Driving Test

I have passed my driving test! Sadly there's so much ice now that I can't drive, typical.

Oh well, it's nearly Christmas! YAAAY! No idea what I'm getting, if anything. Cash for a new Graphics Card and Power Supply for my PC would be nice; £183 for a "768MB nVidia GTX460" and a 500 Watt Power Supply ain't bad.

I've also been getting back into Stronghold. Played the original first because I'd have been completely lost in Stronghold 2 after all these years. At least in the first one you don't have to deal with 'gong' (aka, excrement), rats, crime, and keeping people happy is much easier.

Will post more on the differences and quality of the games soon; but I'm tired, so Imma go to bed.

Forums

Well then.

There is currently an altercation between some community forum moderators and other members; I will not use their real names, for privacy.

One of my friends, "Eric" had posted an image twice, in two seperate threads, one being his own workbench thread, the other being an 'art' thread. Within 15 minutes a certain admin, "Collin", had deleted both posts, replying in the art thread: (I shall paraphrase for privacy)

"If that photo's posted on this forum once more, you'll get an official warning. You're starting to annoy me now Eric. >=( "

Now, alright, if Eric had posted the image, say, 20 times, I'd agree at deleting most of them, but even then, not all. His workbench thread should have been left as it was.

Collin has been giving grief to a number of community members, including myself, though not to the same extent as Eric. Collin is a moderator on a number of forums, even though he is newer to them than the majority of people he's been giving grief to. This had led to him thinking he is better than anyone else, and because of this, it has led him to become a grade-A dick.

Collin has been giving Eric negative vibes for a long time, and whatever Eric does, Collin has something negative to say about it; even with things that have, maybe not absolute proof, but are widely concived to be correct.


This is as far as the story has progressed so far; updates will become avaliable as it unfolds.
