Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
No, you cannot have your name changed

Yep
I apologize because I am sure this has come up before, but what about allowing name changes for money, and posting them in the admin thread?
I'm not trying to impinge on your time, Stepdad, so please don't take it that way--I think you are the only admin who has that power right now, but what about giving that power to another mod or two, and letting us donate 25 bucks via paypal to a "Forum maintenance" account, along with our desired username?
If not, no worries, just a suggestion. I think it would see some use and make some money for the forum at least, but I also understand that it may not be worth your time.
Ah, OK. Thanks tube.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Coin flips. Blah. I'd go with the premium. You don't want to be one of those people
It would be awesome to include a 'feature' where you could only do this once per year and it include a coin toss with it.
Maybe build a database of shitty names to draw from for it. Have some prefixes and suffixes to expand it a bit.
So Minge could be a tails result. Then on the second pass it would be The Walking Minge of Sarah Palin (or other political figure).
I might be covering tread ground here.
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!
If it supports the site directly then I can spare a few.
I love this place.
Man, mods could make some serious buck off a few folks like you. Not that I don't think it is a legitimate way to do things. I've been a member of Something Awful forums for years and everything is pretty much a pay for service (ten dollars for just about everything account wise: creation, avatar change, name change, unbans, custom titles, search access, archive access). It is apparently a successful model.
I just think this place can be more creative with it all.
I'm not saying the SA model is evil and bad, but if Mike and Jerry wanted to generate money to keep the boards running by implementing a pay-for-privileges system, they would have a while ago.
Either way, I figured it was worth an email, so I'm sending one to them. I don't expect a response, but you never know.
If you want to support PA, just buy some merch or something, or donate to Child's Play.

They absolutely thought about that, and did do that, it was called club PA, you donated and got stuff. Now, they don't need to do that, and are even able to provide us with these forums at no cost to us. That's fine by me, I'd rather have free forums than a name change.
They will probably sell shirts (hopefully non controversial shirts!), books and maybe a hoodie or two m
Eventually I envisage a DVD about their lives.
Then maybe they could fund a forum like area of their website to encourage good will and fan interaction to keep their comic strip going for a long time.
However I can't imagine them holding an expo to do with gaming.
No, not at all.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
It's almost as if you are explaining to people how they get money to pay for the cost of running the forums, in an exceedingly condescending manner.
The name change thread and whining forum are like a vanishing island owned by a capricious genie.
:lol:

Regardless, forum problems were not the reason why the name change thread went on shorter than usual, because the whining forum still was open for at least a few days. I mean if it really was causing the forum so much trouble it would have just been closed immediately, right?

It seems that the forums rely pretty heavily on caching.
Is that verbatim?
It's the kind of thing a person who would e-mail Khoo to complain about Tube would say.
Was that the same guy that threatened to sue you or whatever?
Wait, no. That guy wanted his account deleted.
In a way, this is why the "Who got banned and why" thread was so hilarious before it sort of stopped being updated.
One of my longtime favorites was a ban by Orikae saying "There is a time and a place to post pictures of women launching produce out of their bodily cavities like mortars with breasts...oh wait, there isn't."
I want to report this for awesome tube, but- the back story. I would graciously request the back story to how you even became involved.
*edit*
Yes DoctorArch, I miss the admins putting reasons why people got infracted/banned too. Sometimes you could tell who was going to get themselves tempbanned/banned/infracted and it was like watching a trainwreck. (yes, myself included)
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.
