Ignore my post count, long time lurker here.

As many pc gamers in this site may know, september is a pretty heavy release month, Spore is coming out, Stalker and BiA among others.

What are my reasons to propose this? Spore uses securom, the other titles I really don't know. Let's face it, scene now it's just a word, we have to rely in independent crackers to get fixed exe's without those pesky DRM schemes. Look at AiTD, crappy game with even a crappier protection, it took almost a month to get fixed and still the thread was pretty active with the classic: Doesn't work, where's the crack , bla bla bla.

What do you think will happen with a overhyped (and probably good game) as spore? Expect waves of noobs and requesters filling the forum with pure bs.

It's just a suggestion, it will make the forum easier to read and all the mods will have an easier job to do.

Thanks

We already have a partial solution for that. New users have to wait a while before they can post. We'll wait and see if that's enough to deter requesters and such.

Haha, ok Two months. I really wasn't expecting the game to be cracked, the general opinion is that it sucks badly. I only wanted Securom to get owned again!

I didn't know about the new system, that's pretty cool, let's see in about a week how it stands Very Happy

There hasn't been a wave of idiots because nothing really exciting has hit the pc scene in a while. Just wait till GTA IV hits. Going to be Crysis all over again.

Anywho closing regs won't ever happen. It's been beat to death and I had a huge thread debating it. Rinze has his foot cemented to the floor on this issue.

Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

You can always pm a mod if that happens and they will get your old account back to you.
