Blazza when did you become such a buzzkill on the forums? :/

What's that you say? Funny Jaerik quotes?

My grandma once threw a Semi Truck at a T-Rex. The T-Rex got so pissed he summoned a comet from the heavens and killed his entire species. This is how it happened.

True story.


I'm totally gunna go put that on Wikipedia.

Not gunna weigh in on either side of this particular incident, but just going to point out that anyone using "***" or "***" 50 times in 2 pages on my forums will be shown the door with no questions asked.

You can feel free to test what the actual Jaerik Goes Apeshit number is, but you're not going to know until you've crossed it, (at which point it will be too late), so I would instead advise just playing it safe.

We don't really have a policy of closing threads that go "off topic." Wandering off the original topic is pretty much a standard part of well... conversation in general. Frequently, the original poster, having gotten their question answered and seeing the topic going off in a direction they don't see they point of, will private message us and request it to be closed -- which we usually honor.

However, if you're gunna wander off the topic in a way that makes the site look bad, (like some posters' tendency to intentionally derail every thread into an excuse to post borderline porn), or going to hijack a poster's thread into an explosive argument that has nothing to do with the original... well, there are subjective limits.

If this comes across as "censorship," then I apologize but... sure, whatever, call it what you want. If you're seriously going to equate us closing derailed pseudo-porn threads with Hitler's Third Reich though, then after taking a few moments to pick my jaw up off the floor over your laughable attempt at rhetorical hyperbole, I'm still gunna stand by our decision.

You do have to remember that majority of WoW FFXI players are kids with no kind of social life, so they can devote their sad lives to power leveling things to 80 75 or whatever highest level there is.


Fixed that for you.

Seriously, while my opinion of WoW is pretty negative, there's that figure of speech about throwing stones in glass houses.

It's a shame people feel the need to act superior to boost ego.


It could be argued that's the only reason many people play MMO's to begin with...

The Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy nor Roman. Discuss.


Nor an empire, ironically.

Alyria does a great job here on the forums. So far, we haven't given our green-names the ability to globally ban people, but if folks don't exercise a little more restraint we may change our minds on that...
