of Interest) set of favourite restaurants, their changes would automatically be sent out to TomTom HOME users who have previously downloaded that set. New Map Share™ features In addition to the content-sharing platform, the new version of TomTom HOME features new management improvements to Map Share, TomTom's patented map improvement technology. Now users can specify the corrections they download by country or region, enabling those with limited memory space on their device to use Map Share more selectively. Additionally, Map Share now features a status indicator which keeps users informed on how up-to-date their maps are. Background on TomTom HOME TomTom HOME is the industry's first computer software that makes navigation devices future proof, gives access to an increasing range of content and services, such as map updates through Map Share technology, and allows customers to further personalise their TomTom navigation devices.

It looked like a great shot and flew into the opening perfectly. I searched for about 30 minutes after leagues with a flashlight but no luck (found tons of spiders though!). My name and number is on the disc so if you see it, don't be afraid to let me know!

I thought we were going for a championship, not making an after-school special about trying to revitalize a down & out coache's career. Silly me.
If your a Laker fan you give Mike a chance..what can we do about it? nothing he's our coach deal with it
Given how "We want Phil" chants have echoed through Staples Center the past two days, I know this decision will leave many fans disappointed. Each of Jackson's stints in L.A. have featured multiple championships, and this is a team built to immediately carry that tradition. In theory, what's not to like?
However, something about hiring Jackson always struck me as overly familiar. Predictable. A bit too convenient. You could hear the wheels turning inside the heads of fans, media and players alike. "Phil is available. ... He lives in the South Bay. ... Eleven titles. ... Zen Master. ... Of course he's the guy."
Except, of course, most complex situations typically don't resolve in ready-made, neat solutions. And I wasn't entirely convinced another go-round with Phil was quite the slam dunk most people thought.
To begin with, the seamless-return narrative was exaggerated. Only five current Lakers players have played under Jackson, and three had relatively short stints. A few notable highs notwithstanding, Metta World Peace's time in PJ's system was, to say the least, turbulent. Steve Blake played one year under Jackson and was visibly uncomfortable in the triangle. During Devin Ebanks' lone campaign with Phil, the then-rookie rarely removed his warm-ups. Only Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol have truly flourished in the triangle. As Bryant noted after Friday's win, the 1999-2000 squad won a title in its first triangular season, but it was also loaded with veterans who spent years playing against Jackson's Chicago Bulls, which created some degree of familiarity. This 2012-13 roster wouldn't figure to benefit from that luxury.
There was also the issue of Steve Nash, who remains the same odd fit in the triangle as he was in the Princeton. Either the Hall of Fame point guard would have endured another learning curve in a system that doesn't cater to his style, or Jackson would have been forced to tweak his offense to accommodate a type of player he's never coached. Both approaches could have meant more heads bumping, and at least one reason Brown was fired was to avoid such a scenario.
It's also worth remembering that Jackson's last season with the Lakers didn't end particularly well, beyond just the second-round sweep at the hands of Dallas. As I wrote at the time, 2010-11 wasn't a strong season for Jackson. He had to be cajoled into returning, then throughout the season often seemed disconnected with players, unable to reach and motivate them. The team appeared less prepared than it should have been at key moments, and that lack of poise reared its ugly head during a playoff run that went from wobbly to disastrous. Too often Jackson relied too heavily on his established approach rather than venturing out of his comfort zone to address what clearly wasn't working with the team. Truth be told, he appeared tired of the NBA grind, like a man who realized he might have made a mistake in returning.

It is a good start to get an overview of the quality of your application at a given time.
The next step to take the right decisions is to be able to know how quality evolves.
To monitor how quality evolves, Sonar provides two features: the TimeMachine and the Time Machine.
Time Machine 2.0
Default Dashboard
A default Time Machine dashboard comes out-of-the-box. It is built with Timeline and History table widgets:
Timeline Widget
Note that you can mouse over the timeline to display the different values.
Obviously, metrics to be displayed can be chosen in the widget settings:
History Table Widget
Obviously, metrics to be displayed and number of versions to display can be chosen in the widget settings:
Delete A Quality Snaphshot
Whatever the reason (wrong quality profile, issue with analysis, etc.), you now have the ability to remove a snapshot to polish your history charts:
What Are Tendencies?
The tendencies are visible in every screen, from portfolio to class view, and are materialized by little arrows next to each measure. Those arrows show the trend for the measure.
How To Read Tendencies?
