Smiling Spectre Sorry, as real Admins stated, game downloads are tied to "correct" game name. So no renames from me anymore.

Looks like you were so upset about it you didn't realize you were complaining about it in the wrong thread. :P


Doesn't work without apostrophe either, and you don't get another shot in that case, btw.

That was what my concern is, especially with the current owner(s) of this site.

Did you know... Online casino gaming is so fun? That their sites are extremely secure? (just making fun of one of their "news" postings from the front page).

So congratulations BranjoHello, for your 20.000 PoE!

At 6 PoE per day it's possible to make 2.000 per year, and many of the Top-Listers aren't active anymore, so it is quite possible to climb further in the ranks. All you need is patience. So let's hope abandonia will exist for some more years :-)

Yikes... there's no way I'm getting anywhere near that. Just getting to 6000 has been a feat.

Just remembering the old days

Quite often the quiz reminds me of a game I've forgotten about, or at least make me take a close look at a game I wasn't aware of. It's a daily pleasant distraction

My first "real" job was working at Games and Gadgets, which became Electronics Boutique which then became GameStop (ugh) and that was in 1985 so I've been in the computer business for over 33 years starting June 1st ... yikes ... LOL

As a side note, my present hobby and passion is Autocross, where as fate would have it, one of the top guys in my sport is Andy Hollis of Microprose fame. I introduced myself to him at the nationals one year and we spent some time waxing poetic of the good old days of the C-64

All in all I really think you worry too much about anything...

Have a good time!
Greetings, new Chair-man Cyber-Bonk.

I beg to differ because I speak from my own experience. There are very methodical, organized, and perfectionate people like me who can be dominated by their habits, rituals.

Perhaps the best example would be the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Shhh. Air-cule Parrot is just a partner of Miss Lulu_Jane Marple.

And this can result in a very high self-demand, upsetting yourself and others demanded by your demands. In the long run, this leaves the person well exhausted.

Fortunately, I turned this page and now I only demand if the person is too time consuming to attend to me.

Like you say you’ve never felt this, good for you.

Now, I wish you luck with the next battle that should be tough. Your next opponent will be the Cosmic Being known as In-Betweener, but shhh! his secret identity is TA. Be humble before Lord Chaos and Master Order.

I will not comment on co-founders of Abandonia. So, after TA, you will finally confront your old Master to determine which of you two is the real, true, legitime, genuine Chair-man...

Geezer VS. Cyber-Bonk

Good luck. May the force be with you!

Bonk Thank you for your congratulations!

Don't worry, I neither want to take over your role as Poke-Man, nor do I intend to flatten your head in any direction (although you should know that there is a third spatial direction you did not consider: frontal in addition to transversal and sagittal! )
And don't worry about my stress level either, for me it's all fun here
All in all I really think you worry too much about anything...

About your off-topic remark: I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. But that's ok, it's not the first time I have that experience with your posts.

Have a good time!
