I think in the long run being generally helpful pays off more, even if we do accidentally help pirates from time to time. Since there is not a clear connection between buying the game and registering on the SPF anymore, and since most questions can be legitimately answered before buying the game, it's pretty useless to throw around accusations of piracy.

Clearly, all questions that can potentially arise from simply following the blog can also be legitimately here in the open forum. The question of whether physics can be assigned to custom objects is well within this spectrum.

Redirecting people to the SPF can be done for practical reasons, "you'll get better answers in the SPF...", there is no need to accuse people of piracy as well, it simply does more harm than good.

I agree with that. There are reasons people might be asking these things without have bought the game - such as if it's a game-breaker for them. Imagine trying to ask something about the now-disabled rigging and animation editors, being told you have to preorder first, and then when you go ask a queston you're told NOPE LOL IT'S NOT THERE.

That's just wrong, and shouldn't happen - but something like that will happen, or might have happened, if even the simplest of questions are only answered on the SPF.