Sonar uses 5 levels to describe the tendency of a measure. Each level is represented by an arrow:
Strong increase
Medium increase
Medium decrease
Strong decrease
Sonar uses black ( ) arrows to represent tendencies on the quantitative metrics (the ones that are not reflecting quality of the code, for example number of lines of code).
Sonar uses red ( ) or green ( ) arrows to represent tendencies on the qualitative metrics (the ones that are reflecting quality of the code, for example code coverage). The red is used when the quality decreases, the green when it increases.
Of course, it is to be noted that if the percentage of duplicated lines decreases it will be represented in green by because it is considered as an improvement.
How Are Tendencies Calculated?
In order to display the tendencies, making a simple difference between the last two measures of each metric would not be accurate enough. Therefore Sonar implements a more advanced algorithm: the least squares method. The least squares is a linear regression analysis that helps removing the noise in order to determine a trend on discrete measures.
In other words, Sonar takes all the measure taken in the last XX days, checks that the set of measures makes some sense (by testing the correlation rate), determines an estimated slope and displays it using the arrows.
It is to be noted that the algorithm currently considers that measures are taken at a constant frequency.
It is possible to configure the number of days used to compute tendencies. See the Tendency Settings section for more information.
Tendency Settings
To configure tendency settings, log in as an administrator and go to Configuration > Differential Views.
- To activate/deactivate the computation of tendencies, set the Skip tendencies property to true/false. Default is true.
- To configure the number of days used to compute tendencies, set the Tendency period property to the desired number of days. Default is 30.
Deprecated - Previous version of the TimeMachine
Exploring the TimeMachine
Wherever in a project, it is always possible to access the Time Machine functionality through the left menu.
The Time machine enables to reply the past by looking at a series of past analysis. The Time machine page is divided into 4 sections.
The custom chart
This chart represent a timeline from the first ever analysis to the last ever analysis. On this timeline will appear all the metrics that are ticked below
To change the metrics appearing on the chart, tick the metrics you are interested in and press at the bottom of the page. The chart is then regenerated with the chosen metrics.
Every event, either generated or manually entered appear on the chart as vertical doted lines.
It possible to change the default metric appearing on the chart by clicking on Set as default.
The chosen analysis
When launching the Time Machine, Sonar displays the first snapshot ever and the last 5 events in the system.
It is possible to add snapshots to the view : snapshots can be selected either by date
or by events (only version events will be listed)
It is possible to hide a snapshot from the view by using the hide link next to the snapshot to be removed
The metric table
On the left of this table will appear the list of all possible metrics (grouped by families) stored in the system, including the manual metrics. Each column represents a snapshot and will display the measure for the metric. At the right of the table appears a sparkline showing the evolution of the chosen snapshots.
The complexity chart
This chart compares the repartition of the classes complexity between all the chosen snapshots.

After becoming an almost immediate hit for NBC in Fall of 2006, Heroes dropped significantly in the ratings over the past couple seasons. Fans have complained about the storylines but the TV show has been one of the network's biggest draws in the 18-49 demographic. NBC has opted to cancel it anyway.
Heroes follows a group of ordinary humans who have developed extraordinary powers that end up affecting their lives in positive and negative ways. The series' large ensemble cast includes Adrian Pasdar, Ali Larter, Cristine Rose, Greg Grunberg, Hayden Panettiere, Jack Coleman, James Kyson Lee, Masi Oka, Milo Ventimiglia, Robert Knepper, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Zachary Quinto.
The network had reportedly been considering three options to wrap up Heroes — a 13 episode order for mid-season, an order of four to six episodes that could be aired over a couple nights in the fall, or to just cancel the series outright.
Though Heroes still brought NBC some its better 18-49 ratings this season, the numbers just can't justify costs with a sizable cast and special effects budget. The network has a large selection of new hour-long dramas to choose from and so, has decided to cut Heroes.
On the bright side, NBC is supposedly working on a plan to wrap up the series. Right now, it sounds like there will be a two or four hour event that will air mid-season. The details will revealed at NBC's upfront presentation on Monday morning.
Over the past day or so, Grunberg has been tweeting and hinting that "the fat lady" was getting ready to sing. As the news broke of Heroes' cancellation, he wrote, "I'm hearing The FAT LADY singing her ass off!!! #Heroes = Cancelled! Sad. BUT… W/bad news comes GOOD!! My Next Tweet will explain!!" Three hours later, and Grunberg still hasn't tweeted again.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Heroes has been cancelled or was it long overdue? Will you watch the wrap-up event, whenever or whatever it is?

