Sorry, no poking.

Yes, of course, you're right.

But I still hate HVAP more than you do. It's a scientific fact. I have proof!

And (just between the two of us), I love crunching yummy Doritos to their predestined fate just as much as anyone.

I opened a door, couldn't find the light, took a step toward the basement and woke up here!

But it's okay, the place seems a lot quieter than what I'm used to.

Heh, that's what I thought initially as well.

I think it could be better handled with a sticky thread in the political Forum saying that the forum was now closed and providing the URL to here, rather than the redirect which I thought was a tad 'rude'.

Oh vell, vat can vun do? *shrugs*

The truly odd part about it for me is that literally just this morning I had a conversation about the very topic with a fellow poster and we discussed how they should try out a poster-moderator or risk having to shut it down, and how bad that would be if it got shut down.

And I try to log in tonight and got the same browser-hijack scare/surprise we all did.

The BFC guys make great games, but they've never been good at moderating their forums.

The admin of the Battlefront forum asked Chris via email if he could provide a redirect to this forum, and Chris agreed.

Welcome to everybody from Battlefront!
