Will you respect that it annoys some of us who are not certain individuals and please stop? I don't want to have to put legit posters on ignore but I consistently run into 3 or 4 who keep doing this and having to clean up the replies and quotes gets really tiresome. I'm sorry it annoys you, but I'm not gonna stop doing it, no. Me saying that I do it because it annoys people was actually a joke. I just do it because it's habit, and because I've always done it, and it's kinda my... signature, I guess.
If Blue told me to stop, sure, but otherwise, eh. Either snip a quote, or just leave it in like everyone else does. Or put me on ignore. I ain't gonna lose sleep over it.

Actually, I just do it because this is the way I did it before most forums had signatures, and I'm just used to doing it. (Lemme tell ye young whippersnappers, that in our olden days WE SIGNED OUR POSTS! THROUGH THE SNOW WITHOUT A PEN! AND WE LIKED IT!)
I think Blues is really the only site I even still do it anymore, to be honest. Just kind of a habit.

TOR is a huge failure, that lacks innovation, and uses the outdated hero engine.
It's sad that Bioware butchered this MMO and the Star Wars franchise. To be fair, Lucas beat them to butchering the Star Wars franchise. |

Sure they can, it's called leave and start a new company from scratch. Is it tough? Sure. But then you at least get to do what you want. |

I think the only two people who were still in that particular denial actually quit their jobs with EA last week, so I doubt anyone still believes different anymore.
Creston Pretty much, though I doubt the doctors really care at this point, they got their dumptrucks full of money, and the executive producers they have in place like Casey Hudson and Mike Laidlaw seem to fully embrace the EA way of doing things already if you're looking at how the ending of ME3 was handled, or how all of the development for DA2 was handled. |
