Yes they could have searched for pathc, but if they were gifted with the ability to read it would have served them well to note the date.

Raaaid, as two of the most respected members of this forum, I do not think it is wise to allude to, or impugn the intergrity of, either Bongodriver or Wolf Rider.

They have consistently offered a great deal to the forum, and proved themselves above the tittle-tattle and hearsay that is sometimes known to befall this place.

A little more respect for eachother, please.

Not to mention only ONE seems to have done so by accident - Pencon.

The other, Foobar, seems to have used an old patch thread to voice his displeasure about how unbelievably long the wait for the patch has been, without realising that the natural effect for many would be to assume that the patch was out.

If I had been browsing old patch threads and thinking of making a comment, particularly if I was upset about waiting for a much needed new patch, I am not sure that it would leap to my mind that some people might not notice the date and actually install the old patch.

Yes, in the ONE case this was a mistake and the user in question installed the wrong patch themselves. Far cry from deliberately misleading though.

Well I would impugn it based on personal experience and will take your call to authority for what it is. Let's not play popularity games here.

Your post stinks of wanting to drown out Raaid's opinion.

Quite, who could have realised that posting in an old thread would have moved it to the top of the list, it's not like patch threads have been bumped before......were just lucky to have some brand new members who know how to start brand new threads to voice their displeasure.

[Wolf_Rider]

yeah, funny 'bout that


anyways, the mods have acted as they saw correct and any discussion really is only waffle and wash up.

Are we any luckier to have two old members ready to assume guilt in the face of doubt?

Again, this is not about knowing it will bump the thread to the top of the list. This is about how reasonable foreseeable it is that people would actually mistake the thread for the new patch and download and install it (not having done their due diligence of course). Particularly as that poster didn't make the same mistake.

Then why point it out? Don't participate if you feel that way. I don't feel I am 'waffling'.

Besides, the mods acted only in the case of Foobar.

well, on the 'net, as we all know, anyone can be anything they want or say anything they... and some people can be very deceiving, whilst others who seem convinced can be sucked right in. (identifying deception is very difficult without physical eye to eye contact)

Lucky I have you, a much vaunted member of the community to help me out. Your ignorance, trolling record and thinly veiled contempt notwithstanding of course.

The fact stands. Pencon contacted me by PM in confusion, and I do not believe he acted to intentionally mislead. You have even less to judge deceit on.
