Both Gamerdude and Atomicman were talking tongue-in-cheek throughout this topic. I don't think either of them were really serious.

my humor doesnt get conveyed very well as text.

phpBB does not come with quick replay. You would have to mod it yourself. Sorry, I should have made myself cleared. Anyone with access to the database (MySQL) can read them, but you cannot read the PMs through phpBB itself.

That is one thing that definitely sucks about the Internet. No amount of emoticons can ever convey the tone with which you are speaking. Especially sarcasm. I have been bit on this before myself.

Sorry if it seemed like I was jumping down your throat, but I hear enough of this crap every week (from people who are serious) that I had no problem taking your post as it stood.

Glad to hear that you are in fact not like the end users I have to deal with at work!

i have a very dry, demented sense of humor (nothing i say can be really taken in any seriousness). yeah most sarcasm is conveyed with vocal tones, body language, and what not and can be very difficult to understand just by reading the words.

I think I made a nice post. Anthing that draws Ben's attention is worth reading.

Look, I don't really care if anyone reads my PMs and if they did, I still wouldn't care. I didn't mean to start a war on the fourms here. I didn't know people were actually going to be serious about this. I would also like a moderator to delete my double quote thing above this (leave the one with the emoticon). Also, sorry I riled everythging up on the fourm

Sweet... you actually refer to people as "end-users..." That is SO 1337 IT.

Ben hosts the website so that he can make a little bit of $$$ (adds) - even though people pay him to make stuff, he still has to buy the beer and pretzels.

He hosts the forums so that he won't get annoying portable question emails every second of every day of every year. And so that more people will protablize stuff or become interested in portablization.

And I think Ben can come up with ideas on his own. He's smart enough. Then of course...

When you steal from one source, it is called plagiarism. Steal from many sources - that's research!

The chicks dig a 30 year old gamer with a receding hair line.

Just kidding Ben.

What is "one of the things not to post on someone's forums about the owner?"