SWTOR was easily a better game than SWG, in fact SWTOR is a better game then pretty much all other MMOs on the market and it's a shame people didn't give it a chance to develop instead of expecting 8 years worth of accrued content upon release.
In fact recently there has been a number of MMOs which have not done as well as they should have due to the elephant in the room which is destroying the MMO market.
SWG was a horrible horrible game, theres a reason it shut down with barely anyone playing it in its last 3 or 4 years.
so yeah, no on anything from SWG and for the record pre NGE was just as bad as post NGE, dont let anyone else tel lyou other wise.
33 classes
free 252?! skillpoints which could be spend however you like (cross classes like 2-3 fighter classes or 1 figher and 1 crafterclass)
anytime able to respec
Crafter would craft the best gear
9 classes
fixed levelpath with "Achievement Skill Tree" (you would have to have 2 characters to have a fighter and a crafter)
no free respec/ impossible (with only 2-3 character slots)
Best gear to be found in "Heroic" zones....
That's just not comparable and despite your opinion, the main reason why everyone ran away from the game... not to mention that SOE released an expansion only weeks?! prior to the NGE to catch the last bigger amount of money they would see until the server were shut down.
Pre NGE and Post NGE is just not comparable in any way. Two entirely different games.
Last edited by Psychlon; 2012-11-12 at 11:41 AM.
And FYI more people left SWG before then NGE then after, the NGE was a response to the bleeding subs, not the cause.
Ive been trying to look for my last SWG post, SWG suffers from the worse rose titned specs fans every, they constantly talk up everything while leaving out all the horrible parts of it, and they were numerous.
When it comes to SWG, it had some things about it that you still can't in an MMO today and those things are what people want so much in a modern MMO.
Customization out the ying yang. One of the best things they did do was give you an insane amount of freedom with how you chose to play. Yes it created an unsolveable balance nightmare, but people love playing as a tailor pistoleer, or a Pikeman chef, or heck even the TKM/Fencer builds. You could be all out combat one day, and more of a money maker the next, it was just a matter of what you wanted to do.
The crafting system. Why on earth someone hasn't duplicated it is beyond me, it just blows my mind that in todays MMO's we are still stuck doing the same basic crafting thats been around for the last 20 years. Its boring and unless it has something super OP its completely worthless. I would bet if you talked to most people that played it the first thing that would come out of their mouth is something about the crafting system or economy.
The other biggy is the social system. You were required to interact and depend on others. Whether it was healing, bulk mats for crafters, a guy to repair that gear, or just your favorite dancer in the cantina you interacted with people. While SWG did have its share of asses, they generally were on a short leash. At some point they were going to need something from someone, and if your name was mud then good luck. Everyone had their short list of other players they relied on for something, and it brought the server together. No other MMO has managed to do that so well.
Just for me, the perfect MMO would be Pre-CU SWG with the bugs fixed, things balanced out a bit better, and Jedi turned into basically its own mini game ( basically you fight other jedi and maybe BH's, and can interact in PvE with other players but thats about it). Added to that would have been things like quests, not just for leveling but to be updated to give the game a direction and flow. Things like raids could be added for awesome stuff that didn't give you a massive advantage ( Jet pack is still probably the most epic thing I've ever seen crafted in an MMO) and were fun.
Its obviously just my opinion, but to me you really can't say the Sandbox games just have a smaller base. Why? Cause name the last really well done Sandbox game. TBH I don't really think anyone truely knows just how good they could do because we haven't truely had a good one.
I've said it for years though, the company that figures out how to combine sandbox and theme park into one game and it work well, will make the numbers WoW has seen seem small.
---------- Post added 2012-11-12 at 12:22 PM ----------
Actually we don't, we more than anyone else knows just how bad the game was. The problem is so many people try to throw the entire thing out like every single aspect of it was bad. The stuff they got right is what people talk about today fondly. Trust me, we remember just how bad the rubberbanding was, or how stupid it was that you could buff up and solo anything, or that you could pretty much build and untouchable fighter. We remember that they had to remove corpse running because it was so buggy they could never get it to work and we remember the servers going down 40 times a week because they were a mess.
We don't overlook that stuff, we just don't point it out because by now everyone should know how bad it was because they game is now gone.
As far as the reason for the NGE you are right, they did do it because they were losing subs. However they were losing subs because after 3 years they had failed to deliver on 90% of the promises they had made. The NGE just took it from a slow death to instant death. It cost them roughly 120k subs practically over night, roughly 75% of what player base they did have.

