You don't suppose anything bad's happened to him, do you?

/me is concerned

Googlie and GT both banned. This is very fishy: not the first time someone (quite crucial) from the ACDG gets banned for "not following the rules of the upload feature". I certainly hope they hadn't uploaded any mp3 files, that'd mean a three week vacation.

Doesn't explain Tacticus's email not working, though, does it?

In any case,

Jamski · June 15, 2003, 13:28

KASSI !

You come with the answer to our problems like a Finnish Angel !

Given that DGers are the ones who upload the most pictures, it would be nice for them to clarify what is and isn't valid.

Banning people and then pointing to this reference in the FAQ(see below) asexplanation isn't really acceptable IMO.

What kind of files are accepted?

Only files related to the games we cover are accepted. NO ILLEGAL FILES will be tolerated. All uploads are logged!

Although I will admit I had to delete some files myself after reading Mings clarification, so I won't say the banning isn't somehow justified. But it would be nice to have it in the FAQ.

Thanks for that link, I need to be careful with uploading files and thanks also for finding out what happened to Googlie and GT.

Mr. President · June 15, 2003, 23:27

There's a picture of a Magic card among my upload files. I wonder why I didn't get moderated.

Probably because a) Magic is a game, and b) these are 5 or 6 Magic threads in the "Other Games" forum. Less questionable than the movie posters I had uploaded*, but I didn't get moderated either.

* Gone now...

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet,but I noticed you're all wondering where I went, so I'll set your minds at rest first. About a week ago, my internet connection went out, as it does occasionally, and it turned out that a file on our network was corrupted. When my dad tried to fix it, the computer itself stopped working (his, not mine), and it took some time to get it working again. We then had to call in some comptuer specialists to get the internet working again, which (obviously) it is now. The problems with sending me emails arose from my account having filled up with stuff, but I've cleaned it out, so that shouldn't be a problem any more. Sorry about all this.

EDIT: And I must say I don't have a clue what was objectionable about what I had uploaded.

Mr. President · June 16, 2003, 06:53

Oh no!

I only hope you didn't have to go out and play in the sun.

/me looks out the window at Melbourne

Er. I mean clouds.

GeneralTacticus · June 16, 2003, 06:55

Oh, no, I wasn't dragged down to that level.

/me shudders.

I spent most of the time reading or playing games that didn't require an internet connection.

Jamski · June 16, 2003, 10:15

/me is relieved nothing really bad happened.

Welcome back GT!

Welcome back GT

Hopefully our Googlie God has returned from his ban too

Method · June 18, 2003, 21:47

so who wants to fill in for me in RftP? anyone? anyone at all?

Drogue · June 19, 2003, 07:47

I think MWIA said he would?

Drogue · June 19, 2003, 07:51

Sorry, wrong person, that's for Herc. Anyone else want to take over a faction?

i went out and played in the rain today

Drogue · June 20, 2003, 07:43

My exams have finally finished (at least the ones that count have)

I should finally have time to become properly active again

Tonight, the drinks are on me

GeneralTacticus · June 20, 2003, 07:45

Excellent

Bartender - a double xenobrew, please!

School is basically over for me, too - we've got Work Experience next week, but other than that, it's over

Jamski · June 20, 2003, 07:48

You lucky, lucky, lucky gits

Enjoy your holidays... the world of work is getting ever closer

-Jam

GeneralTacticus · June 20, 2003, 07:49

And, oh yes, that reminds me. I won't be here most of the holidays - we're going on holiday to Queensland for about ten days.

Drogue · June 20, 2003, 07:57

Jam: True, I'll be working all summer, but work beats exams any day. Nothing like modern day exam stress

However have Uni before work proper

Let's hope I've done well enough to get in

You are? Where to exactly? If you're spending any days in Brisbane, maybe you can pop around to the Anime Club.

GeneralTacticus · June 20, 2003, 08:12

Nah, we're not going anywhere enar Brisbane. Going to be spending our time up near Cairns.

You'll be needing 3 'A's I guess.

Good luck

/me crosses his fingers...

-Jam

Drogue · June 20, 2003, 09:25

Yes

I'm pretty sure of getting 2 (Business and History) as I did well last year (thank GooglieGod for AS levels) but I haven't got an A in Maths or Further Maths (illness) and General Studies doesn't count. So I need an A in Economics. I have hope, as the last one went well, but in the first one this year I messed up timings (thought it was 15 minutes longer than it was) and so had to skip the last 2 questions, a quarter of the exam. However it should be ok

Thanks for the crossed fingers

Edited for atrocious spelling and grammer

Oh give me the exams any day! Even got 97 on the road test for my driving license. Now working 8-5, or rather 7-6 is a totally different matter.

(We'll all cross our fingers for you.

yep, i just finished my last exam today too

I took a drivers test last month and barely passed.

A word of advice: if you fail to stop before the white line, and they warn you to stop before the next white line, make sure you do that.

The irony is that I'm a great driver and have never had an accident. ( Except that time I fell asleep at the wheel and rammed the car in front of me at 70 miles per hour with the cruise control on. But that wasn't my fault because I was asleep at the time.
