You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

As far as abandonware is concerned - What if you can techinacally buy it, but you can only buy it used?

Does that count? Like I can still get N64 games, but they are used - could I see if anyone has roms? SNES? Etc.

You have the same sectional header. Under the Images/file posting section, you have another images/file posting section, that looks remarkably like an information on banning section.


BTW, I love the alliteration!

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I have a simple question:

quote:
"Does my reply offer any advice or contribute positively to the conversation in any fashion?"

Now, if you have some one-liner comment that you think will be funny in the thread--even if it playfully jabs at another poster (being an asshole is obviously another matter)--are you "allowed" to post it under this rule? The reason I ask is that what's funny is entirely suggestive and somebody may try to be funny and fall flat, and it may sound stupid, but...I dunno, I just don't want to see people like Gydyon who will post in a thread and effectively contribute nothing but a chuckle banned or reprimanded. And I doubt it'd against the rules, but I'd rather ask and be answered on the forums than not and be answered by the banned page.

Otherwise, though, the rules look great and all that jazz. Good work.

I see two paragraphs under Conduct. I don't see anything relating to that in either of them (besides the sentence I grabbed from it).

The other thing I'm confused about, are we not allowed to post "I can't help you, sorry"?

I've a question.

This would mean no posting stupid links like "Click me!" or making an NSFW thread with the link "Free beer and porn!" and linking to something like OutWars or Kings of Chaos.

However, what if you tell people what the link leads to? I remember back when I played Kings of Chaos, I had a link in my sig which had (Kings of Chaos) next to it. Would that be legal?

The Rules® state that:

I think is should be changed to:

[quote]Something is abandonware only if it can not be purchased by the developer, publisher, or the many distributers (EBGames, CD Now, etc).[quote]

It's still abandonware if some guy in Montana puts his old copy up on eBay, but can never be found anywhere through official means *coughDaggerfall&CastleOfTheWindscough*


EDIT: Oh yeah, and there are TWO Image/File Rules headers. The second one should be changed to Banning or something similar
