Many lemons
A bag of lemons.
I'm not sick.
*injects*
Zelda! Where are yooouuuu?
*Sob*
Come to me, please?
*Stumble*
Why won't it come, my GC is hungry
*Falls*
I made a post once. In it it said something like "I was in GAME and I saw *summit, I can't remember what*" Well, when I went back to the post it said "I was in a inferior and totally unrecomembable game shop the other day". Now I found this quite amusing that one of the SR dudes changed this, whether it was of because of me mentioning a rival or just a joke.
And FFF, you're sick and need help. Or maybe just your copy of Zelda? Like mine... which I got early *Watches as FFF pumps Lemon Juice into his veins before collapsing into a heap*.
My deat sweet Lord Jesus, don't you have something better to do.
Ask yourself something:
Who cares?
It a star.
Who's life is going to change because of it.
This harmless joke.
Do you lose sleep?
Do you cry through the day, asking yourself "Why!? Oh why is that * appearing everywhere?"
Do you burst a blood vessel every time you see G*ME and GA*E?
Really, get over it.
Nobody cares in the slightest.
Anyway, i've wasted enough time talking about this. I'm off too ummm....waste some more time in another topic.

Hmmm, now having worked for SR in their Internet department for about a year, i would have to say that this was never a problem that was raised. Yes if you posted something with a link to the GAME website, and then a list of games and prices, it would be deleted and rightly so. This is advertising. However, SR have (unless they have changed their policy since I left) no problem with 'GAME' being used in a post in the context of general conversation. That is NOT advertising.

If people aren't *sure* why they do something, then maybe it might be a good time to start thinking for themselves and look at why they are doing it.

Special Reserve don't like people advertising on the site (which is understandable). People feel that if they put stars in the name of other online games retailers, they are not advertising because the general viewing public won't know what the word is....or something like that.
Admiteddly you'd have to be a complete retard to not realise the name was GAME, but there you have it. I think it's more a case of like you said, people have just got used to doing it and aren't even shough why they do it anymore.

So you should.

No i am not. Apathetic maybe, but definitely not pathetic.

Yes, but why. That’s the point. Do you think SR care? I'll tell you no. I just don't understand it. Someone said it was a 'joke' someone else said that it was done so you weren't promoting another site on the SR forum. Fact is, no one knows why they do it, they just do it because that is what everyone else does.
Think for yourselves. Do you think SR care? do you think this 'joke' is fuuny? No. It's just a pointless exercise that makes that whole forum seem like a kids playground. This is only a half step above the whole 'greystation' and 'smegadrive' playground rubbish. It's GAME.

You are right. it does have no real consequence in my life, it just annoys me when a decent forum is plagued by childish rubbish. And rubbish that no one knows why they do. Also i am at work, so there is only so many websites out there before you start to get bored ;-)

Ah thank you. I can know sleep soundly in my bed knowing i was quite amusing for Tiltawhirl. Phewww, I feel complete.

Amen
Wow someone put a * in GAME, let's stamp out feet and call everyone a moron for doing so.
Haven't you got better things to with your life other than complaining about tiny things that really don't matter and have no consequence in your life?
Your comments in Solksjaers topic I thought where quite amusing, but this continued negativity to members of the forum is getting quite boring now. Go play outside or something and stop annoying everyone.

*watches Tiltawhirl's rattle drop out of the pram*
Awww, did the nasty man point out that your little *'s are blatantly childish are not required. Awww. Here, have you rattle back.
