I was just reading that thread.

I would comment but I was suspended for insulting the mods before. :rolleyes:

I do love this place sometimes.

NathWraith · 22 Jul 2011 at 21:32

LOL I don't even know what is going on. Closing threads is quite hilarious though. I think one of the other mods pee'd on the PC games forum's chips.

Basically people were talking about another online retailer selling games who are a competitor, so one of the mods stepped in and said "no comp" talk etc etc, at this point the PC game section kicked off and said "LOL you only stock 8 games, hardly competition". Both points are valid but the mods govern the forum so what the mods say, goes I guess!

Ah right, thanks guys!

Followed by standard thread deleting procedures which achieve nothing.

I personally level the blame for the situation in the PC Games section at the Off Topic thread.

LOL didn't you know, come 2013 it will be impossible to change gear with your arm? Fo' real. EU regs.

my point exactly

I can see why some would prefer the PDK version. Its a very good box. But the idea that its "future proofing" the car is salesman BS to get you to mad with the optional extras so he gets his bonus !

NathWraith, is it considered hotlinking if I link an image from my G+ stream? Got a car for the daily encounters thread and can't be asked putting it on photobucket.

Westyfield2 · 22 Jul 2011 at 22:09

I went out into town for a few hours and came back to find the PC Games thread deleted :eek:

. Think it was on page 4 when I last posted in it.

Is mentioning the word steam gonna get me in trouble then?

People not doing what they're told is half the problem with the UK labour force. Nobody wants to be told!

Probably. Just wack it on photobucket only takes a few secs.
