Tormentfan: Well if he feels he has a right to tell someone not to post, then going by HIS rules I have every right to post telling not to post either, especially if that's going to be his subject matter.
He didn't tell. He asked. wpegg said "I ask that you stop making so many posts." It wasn't confrontational. It wasn't a demand. It's a far cry from saying "Stop making so many posts". I don't think he thinks he is the sole arbiter of what is right and wrong on this forum, merely his opinion of what he thinks the OP should do on the forum. It was a polite request, and how condescending it may or may not appear to be is open to personal interpretation.

You're just splitting hair, being polite about it or not.. he was still telling him not to post.
And I'll say to you what I said to him.

WHAT'S THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE?

He has no right of say either way.

What the OP should have said was... "And who the fuck are you to ask me not to post, am I doing something wrong?"

No wonder you're such a troll. Still, better than most other trolls we've had in recent months.

That said, pizza.

Elmofongo: ...............where when you buy a game from a retial store and when you put the form of media in the PC, the game just simply starts pretty much exactly the same as console you put the disc in and it starts, no cd keys, no drm, no hassels and barriers of entry all in a vain attempt to stop piracy, just put the game in and you play. Now I don't if it was like that but was it?
Well, some of the older games did include a form of DRM and/or codes. The early SSI gold box games used either code wheels where you had to translate symbols from in-universe language into English or you looked up something like Page 15 Paragraph 2 Line 3 Word 7 as a copy protection measure.

Then you had stuff like Leisure Suit Larry where the game asked you a few questions as a gag form of age-verification.

However, that form of DRM actually added something to the game. Namely, the fact that the manuals and code wheels would typically be in-universe lore, so you'd get a bit extra story to go along with the game. Sure, it was acting as copy protection and a form of DRM, but it was a lot more acceptable (provided you never lost the wheels/manuals) than today's methods.

Pre-hard drive/CD era, you also had to switch floppies as you progressed through the game. Hard to believe that an entire graphical game could fit on <5 megabytes.

I'm sorry Elmofongo, I didn't expect this. As I said, it was simply a request from a fellow on the forums to calm down on the posting (not a demand).

This guy should get the classiest GOGer of the year award.

Look, I know I'm hardly blameless in this regard, but why don't we all calm down before T has to forgo his morning coffee and ask us all to take a deep breath and a moment for popping off again?

I'll follow wpegg and mention, this is a request;)
