Warnings and Site Ban Theater

Hahahaha, me too! I'm way old! I remember my family not even having a TV or a phone of any sort! If we wanted to do some gaming, we went outside or pulled the toy box out!

Here I was thinking I was last old fart who didn't own a mobile phone! Hate the things, though I can also see good uses for them too. Keeping social media off them for starters! The number of times I've been bumped into by people walking along, eyes on screen instead of looking where they're going!

I'd wave my walking stick at you young 'ins if I still needed it! Being bionic is great!

I joined this site over a year before you were born.

I'm going to have an existential crisis when I go back to my old secondary school (ages 11-18) next week to talk to the students about my time making this site (which I started at 15 while I was still at the school) and what little I've learnt on how to run a business. None of the kids I'll be talking to will have been born then.

And what I find absolutely hilarious is, even being so young, you set up a site that worked.... When beth, a billion dollar company, couldn't manage it with all of their resources......

I was just over a year and a half old when the 1st iPhone came out.

I apologize if that makes anyone feel old.

I was older than that when Apple was founded.

While I was about that old when the first Mac came out. 

And going beyond Apple, I was a fetus when the Commodore 64 first hit the shelves.

And going back on topic, I saw someone was banned over a My Summer Car screenshot of a common "problem" in pirated versions.  I'm going to have to look up what that game does if it thinks you're playing a pirate copy.

(I assume it's a bit like how one of the GTA games would get increasingly-bad shaky cam and increasingly-shoddy cars if it was cracked too hastily.  Or when Game Dev Tycoon's devs intentionally leaked a pirate version where your game studio always goes bankrupt in the later stages because too many people are pirating your games instead of buying them. 🙂)

There was a similar thing in one of the Arkham games, Batman's glide wouldn't work on pirate copies basically blocking progress, those that reported the problem on the games forum were instantly busted.

Arkham Asylum/City. You needed to access areas that was only reachable by gliding to progress the story (Batcave in Asylum/A certain vent in City) and of course you couldn't reach them if you couldn't do that.

They also did something with the grapple gun, it'd detach or not fire randomly.

Was pretty funny watching people screaming over these "bugs" when the games came out.

I just read the Bans thread (as I do), and I saw someone named Ambryho who got banned for making some very, how should we say, colorful remarks about certain groups of people. I mean that in the worst possible way. After reading what the person said, all I thought was, "What a fraggin' Froot Loop."

We see morons like that now and then. They don't get to hang around too long after they've made a noise and get noticed.
