Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Clean so far.
I'm surprised that no one snapped to this one yet - way too much :shock: :lol:.

Edit: I noticed that - maybe he came to spam but stayed to play :D.

Hehe, I can guess who you are refering to. Made me laugh a bit, and the interests are either classic spam-spin, or befitting a real 'character' :)

Turns out that I forgot my mo'-in-law is 'net free and the Oolite forum doesn't work well on my 480x360 smart phone.

Glad it was relatively quiet in my absence!

Thanks to EV for spam dicing in the lull!

+1 from me, too! And I'll be away from the boards for most of the coming week as well ... work-related travel, and precious little opportunity for getting online. I should be back in harness though early next week.

Heh - I thought about that before - but then people like myself and Tricky would be banned :). I think the important thing is that the person actually posts a thread. I myself had visited the bulletins a few times before joining (I didn't join the board until about 4 or 5 months after finding the game). I would think that most legitimate people joining up have done the same - been a guest for some period of time, and then joined up to make a their first post. (Although I do realize that isn't always the case - seems that there are some legitimate people that join that don't make any posts, but then, I guess a username comes in handy to determine someone's intentions :D).

Trust me - some of the external links to certain video sites that you don't see because they're silently snuffed out - are enough to throw Firefox into a panic. (or are clear by their name to their content type)
