Seriously though?

Because this is a privately owned forum and those are the rules of the site owner.

Abandonware is not the same as freeware. Not untill the copyright expires, anyway.

When I was a teenager it was the '60s and long hair was just becoming the big thing. I wanted to grow my hair out, and my dad said "No". When I wanted to argue, he gave me a list of reasons. When I wanted to argue with those, he went for the bottom line: "My house, my rules".

When this Abandonware discussion comes up, I usually waste a lot of time and energy trying to explain Subsim's standing and reputation in the gaming industry, and trying to make the questioner understand what and why. But the bottom line is:

Here's an idea moderators: Start handing out brig time for everyone who doesn't make a search before posting, especially for threads like this that we got dozens if not hundreds already.

And being a whiny bitch. :DL

Now Dowly.... this isnt the Axis forums where name calling is acceptable :haha: (JOKING BUD!!)

I think he was more just saying the DRM servers are down... yet again...for the gazzillionth time...

Gazzillionth? Really? They've been down a gazzillion times?

Funny.. I must have the only non-DRM copy in existance because I have only had a problem three times, and two of them were in the first two weeks after release.

Wow! A gazzillion is a lot, right?
