He didn't think I was serious Ohhhhh, I see.


You need a title so people know who you are. It could say "administrator" or something.

I was thinking about that, but there's something to be said that if you're new to a board (whatever your background) you don't come in and start spewing obnoxious shit when someone tries to gently correct a bad habit.  A title shouldn't be required to enforce etiquette.

He's temp banned, not deleted.

I'm guessing the browser he's using has some auto-indent feature.

&blowme would've been more appropriate.

That would be an obnoxious fucking feature, as there is nowhere on the internet that considers indenting proper etiquette.

Bonus point to your find Arthur for it bears a link to a lovely 2004 Lum's article.

EDIT: Zen does not indent on Lum's forum!

Wow. Zen's a bigger d-bag than he gives himself credit for.

I like how he insults the F13 admins (presumably for banning him) and then turns around and gets himself banned by Lum o.O

I found Iain's comments the funniest in all of that mess.

The overlap between people banned here and people banned at BF is pretty significant. And a lot of them go on to not be banned at QT3.  why so serious?

I think he's only temp banned here and it was an honest question as I don't really recall him being that big a dick before all this.  I mean it's funny but I wasn't trying to start a pile on.

I have decided to believe that ZenStain is responsible they're having trouble getting it.  His douchebagginess has actively hurt the prospects of this game.  Then I remember it was doomed to failure to begin with.  But I'll still believe!

Well, my ban was "supposed" to be lifted on the 31rst but up until day before yesterday hadn't been.... That aside.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1784263141/topia-online/posts

The only purpose of the Kickstarter, as stated multiple times was to add an artist and another coder maybe so that the game release would be sooner rather than later. Later today the pledging/pre-order system moves to the front page of the game where all pre-orders will of course be instant and not held up by the kickstarter system + 3 weeks for a check to be cut. Beta starts sometime between now and the end of January but those who get the pre-order now will have access to various tools, multi-player sandboxes and mini-worlds until beta starts.

What's the deal with the paragraph indent hate anyways?  Serious question.  I'm not trying to stir shit up.  I learned early on that it didn't fly on the internet, but I have no idea WHY it's so hated.

In a forum format, where text isn't right-justified and line widths are typically much longer than is optimal for visual scanning, a single line break and an indent don't do a sufficient job of separating chunks of text from each other. A full empty line is required to break up walls of text, rendering indentation both redundant and hideously ugly.

Plus there's the matter of HTML being completely indiscriminate in its handling of whitespace characters, yeah. The only reason they're even showing up here is because Simple Machines is going out of its way to replace normal spaces with non-breaking spaces in situations where your browser would otherwise just ignore them.

I suggest using an at symbol paired with an indent if you want to try for a perma-ban.  Trippy might get so angry he accidentally nukes more than one person.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!
