    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    I don't understand your confusion, Brian is a guy. Unless you think he should be using they to describe both of them.

    So true, the constant circle jerking over everything is absolutely unbearable. And these people feel entitled and superior because they pay to be on a forum.

    The worst part is when they go in hypocritical preachy mode. Like having 100+ pages threads about how horrible people are but ignoring their own bullshit. And they always do the circle jerk with ZERO tolerance of others opinions.


    For example, you literary have to hate Roberta Williams as a person over there.

    Because she's elitist and has often spoken about how dumb mass audience is. Basically, she could be a Codexer. And in my experience most of SA users tend to hate that kind of attitude.

    They also hate Roberta Williams because they hate trademark Sierra puzzles, and she has come to personify those puzzles for them.

    It's because she has a vagina and a games industry job while they can get neither.

    SA is about circlejerking as much as reddit is, in their case if you have a different opinion you get banned for trolling or not being nice or being relevant to the thread, so everyone ends up bandwagoning with their fellow goony goon goons

    I think this is a suitable analogue, or perhaps a simile, of the game creation process:

    Quoting SA as BTE material should be considered cheating, that place is a cesspool permanently filled with shit. Not only you have to pay to register, but you also have to pay money to get a custom title/avatar, to be able to read certain threads, to be allowed to read archived/old topics and more (and there are these rumours I read about some users being literal psychopaths or worse). And then you can (and will) be banned, forcing you to pay again to get everything. Blizzard/Jewtivison could learn a lot from these guys :M

    They also in general push the Sierra vs Lucas Arts angle hard.

    Heh, funny. A friend of mine at work was so stoked because he finally got a copy of king's quest to play.

    Love the lack of an argument they have.

    Even Bethesda was poking fun at SA and lowtax.

    Twice - once in vanilla Morrowind, second time in Tribunal.

    Funny thing is now (probably for years) lowtax has fucking hated the forums and gave up involvement with them to focus on writing instead of dealing with the retards who paid him to give him ad money. :lol:

    Dissing the woman they know they can never have because she is intellectually superior to them, while defending and whiteknighting the fat ugly bitch obsessed with romances because they think she's desperate enough to let a goon enter her vag. :thumbsup:

    It's quite logical if you think about it, from a pathetic pays-for-internet-circlejerk-forum person point of view.

    The funny thing about SA is that they, for the most part, dislike Bioware as much we do (notice btw how all the posters who are actually funny get put on probation)

    It's like a generational schism they've got going on there. 2010's-style American hipster non-domestication of snowmen (SA) vs 90's-style Canadian Clintonian non-domestication of snowmen (Bioware), which is better and why?

    So... you have an SA account with archives upgrade?

    The only thing kinda good that came out of that shithole was LPs anyway.

    Yeah, I decided to pony up some cash at one point. Shitty forums or not, the site's main page has been providing me with entertainment since the late 90's, so I figured they deserved something. (I've never actually posted there)
