arent those emails forums send out saying 'click here to activate account' meant to prevent bot spammage, or do they work their way around that?

They can work around that unfortunately. Same goes for activation codes, and if they don't work around it you got a whole lot of ghost users.

Quote[/b] ]perhaps because the forum is named 'BI Forum' they think we're fascinated with sex

Remember that guy who thought he would met bisexual people over here, cause he thought this was a dating forum for bisexual people?

You got an url for his thread ?

No unfortunately it got deleted.

Yeah, people at the Internet Caffes tend to look at you oddly when they see "BI FORUMS" in the taskbar.

Your not the only one...

Though I am wondering. Bohemia Interactive Studios is always related to as BIS so why are we using BI for the forums?

[shadow 6]

The latest IB-version supports HRI (human readable image) when registering, but it requires perl magik to run on the server. For those who dont know, thats where you have to type whatever letters you see in in a picture in order to submit a registration. It should help filter out the majority of the bots registering.

[theory]Because, read the 5th anniversary of OFP letter, every time Bohemia Interactive Studios is mentioned after the first full name, they say "Bohemia Interactive" = BI. Simply using "BI" or "BIS" in an official statement can lead to confusion, where as "Bohemia Interactive" is perfectly clear [/theory]

When doing any commercial exploit, make sure everything is 100% clear, and not open to interpretation (errors).

Can someone change my title back to OF Fan?

Hmm, not sure whether or not I should really commit on a "thanks" at the end of this post until I see a positive result...

[j w 0]

Everything can happen.

Llauma asked about getting "Ĺh Fan" instead of "OF Fan", and I said "LOL, sign me up for that one j/k"

Then I wake up with OF Fan as title.. Wierd stuff

And again;

Are we allowed to make adverts (or, advertise) for companies that we ourselves control?

Perhaps a hardware seller etc?

I don't mean that pointing someone to a company (that you happen to own/control) just as an example, but more like starting a topic:

"My new company!

Buy hardware, really cheap!"

or something alike, is that allowed?

And 2, is it allowed to link an company (that you own/control) in your signature (aslong as the links are following the rules of signature)?

Best regards

JW

No and no.

So, what's the excuse of this one passing by?

Is that why he got his 4 blocks?

[JdB 151]

The topic wasn't locked and the links weren't removed, so I don't think so J W

Also I think they (moderators) view server rental (in other words, strongly OFP related business) as being different from your average viagra factory

I think your thread that was closed didn't state the product you were talking about clearly enough...

Edit: typo

Should it truly be changed to OF Fan, I would like to express gratitude in advance to whoever changed it.

I was raised by wolves and rabbits so manners aren't something I excel at

edit: thanks!

Wasn´t there a thread about drugs´n´gaming here just an hour ago ?

Has it been removed or do i suffer from something else

[blackdog~ 0]

Try this thread.

[dmakatra 1]

Why is this thread locked, while this thread is allowed? No offence to Steve Irwin, may he rest in peace, but I feel it's wrong that some celebreties are apparently "worth" a thread while others are not. It's not like Roger "Syd" Barrett was an indy-artist that nobody heard of.

[Placebo 29]

My thought on the issue is that whilst it's important people find a way to grieve the fact that it took 12 hours for the second reply about Syd Barrett compared to the 3 pages so far for Steve Irwin shows that he was an internationally recognised figure whereas Syd Barett obviously wasn't and would have been best talked about to deal with the grief of his passing in a specific music forum, personally I'd have to say I still have no idea who Syd Barrett was whilst I knew immediately from seeing the name who Steve Irwin was despite never having watched any of his TV Shows.

Maybe it's unfair to judge who is "valid" and who isn't by thread popularity but it's just one of those examples we all come across of how death is exceptionally unfair.

Ooo, sorry for going offtopic, but this is definitely a lack. If you've ever heard of the band Pink Floyd in a positive way, you should definitely know about this guy.

is there anwhere for me to give opinions on moderation of the forum or should i go ahead and do that here?

This place seems the best. Allthough only a certain level of discussion is allowed regarding the way the forum is moderated.

[Sennacherib 0]

why not an new section for the modelling (with other programs) and the texturing, that would be great to have that for Arma?

[ralphwiggum 6]

send PM to Placebo or anyother mods.

As of right now, there is no concrete answer for ARMA modding tools. When it is released we will see what can be done.

Placebo could you please change Blackdog's Title to "Resident Beaner"? Thank you very much in advance.

I am offended by the term "beaner".  It is a derogatory word used to insult Mexicans, similar to ni***r for blacks.  I would appreciate it if this way dealt with quickly .
