The Game was abandonware so therefore not pirated.
I may have advocated finding jim lad versions of stuff for games nite, which I grant you was naughty, but I did say to get rid after games nite or buy the game.

The big images thing tbh Had no idea it was a bone of contention .
I never read much of what Trig wrote and ignored all the disccussions surrounding what to do about him. I just thought he was mainly argumentative for the shake of it and always trying to push people for a reaction so I ignored him.

I am of course more than happy to resize images but in the modern days of fast pipe broadband I normally just copy the urls and stick em in, and think no more about it.
If it is more polite I will take the extra 10secs and resize it.
(although don't we have an automatic resizer now as standard in Beehive?)

I do think having the images in the post rather than a link is better though. (Mainly cos it adds a bit of colour and I'm personally too lazy to click on the links)

Same applys to Youtube stuff, I'd rather it was embedded in the post than having to go to youtube for it.
Also it allows you to maintain the flow of the thread, look at the recent favourite kids tv thread.

Would have been much less interesting if you had to keep following links to you tube come back move down the page follow the link etc etc.

Isn't that what we all do here???

 

:Y

Haha.

 

Yeah, like I said I'm not getting at you, I personally couldn't give a shit about the size of images in a thread, or pirate software or whatever. Didn't know Airfix was abandonware, though.

 

I'm more amused by the way it seems that people complained about things trig did because they were done by trig, rather than because the things themselves were actually annoying.

 

I dunno. I'm just blathering, really.

 

Stella? Don't mind if I do.

My only contention about the images thing is that it's annoying getting a horizontal scroll bar from huge images so I have to scroll left & right to read the post itself.

 

Airfix Dogfighter - I still want to play sometime. I've done most of the single player missions and want to kill some real people now!

Starcraft? Anyone?

I'm not a good player (at ALL), but... it's Starcraft !!! therefore it's awesome. And I got all nostalgic and sh!t a couple of days back (after looking at Starcraft II for ages) and I bought SC and Brood Wars for £7.something (cheer) .

Beehive now supports auto-shrinking images to prevent horozontal scrollbars.

Hmm, odd. I'm sure that a few hours ago, I was getting a horizontal scrollbar on post number 1 in this thread due to the Half Life image.

The page may not have fully loaded? Possibly. The image resizer kicks in when the page has loaded. You may have noticed it for the split second before it resized them. Just a thought.

That's entirely plausible.
