Oh this might explain abit :P

reputation is srrzzz bizness. i warned you people, didn't i?

No knickers under my kilt, pissing lightning and balls of thunder!

Not every problem can be handled with fists.
In this case the best way of handling things is to sit back and let the devs work. You voiced your concern. Now let them work on it. And don't think too much about your rep. It's just pixels. Everybody who needs to know who you are, does so.
Or do you only help because of some imaginary points? Would you not help otherwise?

Well,maybe if enough people done the same as me (who knows) they
can't just sit on their hands all day doing nothing.
They need people to come here,not lose them because of some stupid
idiotic system in place.
They need to put some of that money back into the forum and look after
the people that keep this place humming.

What can I do? The full quote doesn't fit the 16 char limit... :\


PS: I have never down-repped you, but I'd lie if I said I haven't thought about it everytime I see your posts with all these damn manual carriage returns. Why do you do it?

Yes,I would help anyone and as previous it's easy to say.
I don't settle all disputes with my fists all the time,but
actually try and talk my way out of it but sometimes.....
No,born and bred in Australia and proud of it.

most peope here who hate the rep system, want it completely removed. wouldn't that piss you off just the same?

I've been saying for a while to piss it off and change the system.
But GOG is very deaf or can't read or just don't give a fuck.

That and people who quote an entire wall of text to reply with a sentence. I *have* downrepped people for it, when all I really want is a "hide post" option. But, you play with the toys you have.

Scottish blood can be found all over the world. So many people fled the country centuries ago due to the English being absolute wankers (nothing changes :P ).

Actually I'm a mixed breed.All grandparents immigrants (Germany,Greece,Ireland and
Scotland) as we say here a bitsa.

Holy shit, you must be a fun drunk! :P

Most of the time,yes I'm usually a very happy drunk.
You can be the best fighter in the world,but dead drunk
you can be beaten by an old lady:-)

Being an opposing thinker is always going to be a curse no matter what forum you join, its never greener on the other side of the fence. Most importantly the GOG forum has nothing at all to do with what GOG's actual function is: to sell games to you !. Think of GOG 'the webstore' and GOG 'the Forum' as two separate entities, that's what they are.

So quitting GOG simply because of the forum is not a good solution. After all the only thing we have in common as gamers is that we all happen to play video games. The very idea of a "brotherhood" or "community" is naivety and fallacy, because ultimately we are all strangers destined to become assholes,. That's what the whole process of "gaming community engagement" eventually leads to, its an asshole factory. To survive you have to become an asshole.

Keep your account and simply take a break from the forum, or ignore it altogether. I really think you'll regret deleting your account later on. The only alternative around is Humble Bundle, but they don't sell as many DRM-free games and hardly have any classics.
