Oh you didn't... oh wait. You did...

Ack - no!

The process is something like this:

1) Have a Mod that is really interested in a growing game system
2) Have a bunch of users also express interest in the same game system
3) Have users post quality content about this game system
4) Have 1 and 2 continue to express interest
5) Everyone continues to post quality content
6) Exercise patience
7) Success!

Translated for the trolling type:

1) Have a Mod that floods the mixed forum with threads.
2) Have a bunch of users also flooding the mixed forum with threads.
3) More flooding.
4) Initiate "Operation Flash Flood"
5) Flood warning declared.
6) Continue until the flood defences finally give way.
7) Flood to your heart's content.

And now flood doesn't seem like a real word any more.

I suppose that's certainly one interpretation of it...

The the facts of the matter are, lots of lovely people got together and posted some high quality content. A core of that group even pitched in to increase the quality of everyone else's experience. Some of those people put in quite a lot of effort and we shouldn't sully that by putting it down to 'flooding.'

Anyway, i know you were all joking but Alpharius looked a little put out and i wont be having that on my watch!

Aye, good news all round.

It was more in response to after having the idea initially shot down, suddenly over a dozen new Infinity threads hit the 'skirmish' sub forum. Anyone discussing other skirmish games couldn't get a word in.

Incidentally, what has happened to the chap who started about 80% of those new threads (can't remember his name unfortunately, but he had an image of Buzz Lightyear as his avatar)? It's like he was an angel who visited us for that purpose, and then drifted away into the moonlight once his job was done

That's CDK.

All he did was change his Avatar picture.

*patpat* It's okay Pacific. Failing perception checks happens to everyone. Though I do like your analogy.

What, you mean CDK?
He changed his avatar.
Now he has a green Yu Jing symbol as avatar.

You sir, just made my day

OK!

The Infinity Forum should now be free of anything not Infinity related.

Let me know if I missed anything!

You're a machine, Alph!!

Color me impressed

Great work and thank you

Chalk it up to my youngest daughter getting up way to early this morning.

I knew the task was still on my 'to do' list and now... it is done!

You kept her busy modding the forum while you went back to bed? :O

Well he is Alpharius, there has to be at least two of him modding the forum for it to make even the remote bit of sense.

I wish!

(Not a bad idea for the future though - start 'em young!)

I changed my Avatar to something more Yu Jing Friendly lol.

I'm trying to think of some new posts to do too.

And I just finally figured out what CDK stands for!

Alph: making us mere mortals look lame since 05.

Thanks, dude!

Oh? Did you see it at the Infinity forum?

When I came here I wanted to do an old form of the name Wang Lung but it's taken.
