Okay, first time back since Tuesday. Crazy you guys talked about Elton, Rocket Man was on the radio as I pulled up to work on Monday and it was in my head all DAY.

About the images and shared stuff. Why won't my Firefox show any of them? The only pic I see is the one Splat posted. Everything the rest of you guys is sharing and talking about is a mystery to me. Oh well. Work computer and I can't edit or add anything to it, so it'll never be fixed.

Weird...!!!
I use Firefox and I can view everything OTHER than what Cat posted.

I use Fixfox and can see everything fine. Wasn't there an update a little while back? I assume you both are up to date?

You assume to much young padiwan.

LIke I said, this is a work computer so I don't do the updates. Example; I just brought up the System Properties on this CPU and it's on Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I'm dealing with hardware over 10 years old. And I work in THE State of the Art facility for all companies that do what I do. Hey, at least it has an Intel Core2 Duo CPU!!! LOL

I assume you work for the government? Because I can't imagine a private company would be that hilariously out of date. Yeah your hard ware can often be hand me downs but software? There's no excuse to let that get that far out of date. We could afford better systems then that and we just had to sell halve the company to the filthy unwashed masses our budget sucked so much.

Same here when at work.
I still run XP sp3 on my home stuff. I like it and feel no need to change until I upgrade to a new pc.
I don't want vista and am not crazy about 7.
I can get most everything to work the way I want it to, but I do upgrade my programs when I feel it's necessary.

Nope, not the government. I work for a major multi-channel service provider. Like a Cable or Satellite company.

I work for a company that has 122 locations in the US and they run XP.
My workstation has about 10,000 search bars and crap I could care less about.
Yay! Corporate USA!

Oh hey it's the 15th! The X-Com Expansion is out today! Won't be needing this for a while!

*put DotP on the virtual shelf*

Edit: Oh damn it BG2: Enhanced is out too? Your lucky I played you to death back on disk or I would be really conflicted about this!

Amusing because the only people he hurts are his fellow customers. Wizards clearly pays zero attention to the forums in general.

Someone actually got Sean to comment recently. He said they are working really hard on it and don't want to say anything until they have some idea of what they are doing.

Not really progress but....... they are working on it?

Still, it only hurts whats left of the community over there. It doesnt inconvenience wizards to have some child spamming a particular subforum, only the users of that subforum.

I was wondering why you mentioned the [img ] tags. That's what I use on every site.

Yeah... Devilwuster and I went to absurd lengths to combat someone doing that very thing once upon a time.
Today, I logged into the Wizards Forums (which was still my primary go to for now-this community) looked at page 1, then looked at page 2 and I was like " F*** this. I'm Out. "

Dude has been pissed. I would be as well, especially with the lack of info. But yeah, it really only hurts the few people who've not moved over here yet...of course, I'm sure it will be cleaned up soon.

I'm at the point now where I show no pity for Wizards. They really do deserve childish behavior from their customers due to their ignoring said customers. Their chronic lack of responding to major issues (or anything for that matter) is inexcusable, especially for how long it has been going on.

I really don't go over there much now, but this thread made me curious. Hilarious!

Isn't it funny, though, how that forum collapses while there's no one around to care about it anymore?

Yeah...
Like I said, I fought a D-bag that did that exact thing. Even got banned for it. Back then I cared.
Now? Notsomuch...

Wow!
I didn't even log in there when I got home from work yesterday and just had a peek.
Now that the community I give a care about is over here, I'm going to let WOTC ride that out on their own.

It's amazing.

Cat, did they put us in the forum change review group and lie to us knowing we would defend the changes by telling everyone it would end up getting better?
That is how it strikes me now.

In all likelihood, I doubt they MEANT to destroy their website. Ineptitude is much more likely than all out malice.

Although I bet with less traffic on the Duels section, they can free up server space for their other subforums that bring in more cash somehow

Hi everyone.

I've mostly just lurked at the other site but I figured I'd make a quick post to say hi and that I'll be lurking over here now. I really haven't paid that much attention to the official forums since the update so I'm probably missing out on all sorts of good deck discussions by now.