And even the plus points you point out above (social interaction, crafting) had lots of bad points in them, Coruscant cantinas AFK dancers, needing stims to lock you into your armour, crafting was limited, it was the composite clone wars, hologrind absolutely killed the economy with armour wearers and weaponsmiths knocking out sub par crap, left right and center.
The only good point was the material quality system (i made my living selling materials and power), everything else was bad or badly implemented, and even the good things got spoilt with SOEs choices see. hologrind.
Most of the major issues with the game though was due to just a lack of development time. They rushed it and butchered it, and then just kept on butchering it.
The thing is too when it comes to " apex of MMO's " its all a matter of opinion. For them, as individuals, it may have been the best MMO they ever played. Best is not always determined by what sells the most for some people ( Music has the same thing happen alot).
I'm fairly honest about the game, but I will always look back on it fondly. SWG is where I met my wife, and without it I may never have known her, let alone married her. That alone will put it close to the top for me, and that has zero to do with sub numbers.
In answer to the original question, there is no "they" who would have remade Galaxies. Sony Online Entertainment was done with it years ago, BioWare is a completely different company with a radically different point of view and the last shop in the world you would ever ask to "remake" anything, and LucasArts just wants a profitable license.
The best you could have hoped for was that some third party like Cryptic might have bought the license from Sony and proposed a reboot to LucasArts instead of a new game. But Old Republic was agreed to soooooo long ago (and took soooooo long to finish) that you would have had to be clairvoyant to think of such a deal.
Still experimenting...
SWG was so much fun...till I played WOW...then i realized how big and cool a mmo could truly be. I quit SWG to play WOW a little after the NGE hit and along with a friend. SWG was so boring compared to a real mmo...SWG had nothing to do but some same old 5 mans...I've seen more interesting stuff to do in single WOW patches than SWG would put out with a expansion.
JTL...once people got master pilot space was a dead zone...I only ever ran into a flagged person once...and they ran like hell. ROTW I think it was...it had levels on that planet but there wasn't a whole lot of questing and once you were done there getting the fancy news stuff it was another dead zone. The Mustafar one added some instances but they were only 5 mans and those got more easily and simplistic than a WOW heroic.
Then SWG turned to the NGE which was basically their attempt to rip off WOW...and failed even more.
Creature Handler was unique and fun even though it was not the most played class which is why it was scrapped by SOE for the sake of reducing it down to 9 classes (I don't want to know how many CH lovers wanted to kill someone at SOE.... I would have been ok with longtime torture).
And while SWG was bleeding subs... NGE was like the Atombomb leaving only those alive which did survive the blast.
more people left from mid 2004 to Nov 2005 (80,000 in one year ) then from Nov 2005 to then end of 2008 (80,000 in 3 years).
Dude what are you trying to proof here? I did play SWG and after NGE the server was empty... so why trying to convince me that it wasn't like that? Seriously. Why don't you go try and find out how many people left right after the NGE?...
In short... Those that scream about how perfect everything was in Galaxies before the CU and then NGE are quite literally the Holocaust deniers of the MMO genre.
Don't blame the casuals for making Warcraft worse. It's the unskilled masses who refuse to improve themselves and Blizzard who has decided to bribe these folks with an endless shower of purples that should draw the ire of both casual and hardcore alike. It was never about "seeing the content" for these people it's always been about the gear and their sense of entitlement.
HAM bar was really stupid especially when the sniper/ combat medics took over the pvp and the only class in the game to counter were Jedi which could heal their mindbar...
As someone already pointed out, if you focus on single elements doesn't mean that you speak in a general matter of the game. You also have to pay attention when you talk with people playing SWG until the server were shut down because from what I read, the game was actually bugfree/ enjoyable with elements from Pre- and Post NGE plus stuff they always promised and only implemented few months prior to the shutdown. (athmospheric flights for example)

Demolition work over at former mill site
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A flat, vast expanse of rock is all that is left at the former site of the Kimberly-Clark Pulp and Paper Mill along the Everett waterfront Friday afternoon. Only one building remains standing on the south end of the site.
A family looks at the rubble.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A group of people (top middle) walk past a large pile of rubble.
A contractor wrapped up a year's worth of demolition work earlier this month, leaving most the waterfront property as flat as a parade ground.
It's a startling contrast with the brick and steel edifices that loomed there after the mill shut down for good in April 2012.
"There's still some equipment there that has to be broken up and taken away, but the actual demo work is done," Kimberly-Clark spokesman Bob Brand said Thursday.
A large, beige warehouse will remain standing at the south end of the property, unless a new owner decides to knock it down. For now, the roof is the seasonal home of hundreds of Caspian terns. There are no plans to make the birds leave, Brand said.
