ATTENTION EVERYONE! Please read -- IMPORTANT
« on: October 08, 2008, 01:08:02 PM »
Everyone has been having a lot of fun with the edit forum profile features on APS the last couple of days.

Unfortunately, it's getting to the point of abuse.

Please get it out of your system now, because tomorrow morning I'm going to lock those features down again, and this time they're going to stay locked at least until we get a full and operational database up and running.

If you are not happy with your name, or with the extra information that you can put under your name, change it now.

Otherwise you'll be stuck with it for awhile.

While it's certainly your choice, you might want to return to Fistful since, for better or worse, you've become a forum fixture.  Think of all the poor n00bs who will have no idea who "Fistful" is or why he's a scapegoat. :)

How will I survive without my Celtic horseman ???   :laugh:

I'd like to remain Mr. Tactical pants for the foreseeable future. 

Is that a problem?

How long will the features be locked down? 

And if it really is necessary, can't a moderator change me back anyway?

I don't have a problem with it.  Just pointing out the disconnect that might occur as people reference "Fistful"...

Tallpine, I see a horseman as your avatar.  It's the same one you've had for ages.

Moderators will change you back for a low, low price of $79.95 per change, with a minimum purchase of THREE change requests.

Is Hope included in the price of Change? Or do you charge separetly for it?

Me neither.  Does anyone see mine ??
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
