Oy, don't get me started.
In case you can't tell, I've become a PC gaming snob. I'm of the opinion that 10 years ago the games were better, the community was better, the scene was better, and did I mention the games were better?
I hate this dual console/PC developement crap like a BW fan hates Savior. We get half baked games with terrible controls and poor graphics. I consider turning the Fallout series into an FPS as a cardinal sin.

No idea. I'm mostly wondering why that got left open, seeing as Bnet related issues tend to not be something we can help with.
After all, threads petitioning TL to patch balance in SC2 tend to get shut down for some strange reason.
Although I had considered doing a blog to thank R1CH for making such an awesome game, and asking him to hurry up and release the expansions. Since clearly that's the only reason so many people would ask for changes here, is if the wizard made the game.

Is GGnore the guy with a thousand alts? Or the one who got a second chance and continued on being a prick? Couldn't recall now but I'M SURE I've read on him. I guess it should be a nuke for this one too.

I really do not understand why being a member of this forum is so important to people like GGnore when they can't be bothered to learn how to not get banned.

TI is still at it, there was a gigantic ban spree a couple of days ago.

Scootaloo was just temp banned for 1 week by p4NDemik.
That account was created on 2012-01-11 03:48:32 and had 73 posts.
Reason: You were warned today about being such a supremely annoying and condescending jerk when engaging in a discussion. Please stop.
Seriously? Again? If this guy gets that username permed from TL, I am going to be extremely unhappy.
Also, I miss my DT

Given that your nick doesn't contain any l337sp34k, pointless capitalization, pointless numbers, sex jokes, racial jokes, or "sc2"; I would say you've been into the PC gamining community since the early 2000s at least. You're also at least 20 years old.
-edit: I don't necessarily mean the BW community, but rather that you've been playing PC games and in some way following the PC gaming community since the early 2000s.

I made the nick when I was 13 and I'm 17 now, so much for that analysis. Followed gaming community since 2008 but played games since like.. 3 years old? Civilization being awesome and the butcher from diablo 1 giving me nightmares was what I did back then.
So much for that analysis :p
but to be fair, it could sound like a sex joke translated into danish (in danish, people "play" penis when they masturbate  )

Well you can't expect Toast to know those kind of Danish nuances can you?
I can't say I was bothered with finding online gaming communities when I was 13 but that may be because I just played at home with my 3 brothers.

The capitalization on my nick is a constant source of regret

People seek communities, that why you didn't, because you already had your community with your brothers.

Yeah, that threw me off. Okay, new rule: I can only do this with people from the US. UK speak the same language, but they have weird terms for everything and I can't be expected to research.

See, what did I tell you, as you spend more time in the gaming community, more simple names take precident over crazy stuff like that. I think part of is as you establish a greater online identity, you want a name that represents you and is recognizable; having funny joke names or kewl names like t3RmiN4T0r suddenly doesn't have the same appeal. Years ago, I used a name that ended in "101"; being that I was going to skewl people (which, in some games I actually did, but that's beside the point). But I've grown to like the more simple and ambiguous "TheToast". Am I cooked bread, or am I the thing you do at a party?
Since we're in the ABL thread, let's take a relevant example:
FatkiddsLag was just banned
See this kid is pretty young, and probably hasn't been playing PC games for very long; or at least his only experience with online communities is 4chan and Reddit where other 15 year olds find this funny.
I really think there's something to this theory.
