Probably the neighborhood Gestapo at work is all. I understand their is a loosely affiliated "rogue" outfit running amock within the NG.Com community, but no one knows who they are? Since I'm a Mercenary I see and hear things as they come along, but usually don't get involved in Internet Revolutions unless I'm going to benefit from it in some way or I'm just bored. If it keeps up try PMing one of teh MODS about it. In all seriousness it's probably just someone being dumb.

I have no idea, what's the text of the post? Can you reprint it?

Bio,

I think we may have another forum gnome on our hands. Get your gun and meet me at the Mod Cave, I'll use the transmogrifier ray to transfer us into cyberspace.

Weird. I did a search for all posts by you in the Wanted area, using your member number. It actually showed the two threads about Metal Slug 3, but when I clicked them, it said I had requested a topic that did not exist. Normally the Search function does not find anything at all if a thread has been deleted.

They do not show up in your post history though. Strange.

Maybe 'From: The town where legends are born and the weak are buried.' this has something to do with it? Remember, 'Location' should reflect where you, city, state or city, country.

I dunno,

Sometimes it can devolve into thread-to-thread fighting. Lots of collateral damage :)

Apparently its the crackdown on the rule stating that location must be listed when buying or selling.

@Bobak, Calvin and Hobbes was easily one of the best comics, both intelligent while filled with gag jokes, well-drawn, and Bill Watterson is just a great guy. Hooray for Bill and his fight against licensing his own product, don't sell out Bill.

Also at Bobak, Collateral Damage was easily the worst movie ever, it would have been bad enough without September 11th, but that event just made it a bad movie released at a bad time.

Just to make it more clear: There is a new rule that says you have to say where you really live in your profile. I think it's just a way for the mods to stop the poor quality "jokes" people use that space for.

EDIT: Only if you are posting in the selling forums, of course.
