Change the black into white, add about 100 retarded emotes, and it's a near perfect likeness.

If I saw he joined yesterday, I'll treat him like he saw this game yesterday, until he proves otherwise, as opposed to thinking he's been lurking, and just throwing stuff at him.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
You're missing the point. You should be answering any question to the best of your ability regardless of their forum status. Removing the identifiable information facilitates that.
But that's besides the point, you talk as if you help people on this forum. Pretty sure you've never really offered any situational solutions to problems users have asked for.
Just sayin'. Don't use that as your catch-all unless it actually applies to you.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
What exactly was the point of changing anything? The forum was fine how it was. Was anyone complaining, at all?

Oh sorry, only saw the last post date after posting.
No need for sarcasm.

Calm down grif, it's called sarcasm. It's hard to detect over the internet.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
Attempting to cover up being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by calling it sarcasm does not make it sarcasm, bro.
You did not wait thirteen days from the previous last post just to make a "sarcastic" post.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
I imagine nothing about them will be done until the PHPBB patch comes along and weasel remembers to kick WJ (after he gets back from wherever he is) to put it in. That is, if weasel decides to put them back in at all.
EDIT: Oh yeah. Keep pointless bickering to PMs, thank you and good night.
