Mike is always right.

He must have been the Forst to notice.

I wish I was was clever enough to make puns. Wouldn't be the Forst time, either.

Someone also stole the big reassuring words at the top of the frames that told you where you are.

It's like someone stealing the Hollywood sign in LA.

Dear PGI/IGP forum Management,

It would appear from recent reports and information that has come to light from extremely fun sources that due to potential abundant flaming activity on relevant forums that the Big Words on the website may have been torched.

This causes a great deal of concern and personal distress to me as the loss of these words although not completely necessary to help indicate my current activity on the website the very fact they have disappeared and no-one has made any effort to inform what posters are supposed to do for these situations. I do not even know which is my escape route or assembly point.

Please therefore can you remedy this situation with an appropriate update to the site guides as to what is expected of posters in these kind of emergency situations.

Yours in anticipation,

Noesis

P.S: Like the new web background page.

First thing I did when I saw that. Figured out a way to see it unobstructed. Then I made a note of what 'Mechs were visible, followed closely by wondering why there was not a wallpaper version of it. Getting a new gaming PC and I want to make this my wallpaper.

But can you tell us why the "Off Topic" link on the second row header bar on the website doesn't lead a person to Off Topic?

From what I have observed while watching the Mike Forst in his native habitat is that they are indeed not very good at helping. Mike Forsts are Canadians after all....
