Let me axe you something...

Nisgeis · 08-13-08, 02:59 PM

Is there any reason why the following forums are blocked:

Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific
SH4 Fleet Boat Mods Workshop
SH4 U-Boat Missions Add On

Whereas all the other forums are open for guests who have not logged in to browse?

I though initially it might be because of the recent creation of the new forum for SH4 atlantic theatre, but that seems to be open to guests, so it can't be a SH4 thing.

If I had had to register to read the forums here, I would never have got involved, so what gives?

Its to keep out the rabble...

You know the guys who would never register to participate in a forum

The prototypical "Dis game is da suxxors" and the like.

Aw.....nobody uses "riff raff" anymore! It's just as good as "rabble". "Miscreants" is good, but seldom used (and often misspelled....by me).

I guess the fact that work sucked today and my brain is fried is showing, huh?

That's the thing that doesn't make sense though. Who cares if the riff-raff, rabble, or miscreants can read the forums? They can't do any damage unless they register and post trash. As I understand it, that was the point in the seperation. Banning people who couldn't help themselves and had to commit the over the wall attacks. But making it so non derranged people can't read the posts herein without registering is a bit restrictive, don't you think?

I believe Nisgeis' point, with which I agree, is that it seems arbitrary to block the SH4 forums -- er, fora -- while leaving the others open.

I'd like to know the reason, too.

it is to distance ourselves from miscreants, rapscillions and scallywags!

must be a conspiracy against us by those sh3 forum users

Did I ever mention that I sometimes like peach preserves on toast for breakfast?

Nah I didn't think so.

If I can't get the peach preserves I'll settle for strawberry jam.

Man is it ever hot in Seattle....92 yesterday.

What about those idiots trying to pull a bigfoot hoax...eveybody knows bigfoot doesn't live in Georgia....

I only dabble a little.

I just sent a PM to Neal. I can already see the lightning spewing from his fingers, with the sarcastic dialogue of 'Hurts, doesn't it?'

I blamed AVGWarhawk, saying he told me to do it. And that's true! I hope my account doesn't get deleted. I'm scared

I'll assume you're serious, because sometimes people do make jokes about things.

Neal Stevens is Onkel Neal, The Sherriff, Da Man...the owner of the site, sometimes also known as Subsim Admin (unless he has clones to do that job).

Go to the forum menu page and look at the 'Announcements' section at the top.
