    So?

    You don't have to read those articles if you don't like them. You can just read the other ones and why am I justifying this to you when I already know your mind is set and I've no hope of changing it.

    I like Kotaku. You don't. Hence, you get your news elsewhere. Can't we just leave it at that?

    I basically agree with you. BUT it is your own fault for linking these articles way too often.

    All of our other disputes about Kotaku aside, this post from Black Dynamite proves your awesomeness.

    Could you please return to the topic of forum improvement?
  • edited October 2012
    Sure, fine. We've pretty much already said everything there is to say about the original topic though.

    A hug would improve this place.

    But... then it won't be as fun! You... you PARENT.

    Seriously though, maybe make it so that new forum members can't start a new thread until they've made 5 posts or something. Enough for them to introduce themselves (and weed out any spambots) but not so many that it puts people off - plus it'd have the benefit of stopping people from registering just to complain about how the latest Walking Dead is late or just plain sux because they killed off someone.

    But then the amount of people on the TTG fourms would go down a lot!

    Its quality over quantity! That's why I'm a loner.
  • edited October 2012
    Hey, me too! Maybe we should start a club for loners and we can all hang out or something!

    ...wait.

    One of the reasons why members should not reply to spambots is that the forum itself wants to punish them for it. And I can not guarantee that I won't ever forget to uncheck this darn box.

    Thanks for reporting anyway!!

    check that box. Do eeeeet naooo.

    Edit: does this actually resemble the true post count including deleted & off topic section posts? Interesting.

    Yeah, I think it does. But coolsome has 2,705 posts in the whatever thread ALONE, so there's not actually that much math to do.

    I don't know what method you use to delete spam threads, but I have yet to see Coolsome's name appear in the ban box when I delete a spam thread he's replied to. It's only supposed to affect the OP.

    Damn. I need to quickly make three hundred more posts to catch up.

    Apparently so, if the forum wants to burn everything in the thread to the ground.

    Not everything. Just most of the things. Nobody's called for the burning of the report button yet.
    In B4 BURN THE REPORT BUTTON!

    They already did that. People wanted it back and they had to have one made in Italy for $2976

    They should have just got a cheap knockoff from China for $2.99.

    It's just not the same and it isn't as reliable as the one from Italy.

    I miss the days when you'd start your own thread for gibberish like that, coolies.
