I sent the number that I think is the ID in my e-mail (I'm pretty sure it came up more than once...I think). ...ah well.

Thats your userid changing, thats server stuff so he can kick/ban you etc. But next to it is a STEAM_0:1:23456 number that never changes. That is your steam id.

0123456 will be replaced by your numbers also if you didnt get that.

I'm sure if there is any errors in the application, they won't mind fixing it.

I expect we'll end up taking around 20-30, then possibly more.

At the start we'll probably take only the most suitable apps, then we might start taking more afterwards. So don't get your hopes up, but don't lose all faith if you don't get in straight away. We'll try and get an update in the next few days.

For this reason we aren't going to email people who don't get in, as we may bring them on at a later date.

Thanks for the update Aftershock. lol @ some of the people's comments in here. btw, wow, only six from 160. Was expecting a higher percentage than that tbh. Its nice to have numbers though, better knowing your chances than just guessin . Also, It seems as if they have some nice progress going on, im hoping for it to be released before the end of the summer holiday, need something to fill all the time. I should probably get a more productive hobby, any suggestions?

edit: yeah I've played BF2 quite a bit, so im used to finding bugs in games.

I was wondering did I miss something where accounts were purged cause I had to reregister. I liked having like 20 posts and an account ~2 years old.

anyways, I said my history and why I feel im valuable.

First off, I want to apologize to all you folks who frequently visit the Fortress Forever site. You're the FF blood and guts right now, and you mean a lot to FF's future success. Unfortunately as some of you had noticed, the main site and forums had been down for the last week or so (end of Feb - early Mar).

Some might appreciate an explanation, so here goes: our host machine experienced a data corruption problem that initially destroyed most of the site and the behind-the-scenes database. Thankfully, almost all of the site content and database have been recovered; however, the key words here are "almost all."

So how might you have been affected? Well, we're sad to inform you that our entire forum user profile collection (5,000+ records) has been lost. Although we seem to have recovered all of the threads and posts (and who posted the posts), we've lost all e-mail addresses and profiles that correspond to the user names. In order to let users grab their old names again, we've changed all the "recovered" user names to begin with the prefix "o_" (for old user name). That way you can see who made the post, but you won't be prevented from registering under your original forum name. The hidden and sad bottom line here is that yes, you'll have to re-register on the FF forums.

We are pretty disappointed by this whole bit and we're sorry for the inconvenience it's caused some of you. It's hit us hard, too, and we've taken steps to make sure that this doesn't happen again (moving host machines, better and more redundant back-up system, etc.).

Thanks for your patience, and we hope you'll enjoy fragging away on FF soon! The host migration process might have still a few more bumps on the way, so please bear with us as we finish crossing our Is and dotting our Ts. Some folks have put in a lot of hard work to make this transition as smooth as possible, so a huge thanks goes out to them.

Guessing most of them applied..
I'm going to sound like an idiot but what is shortlisting? I was guessing those are like the people who don't make it, but are on the list for another date..?

It's called a short list because it's been reduced from an original longer list of those under consideration. They are now on a list of preferred applicants.
