Delete away Thomas, just be sure to let them know why and post in Admin/Moderators forum of any problems, I'm not always logged in when I'm cruising forums or I may be invisible, I'm just sneaky that way <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/user_comment.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="user_comment.gif" />
 
No worries, Skull <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" /> . I figured it was more of a general warning covering the three of us <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> .

I was surprised though at what Cylon wrote <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> - I thought he was just asking for trouble <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I don't think I've ever seen that much swearing in two lines of text before <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Sorry if any of you had to see those two lines of ..swearing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
no objections. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
Fine by me - no objections here either <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Ye can close it ..I don't really mind it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Thomas, there are a few threads over in Throwing the Bones that are just nonsense anyway, its hard to hijack them and really I would guess that as long as obscene language or images aren't being posted there I wouldn't imagine that posts would have to be deleted.
The other forums though, if the threads start to fill up with posts that have nothing to do with the the topic then those posts should be deleted with an explanation from you. An off topic post here or post there in those threads are harmless but sometimes they can take off into a spamming war. Threads really shouldn't be hijacked, especially when the person who started the thread probably needs some technical help and can get discouraged real quick when they come back to the thread and see several pages of spam. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ko" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />
 
Spamming is oke, as long as it is within the threads created, and I know which threads that are <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> I read them to Old Salt, so don't worry
 
Thats why we have word games an such so you can legally Spam, to do so outside of these threads you risk Admin/Moderators actions <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I have created a POTC Modding forum as subforum to the POTC Build Mod forum that is only accessible to the members of the new Modders user group. Here the modders can share their work that they don't yet want to release to the public and converse in private. I have added most of the main modders to the group so they should now have access. Please let me know if you don't have access but do think you should have.
 
It is now possible to attach .rar, .c and .h files to your posts. If there are any other file types you might need to upload, please say so.

Also, for those who don't read the PotC forums, I now applied the following privileges to the Modders group:
- 10 MB storage space for attachments (instead of 500 kB)
- 100 PM storage space (instead of 50)
- Allow PM attachments
- 0 seconds for search flood control (instead of 20)
- Can edit own topic title & description
- Can avoid flood control
- Group/member name in cool <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->red<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

See <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11813" target="_blank">here</a> for the members to whom this applies.
 
Also .gm is now possible to upload! (my work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />)
 
Some new emoticons for you guys.
First of all, what is a pirate forum without a skull? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/328_skull.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":328_skull:" border="0" alt="328_skull.gif" /> for this one: : 328_ skull : (without the spaces <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />)
Cylon likes to turn thunder upon other peoples heads: <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/334_flashing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flashing:" border="0" alt="334_flashing.gif" /> : flashing :
And last of all: <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/389_robber.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":robber:" border="0" alt="389_robber.gif" /> the robber, which moves his eyes! : robbers :

(Not by me!)
 
I tried my hand at a new Logo for the Greynight skin. If you have some request or tips to improve it, please post!
 
Haha. Nice. Any chance of an improved version for the IPB 2.2.0 one as well? That's the one I use; I don't like the others much.
 
Splendid! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Flashing icon here! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" /> *goes to find another socket* <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/334_flashing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flashing:" border="0" alt="334_flashing.gif" />
