Beeing permabanned you are now longer allowed to play your copy of Spring, this including all mods, maps and versions. You may appeal against your permaban in the next century.

Have a nice day.

Your SPRING(TM)-Company Board Administration.

What if said person got banned in like 1998? Would they be able to come back in 2000?

also, keep in mind you're in "off topic discussion", things are a little better in the other forums, this one is basically all trolling, and people letting off steam ;)

what they launched steam in here, and i never saw the release thread? Since when does Valve use Springboard for launches?
I demand a answer, this is a conspiracy to hide important things from me, im impotent but have to see, so reveal thy hidden board in OffTropic.

The title means they develop games here, though some of them are minor professional game developers and programmers. Anyway, if you pay attention to the industry, you'll find that the big names are all quite mad.

I'll second that. Sadly, my home (or, Doom Fortress rather) seems to be getting pretty lonesome. Less regular posters, less easily visible development progress, less going on in general. So many missing faces, er, avatars. I think I speak for all of us when I say, it's probably Smoth's fault.

Yeah, so, we're not really "professionals" by any any means. Us "game developers" are just doing this as a hobby. Well, for the most part. I'd hate to think that Argh's pious piety is damaging my reputation since we're both "game developers". Don't group me in with people like him.

Really... someone's already confused. Can we please get unique "game developer" titles based on what we primarily work on? I've run a PHPBB before so I know that setting this up is trivial and will only necessitate updating once a month at most. Compared with most moderation tasks, that's nothing. Take it out of the time you have budgeted for discussing my misdeeds in smoke-filled rooms.

Look at the members list and sort by postcount. Anyone in the top ten is 100% crackers. Sadly, that includes me. :cry:

Solution: Anoint me administrator and I'll do all your work for you. And faster, though perhaps with tradeoffs.

"White cracka" is an ancient zulu term for a person of lighter skin complexion (also, females might sometimes be called "crack ho"-s even if no crack has been ingested).