Dallas-based Kimberly-Clark continues to market the property, hoping a buyer will snap up all 66 acres in one piece. Brand said there's a lot of interest, but no sale to report.
About 700 workers lost jobs when the mill closed.
The City Council in January voted 6-1 to zone much of the site for water-dependent industrial development, in hopes of attracting new blue-collar jobs.
Leaders at the Port of Everett remain interested in expanding operations onto the old mill property, port spokeswoman Lisa Lefeber said. Before reaching a decision, they want to finish ongoing environmental, legal and operational studies.
Naval Station Everett, located next door, is not looking to buy the property.
The state Department of Ecology is sampling crushed debris, soil and groundwater at the site. That work will inform a future clean-up agreement with Kimberly-Clark.
An agreement isn't expected for at least a year, said Andy Kallus, the state's site manager. People will have a chance to comment on the cleanup at public hearings before any deal is finalized.
Recent samples have turned up elevated levels of arsenic and other heavy metals in the fill, though Kimberly-Clark insists the amount is low enough to allow for industrial development.
The decontamination process on land is expected to take about three years, though it can proceed simultaneously with redevelopment. Cleanup in the East Waterway, where dioxins have been detected, is more complex and is being treated separately.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency in May issued a warning over excessive dust being created by the demolition. It has taken no further action since the contractor stepped up efforts to control the dust clouds.

|Jeanette DeYoung - All Children's Remembers a Special Volunteer
All Children's Hospital lost a legendary volunteer when Jeanette DeYoung passed away on January 30 after serving the hospital in numerous roles for more than 45 years.
She first heard about All Children's Hospital as a volunteer with the Children's Home Society (an organization dedicated to serving abused and neglected children). "A lot of the women were coming down to the hospital when it was first built, so I just followed the crowd," Jeanette said during an interview in 2013.
"I started volunteering here in 1968. I did everything. I worked just about any place I was needed. Many years ago, the hospital had a snack bar run by volunteers. One time, I brought in 10 pounds of homemade chili and sold it for 10 cents a bowl as a fundraiser." She also worked in the surgery office, gift shop, the front desk, and assisted with the charity ball and telethon auction as well.
Because of a special family connection to Willard Scott of NBC's Today Show for many years, Jeanette was responsible for making sure Willard had a Taste of Pinellas T-shirt to hold up on the show to help plug the event.
"She was a gem of a volunteer," said Volunteer Coordinator Ranetta Sumner. "She would always brighten the room with her positive upbeat attitude. She never complained about anything. The staff and volunteers loved being around her. We always looked forward to Friday mornings when Jeanette would come to the hospital."
Volunteer coordinator Brittany Circharo only worked with Jeanette for a short period of time, but loved hearing her amazing stories about her early years at All Children's.
When asked about her favorite volunteer job, Jeanette didn't hesitate for a moment. "It's the job I have now," she said. "I put charts together for surgery. I enjoy that. We have a team of volunteers to help compile all the forms that are inserted in hundreds of charts each week."
"The work she did for us was very much behind the scenes," said Bonnie Baker, RN, Clinical Manager of Perioperative Services. "She started out assisting our staff to organize surgical charts and it wasn't long before she had a team of volunteers who took over the project. She made a real impact at ACH. There was never a day that she wasn't smiling or laughing about something. She always made me feel proud to be part of this organization."
Another hat Jeanette wore proudly was serving on the ACH Teen Volunteer Scholarship Committee. The Frances Shoemaker Scholarship was established in 1993 in memory of the first ACH volunteer director, who had been a close friend of Jeanette's.
"I'll never forget the first meeting of the scholarship selection committee," said Roy Adams, ACH Public Information Officer, who served as volunteer director for 18 of Jeanette's 45-year volunteer career.
"We had about a dozen applications from our teen volunteers and they all had an outstanding record of academic achievement and community service. It was hard to choose just one teen that stood out among all the others. The goal was to award one $1,000 scholarship, which was being funded through the generosity of the ACH Foundation."
"Jeanette took her job on this committee very seriously. She spent hours carefully reviewing each application. By the time she finished stating her case, it was not unusual for the committee to award an additional 2-3 scholarships."
Jeanette witnessed many changes during her four decades of service. "It's amazing!" she said. "Never in a million years did I expect a new hospital. I'm so happy about it. I think the community deserves this. I make sure that everyone who comes to see me gets a tour."
A Celebration of Life for Jeanette will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Freefall Theatre Company, located at 6099 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg.
