I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I know how much you care for them.
The rest - well, maybe it's time to put this one to bed. It was an unpleasant response, it wasn't fair to describe you as obsessed, as in fact the GOG team really should be doing that job for us. However it's clear that it's not going to be supported, perhaps it's time to power things down, let demand for change increase. Play the long game, acquire supporters. The site will only change if a lot of people want it to, not if statistics say it should.
Good to see you back.

I'm really sorry, but I'm unable to help you with this request. I have discussed this with my superior and cannot provide you with these logs.
The one thing that I can reasonably promise is that, when we next work on upgrading the forums (and we're getting there, slowly, as that section definitely needs our attention), I will push towards either having timestamps as default, or have them as a toggle-able option/setting, or at least hidden under a tooltip.
Unfortunately this is the best I can do in this situation.
So it looks like I can just wait and see if this is done in the forum update, then I can extract the data myself. A little indirect and not very timely but it's a little ray of hope, at least. Makes me feel a bit better that they spent the time asking around to try and get it for me, though the lack of any explanation for the "no" from the superior comes across as "because I said so"..The one thing that I can reasonably promise is that, when we next work on upgrading the forums (and we're getting there, slowly, as that section definitely needs our attention), I will push towards either having timestamps as default, or have them as a toggle-able option/setting, or at least hidden under a tooltip.

Viewable timestamps will be a nice feature either way, I'm pretty sure this has been requested before. Good to know they're considering working on forum upgrades, there's certainly room for improvement here.
Though random site glitches like the recent incident with promo packs show that there might be more issues to solve at the moment - I'd guess store/account related things take priority over forum-related ones.

Wait... you mean you're not working on the forums at the moment? D;
I kind of assumed that you must be continuously working on them and that it just takes a long time.
In terms of things that people consider to be lacking in the forums, this is probably a useful topic:
