    Add another +1 to agreement.

    Rather something that works than something that gets abused and misused.

    Why can't it be linked to the forum?

    Myself and others have asked; we were all told that it's an infeasible mission to pull off but yeah, I think that would be an awesome way to do it.

    Okay, I'll fess up to this one. I know I'm not about to win any brownie points here, but it might at least help stop this totally idiotic Hurdur crap.

    I was the original Hurdur. Site admins can probably comfirm this using IP addresses, but I'd say that would be a waste of time, seeing as I have no reason to lie about being Hurdur. In fact, most people would probably lie about not being him.

    I posted under the nick to do some light trolling. Yeah, I know. It was a dick move of me. Was bored, probably a bit lonely and sad. The normal crappy reasons why people troll. It got out of hand when someone else started posting under Hurdur. Said in the comments section that I wasn't going to be using that nick again, and as far as I remember, I haven't used it again.

    I know it was a dick move, but sorry about. I'm not planning on doing something similar again, because I've actually really started liking the community here, despite the fact that I'm probably in arguments over differences of opinion more often than not. :P

    So, just one last time, sorry about startign the whole Hurdur thing and for trolling in the first place.

    No sir, you are probably the same fool posting under everybody else's nicknames. Kindly refrain from it. It's merely souring everyone else's moods.

    PS for everyone else. I'm usually very strict about my spelling, grammar and punctuation, so if anybody posts under my name and there are either of those errors in the post//comment, there's a 99% chance it's not me.

    /wags finger @ Graal

    /pointlessly deducts rep from Hurdur instead (meagre consolation is meagre).

    Actually I'm not the guy posting under everyone's nicks, the name is rather popular in the comments section but wasn't registered in the forum, so I thought I'd claim it

    Also, you claim to be really big on spelling and grammar so I'd like to point on the errors in your post:

    1)comfirm
    2)startign
    3)fees up (should've been "fess up")

    Note: The above is an example of how to troll

    Graal, please don't take offense, as I'm just joshing around with you.

    Woah Horsie!
    If I troll I do it openly and with no masks applied.

    I have only ever posted in the comments, MAYBE... twice?
    I remember one I posted as wheunis, and another I actually might have posted under my first name.

    That's it.
    I long since abandoned trying to follow any amount of comment-based discussions on the articles.

    I just prefer doing all that bickering, bitchin, and rare trolling right here in the forums. Under my own name.

    Damn, wonder if anyone's used Shamrock to troll news section. From now on I'll only post as ImnotgayIpromise, I don't think anyone'll steal that.
