    Guest users have no read access to the CAOD forum section; that is why you got the error message when you were not logged into EVE Gate.

    Thank you for the weekly updates.
    Please conftinue doing them.

    CCP's sand box is EVE Online.  The sand is owned by CCP.  We pay them a monthly fee to throw the sand at each other.  That is all that is here, so move along. Nothing more to be seen.

    In other words, more favoritism.

    Good game CCP, good game.
