Worst Case of Off-Topic Thread Ever Seen on the Forum
« on: January 01, 2009, 07:49:28 am »
Today there were 108 guests online; the largest number since December 08, 2007 (129 people online). Looks like the word of Aquaria is out!  :) s

[EDIT] This topic, as Danger Mouse states, has gone completely haywire.

[EDIT]: Changed the topic name. ^_^

Haha!  ;D In light of the number of spam bots recently, you might be right.  :(  :)

There hasn't been that many spam bots. This forum has been actually doing really well; and all considering, there's only a couple of people able to rectify the situation. Alec, are you ever going to have people help you on the forums here in the way of moderators? Or do you enjoy devoting time to wiping out those minor infractions here and there?

There are people that serve as moderators - BMCC, Giant Underwater Potato, and Ian are the three, though they all have left the forums; I agree that more should be appointed.

BMCC??  :o

Yes, I believe silverflagon is worthy of Global Moderator status. Why are you so surprised that BMCC is a moderator?  :)

BMCC (Brandon) was a beta tester and is from TIGS , Ian is Alecs brother and the Giant Underwater Potato is most asurely a double account from Derek ;). It's times like this when I realise how "new" you are to this forum  ;) :D

Haha! I am not only "new" to this forum, I am "new" to forums in general!  ;) Never knew Giant Underwater Potato was Derek, though I knew all the other members' origins.  :P

I wasn't talking about you only, I was talking about the active members besides Alec, Derek and Quemanqa (spelled it right?) who joined a day before me. ;)
That's not something bad of course. :) And you're doing quite well Chibi, I knew others who came new to forums who well... left quite an impression. Your little grave digging can't compete with that. :D

"new" - I'm assuming your are talking to Chibi and not me since you did quote him. But I've been gone on 3 deployments since Aquaria first started... so there's a lot of stuff here and there that I have missed. :P

I didn't know Giant Underwater Potato even existed.. lol my poor ignorance! *shrug* And I'm certainly not new and didn't know that... I did know however that Ian is Alec's brother.. and as far as BMCC I didn't correlate the Beta Tester with the account that I vaguely remember.
