1.) The review was quite good, classic Yahtzee, but a bit too much on the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs.
2.) Dave, I'm assuming the forum you linked to contained some handy Spore patch, but when I went to have a look, my copy of Firefox started shouting at me in black and red saying "BAD SITE BAD SITE NO". Eh?

If "Spore patch" is a kind of euphemism for virus...

There is actually a "leave me the fuck alone and let me explore mod" which you can find on the spore forums but apparently it has issues. And I don't want to fuck around with a game I wont be able to reinstall (thank you very much EA DRM). Anyway it doesn't change the fact that as I said while there are hundreds of races there are only four personalties to go around. Once you've met crazy spode guys, crazy militant guys, crazy hippy guys, and bog standard average guys that's pretty much it.
About the only thing I still have to do is find earth but if the games ending is anything to go by it probably wouldn't justify my effort anyway.

It's a forum I visit every day, usually more than once, and never did my computer complain about viruses or the site being harmful. The post I linked to had the "leave me the fuck alone"-mod links in it. I assumed that Battlefrank was either trying to fuck with our heads again, or perhaps the downloadable content was infected. However, if it's the site that's problematic, and if someone still needs the mods, I'll copy out the whole thing.

Description - This mod will reduce the frequency of all space event for the purpose of allowing people to enjoy their universe, rather than babysitting their planets.
Extraction - It is in .rar format, so you will need winrar or equivalent to unzip. Also you may notice the file explodes from 8mB to 190mB. This is normal. (Hence why I compressed it)
Installation
-Back up your Spore_Game.package in the ..spore/data folder. Back it up to a different folder.
-Extract Spore_Game.package from whichever version you downloaded and put it into the ..spore/data folder.
-Start a new game.
Uninstall
-Delete my mod
-Restore backup Spore_Game.package to ..spore\data.
Note - There are badges earned by preventing eco disasters, and defending your allies, so you may wish to refrain from downloading the bigger files, but it is your galaxy, play it how you wish.

Yup. Same here. Upon further examination, it said the site was clean for some time now, so it's probably O.K. I am worried about reinstalling though, so I won't be modding my Spore any time soon.
