I think the color's quite nifty. Certainly beats the hell out of the white template on the Team17 Forum.

I love this theme! So purple!

I like any forum with an outrageous colour... the WWW forum for example :)

He meant the original purple theme background - It was unusable on anything except IE. SupSuper fixed that though :)

He's not been posting on any other forums he and I visit really. He's got exams soon and so he's cut his PC time down a lot.

Having been kicked from T17 forums, I'll be found here much more often from now on.

That'll give you more time to write Gravity AI. :P

Edit: That reminds me, I'll have to make a better stuck-out-tongue smiley for my forum. That one looks like a big happy grin.

I reckon the red wormiverse smilies would look good on here, and it would save work. Try asking Niall if we could use them. I'm sure he won't say no.

Pity that. The forum (Team17) won't be the same without you K^2, it's a pity they did this. :(

The only downside is that now I'll have to ask someone else to take one for the team and post the announcement on T17 forums when the W3D Map Editor will be ready.

Anyone of us can do that, we could just set up a new account there from a public computer, make the announcement on the weekend (when all staff are off - maximum effect), and run.

That's your answer to everything.

Public computer is a good idea, though. I can just set up a temp account from Uni for things like that.

I wouldn't push it at the T17 Forum, if I were you.

According to a post by Luther, K^2 was made aware of the rules on more than one occasion. If this is true, to be honest, I think you got what came to you.

Also, just to point out, I will be removing anything about hacking that is posted on the T17 forums and will be recommending to Sel that the IP address of the poster is banned, and if possible, a range of IP addresses to prevent that user from returning. This doesn't quite get round the problem of posting from a public computer, but if there is a flood of people (or one person flooding registrations) registering to post the same hack, I wouldn't be surprised if registration gets disabled.


It is sad to see a regular get banned, but when they break the rules, they cannot be treated any differently. The T17 forum won't be quite the same without you, K^2.


I probably won't be posting much here - I'll be devoting most of my online time to the T17 forum, trying to keep the spammers under control
