I totally agree mate.

It's beyond me as to how anyone can posess the mentality to think it was even remotely funny. What with the fake B6 post and now this, it gets old real fast especially for those that are eagerly awaiting the release of the patch to even make CloD playable.

This idiot obviously has far too much time on his hands and has some of the mentality of a person that finds it amusing to see peoples systems infected with a virus.

He knowingly got people to download and alter their CloD installation with old data...easily rectified I know, but that's not the point. I don't blame the people that did though. It's not the most important thing in the world but the release of the patch is eagerly awaited and very important to many here that are passionate about CloD and its future.

The forum has suffered enough in recent months without this sort of crap.

Question Why not lock all Beta and Patch threads from the beginning?

Why can't one of the Mod's lock the old Beta or Patch threads? This will stop someone from resurrecting an old Beta or Patch thread. I was caught out when someone else did the same thing about a week ago. Had a bit of a chuckle to myself but I do appreciate the other side as well. There are some very junior people on this forum that may not take notice of the date etc.
I believe someone has suggested in the past that when a Beta or Patch thread comes out it is immediately locked. At the end of the day, when a Beta or Patch thread comes out there is the myriad of thank you's for the first umpteen pages, then dozens of pages of arguments between members.
I just don't understand why we need to keep those threads open.
We now have something set up to report bugs, which should be enough to put in any whinges that people may have, including me.
Just a thought.

But, like I said in another thread a bit off topic:

I do agree that it's childish, but at least Foo'bar bumped "his one" with:

"Unbelievable, all this is already 1 year ago. Feels like last month."

Which I must admit was a bit funny at least - and not pure evilness like pencons comment that was just done to confuse people into downloading it. The effect of bumping the old threads is however the same but as Foo'bar selected a date that is yet to come (4:th of may 2012 is not yet here in Sweden at least) even though there was the patch thread from the 27:th of april for him to "choose from" then as pencon had not bumped it yesterday... So - I think he did that deliberately to not fool anyone into downloading it?

EDIT:

And looking at the fact that Foo'bar has actually contributed to the actual CloD game with his marvelous trains gives him some "slack" for me at least (even though it was stupid!):

His stuff:

Because everybody goes to the 'last page' on a patch thread to make sure they read the last members comments......

Bongodriver said: (with regard to Foobar's game contributions and bumping of the old patch)

>>So what......it's like building an orphanage and then burning it down. <<

I think you're absolutely right. A good point, well made, and an apt comparison to boot. It is exactly like that.

There was another good point here recently also....that the first release of Clod was groundbreaking in the same manner as the Wright Brother's first inaugural flight. Another good simile, and one we might all do well to bear in mind.

This is surely on that level. Well, said Bongodriver. It is about time people started to ignore the childish drivel and made this place a more rational and supportive forum.

Fine thanks, I realised it was all getting too much and that a different approach was called for. To that end I will try and be supportive, not quarrelsome, and concentrate on the better underlying traits of this game...and its followers. In all honesty, they probably really do have the best interests of the game at heart, and are not as vituperative or cynical as I have been sometimes led to believe.

It is grey and windy here too, but where there is this forum, there is always a ray of sunshine. I like to think it harbours a diversity of views.

BTW, this is a genuine view, not an attempt at high sarcasm. I was reviewing my recent posts and came to this conclusion...
