15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Since he used [quote][/quote] its not that bad. Especially when its not illegal to do so.

That said, I think its hilarious you found this tiny little pocket of the world (Myth community).

Hey uberrig, glad you joined in! :)

Amazing you found sillek's unauthorized post! Nice!

Do you play Myth II?

I tried going to "inviteogly.org" but it doesn't appear to exist - is there a different url?

I doubt he plays Myth - he'd have sounded more personal.

He musta googled it to see if his stuff was used?1

The url recently posted is the way to find IO.
No I don't game more than flash or windoze hearts.
Yes, I googled my nick uberrig just to see what would come up.

So far nice enough site,
Cheers

Yeah uberrig - you might really get a kick out of Myth II - you can still buy used/new copies of the CD in various forms from various places including Amazon, eBay, and various game CD sites.

We recommend sticking with Myth II. Remember that there is a different CD to purchase for the PC versus the Mac.

You can just purchase the Myth II CD by itself, or in packages such as "Myth II: The Total Codex", "Myth II: Worlds", "Myth II: Green Berets". Green Berets is the only plugin/mod I know of currently that is not freely available (i.e. you have to buy Green Berets to get it legally). The other packages contain extra plugins but many of them have been modified since the release of the CD's and are all available publicly.

Here's a link at Amazon to the Myth II CD by itself (for the PC - from $0.79!!) to give you an idea:
[url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00001ZT3S/qid=1133989935/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1471992-5088062?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846[/url]Myth II: Soulblighter at Amazon.com[/url]

There are a TON (literally 1000+) plugins/maps/mods that you can download for free, giving you an almost endless amount of gaming variety. We've added a few of these ourselves. :) The Mything Links section on our site is one of the most comprehensive available - check it out sometime.

Let us know if you have any questions about it and we'll be happy to help you out.
