I however do have the capacity to deal with it; and will now slink back into obscurity to avoid the outcry of those whose post count was revised downwards.

Well I do know how to turn this on and off; however I haven't touched the settings for some time. I have disabled it now, I think. If it is still showing can people let me know. As for who did this: I don't think it was anyone because it wouldn't be the first time that a random setting has...

Well the results are in and while the poll was not heavily participated in, there is a clear (although not dominant) result. The new tag will stay as the /spoiler and the old tag will remain as /hide. Thank you to everyone who bothered to vote.

Actually the main reason for any form of post throttling is to prevent people submitting the same post more than once due to connection issues at either end. However, it does find use in slowing down any spam-bot who uses a copy paste system to flood a forum with the same post. For everything...

The use of the red was originally accidental, but served a purpose in that it looks equally out of place in all forum styles; it is a very unlikely choice of colour for a background because it would dominate any text colour selected. However if you have any suggestions as to alternative colours...

Based on the idea that the new spolier tag is for removing a section of a post from automatic view for whatever reason then you could end up with a long list of potential tags that may better describe the action than either /spoiler or /hide. I suppose /obfuscate is out of the question? My...

The username censor is in a separate section and yes the ass string was contained therin. I have restricted it to exact matches (that does not mean that all enhanced strings will be tolerated) even if I always read it as donkey. For some reason it will not auto-update the titles after the...

The server was down just prior to the topic's creation not when it was last posted in. Based on which this topic would be better served by being locked.

Er not really: it is actually mentally disturbing puzzles and skill related frustrating ones. Sometimes they combine the two just to make you want to throw your controller through your TV. For example: almost anything in the game with a sliding pillar of ice seemed designed to annoy and...

Alundra 2 was an abomination with no real connection to the first game evident anywhere; at least for the part I actually bothered with until I decided it really wasn't getting any better. Alundra would be better described as Zelda with the ability to jump and jumping puzzles designed by...

Effectively yes, Sony doesn't like its customers but the above is actually the most lenient in this department; continuing the analogy Nintendo hates their customers and Microsoft absolutely loathes them.

Apologies for pushing things off topic, but I thought I should explain this further: PS3 games have regional encoding on the disc but the console itself does not block games for having the wrong regional encoding as it does for the earlier Playstation titles. However, there can be a problem...

In the Dark Ages of videogames regional lockouts were there for a practical reason as due to differences in voltages around the world games on cartridges needed different resistance levels in order to operate with the correct power values. Handhelds have always run off preset power supplies...

Well one thing is certain, if it is released in Europe it will not be by Atlus as they have no such distribution system. Which means the whole thing would be down to which third party wants to take it on if any of them would do so. Currently there are no reports that anyone has chosen to do so...

I have reactivated the animated GIF option for avatars for those who can have an avatar, this seems to have been an oversight when the forums were updated and not a deliberate policy change. However, I will remind people that we can remove this option if people decide to choose an avatar that...
