Tell me what im making up?
I havent attacked the devs at all nor called them liars.
You've just done it in a lame passive aggressive way instead of being direct and owning your opinions. -

I miss a lot about the old forum, to be blunt. Firstly, it was MUCH faster to load.
The old forums loaded like a rusty black powder pistol and reliably mis-fired several times a day.
VB isn't super lightning fast, but so far it's steady & I haven't had any of those annoying freeze-ups that were a hallmark of the old software. -

You coudl increase the size of the post box even on the old forums
Also this bit of information would've been handier several years ago. =P -
the stuff we've been getting lately is way cooler than anything on that list.

I'm excited that replying to a message opens up a REAL text editing space, instead of a postage-stamp sized quadrant requiring constant and annoying scrolling for any post longer than a couple of lines.

I'm confused- is PP upset at players buying accounts? Because that's been happening nearly as long as I've been playing.
or at the badge system, which alerts her to the fact that an account has been purchased?
You can't blame MA for problems that predate its introduction by several years. -
They should- everyone will be flush with cash and have lots and lots of slots to fill.

Messing around with the new forums & made a new group dedicated to promoting eebil marketeering.
Not sure how they work, but I made it public so anybody who wants to tread on the feelings of casual gamers who can't purple their warshade because of our iron-fisted control of the market, click through and sign up! -

I massively underestimated just how much I could make, so I underestimated the bleed rate from my stockpile. I stocked up 50 commons, figuring I'd be tided over the weekend, with lots of people doing the same thing, posted at a modest 5% higher than I normally do post them (which is still a reasonable price compared to SOs of the same level).
I was selling them for three and four times their list price, and had emptied my stockpile in the first two hours.
Oh, poor naive Talen, who has not tried crafting on DXP before.
I also moved quite a few of the 'good' set IO recipes I crafted and stockpiled during the midst of the Meow frenzy.
Didn't have much time for actual gaming, alas. I got my plant/fire up to 32 and finished off leveling a few characters that were close anyway. -

AdBlock Plus for Firefox is the win. Besides blocking pretty much every ad on the web automagically, Right-click any image to block it.
Sorry, Google Chrome, but until you support this (which you never will) I will never switch from FF!
I actually liked chrome a lot, but will never again use a browser that doesn't deliver Adblock performance. -
Quote:So, you don't have a link to back up your garbage.Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
If you had asked me that before the forum migration I could have linked you strait to it, and I have posted links to it on multiple threads previous to the migration.
You, however, were on ignore before, and you are going back on my ignore list again.
Noted. -
the old forums looked like something a 5 year old colored in with neon crayon- good riddance!
these forums have their issues but the overall 'look and feel' is 10,000 times better than the old ones.
I'm starting to think some people have Stockholm Syndrome about the old forums. Years of abuse resulting in misplaced concern and appreciation. -

My biggest gripe is that, if navigating by the standard index, you have to go through a link to get to a subforum group to follow a link to get to a subforum.
It is quite retarded and annoying. -
what about Forum Games?

Haven't been able to play much this weekend, but I did finally get my plant/fire dom to 32 (whoohoo fly trap!) and leveled everybody I could find who were within a few nuggets of their next gratz.
Also, my crafty marketeering is paying off big.
Note to self, next time around don't marketeer with characters on Freedom, stick with the smaller servers. -
Quote:That's a really long time.Originally Posted by DKellis
I counter this anecdotal evidence with my own: occasionally I come back to a character after a couple of weeks to find the inbox full of spam, which requires me at least three or four minutes of clicking (and waiting for the server to respond) before the inbox is cleared.

How does that give anyone other than a moderator the right to start reading the rule book and ruining this thread with a page long argument about whether he should of posted at all.
Did you just get the internet and discover forums?
Because this thread is pretty much how they both work. =P -

Also, I just found out that you cannot add reputation to the same post twice, and used the "add a comment" box to see what it would do. Not much as far as I can tell.

I received a "Reactivate Now for Double XP Weekend" email on the email address that I used for a Trial account... -
Places seem hopping to me.
While Freedom and Virtue weren't maxed out, it did take me FOREVER to log anyone in, which isn't normal for the represented load. I think they took steps to keep them both up come hell or high water this time around. -

Photobucket. And the forums always auto-size my avatars for me. I may have an avatar thats 300x300 but if I link it to here, it automatically scales to the 100x100.
I use imageshack for my avatar linking needs- no registration or anything, just upload the image and copy the link. -

Huh. Seems low.
