And here I thought it was rude to waste the time of authorities with false alerts or poorly defined problems...
I can do it too, you know: The who's online list is broken and all it shows is oggtheclever. Is oggtheclever really the only person online? Is this some sort of april fools day prank devised by adrian? Because it's seriously a lame prank that is disrupting how the forum works.
And if your wonder, the above (like it seems with your post, but don't judge me too hard for falling into a sarchasm) is untrue nonsense that would only waste the time of the governing body. Shall we call out "FIRE!" to the firefighters on their way to an actual fire? Might we call out "ROBBER!" to the policeman who is quietly observing a law-abiding (lol?) populace? Will we scream out "RAPE!!!!! HELP!!!!!" to the populace at large when all that is occurring is you being an asshole that wants to waste people's time and troll them?
Alternately, if you actually were having a problem: IT JUST DOESN"T FUCKING WORK!
That's not unlike dialing 911 and yelling "FIRE!" and then failing to state *where*, or any other information. Or telling the kind policeman that you were robbed and failing to suggest who stole from you, when, and what it was. At least with rape or generally yelling in an area with other people around, people can follow a voice... but if you are raped and you don't state by whom (what?) or when: it doesn't do anyone any bloody good!
Now, if instead you said "I can only access the forum via my mobile phone, my PC can't access the forum (but it can access every other site), can you help (please)?" ----> We wouldn't have the issue of not knowing what the problem is (Your ambiguous 'I can't access the forum!' helps nobody), and you hopefully wouldn't be wasting people's time intentionally.
/endlesson, any questions and I'll set my dog upon you. Fear Pearl!
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
