I just thought it was someone with a lot of "getting started" type questions :D

with that many questions it would probably be wiser to demand your school money back :lol:

I banned these two users but will not remove all the posts because it is a tedious task with the current setup. Sorry, part-time mod here and I am striking. :?


For the love of whatever god you worship (US military?) do not use such useless topic titles.

Spirit is in the middle of complicated labor negotiations!

May your strike against the man end well, and I hope your list of demands get met against the powers that be.

/Not really quite sure who the "man" is, nor the list of Spirit demands but he's usually pretty reasonable. I wonder who the "powers that be" even are? But these small issues are besides the point. Maybe he is under pressure because he isn't shipping enough Quake Injectors or something. Ah, the complexities of this modern world of ours.

PHPBB allows you to move all posts made by a user in one step. Its very nice to clean up after a spam bot. I assume you have a hidden trash forum for just such a situation. I know on my old board I had to, just to keep up to the spam bots. Deleting them one at a time was way too much work.

And he is gone.
...and all around me was the chaos of battle and the reek of running blood.... and for the first time in my life I knew true happiness.

NOOOOO!

Spirit should have known the delicate dynamics of labor negotiations.
