advice to people

when the bonk! appears just go to the address bar and just re-enter gamespot and your post will still be there without having a load of spam messages

Better advice is to right click to open a new tab, faster and safer too.

What I like is that 1 time they say they are fixing it, and because it was not fixed in 45 seconds 45 threads were made claiming the adminsitration is bogus for no reason at all. Really now? I just click on fuse first before going on the forums and never get a bonk message as a result. just click on that once a day you login and wait until the frequency goes down. I don't think it's necessary for the Admins or the voluntary mods to answer to 55 threads calling them stupid that were all made 45 seconds after they stated they are addressing the problem/. With new threads being made everyday, it's like a cyber-riot but with a bunch of impatient kindergarden children.StatusShuffle
Should I also perform a lap dance in front of my monitor?

That a site is supposed to just work, without having to do tricks.

I guess next time I want to do x on this site I'll try pressing every other button in case it pulls some secret lever that makes the site more cooperative when I try to do x again.

It's not a trick, Fuse is part of the problem, clicking on fuse removes it. But hey, let's make 45 threads instead of waiting a full 3 MINUTES to see if they respond or maybe see if in a few days of not bothering them something changes.

Bullsh*t nonsense threads is what OT is all about. We could make more of an effort to engage in sensible, intelligent thought, but that requires effort, effort which we spend telling each other about nonsense sh*t.

It is a trick, ie a method of making something work that is not the designated one.

Do I need to explain it further?

Your following comment is irrelevant to what I just told you.

There's alos this thing where users use the multi post glitch on purpose like that's going to make Jody and the tech team randomly fix the bug in 5 seconds. How about actually allowing something to be done. You do not need an answer for every 55 threads, there's not even enough admins or voluntary mods for that crap.

I'm assuming there's a level requirement to become a ranger or a mod.

Not sure though.

Really this bonk!'s are annoying. But on the bright side, at least the board is valid.

Edit: of course I got "bonk" when I posted this post.

I'm really surprised they haven't switched the forum code to something that works yet. This is the first non-BONK post I've had in days. Ironic it is in this thread.

Well actually, by locking the thread it eliminates the possibility of someone posting in that thread and receiving a 'bonk' screen. So I say, just lock every thread, then no more problems.

They should just shut down the site for a few days then fix whatever is causing the bonk before it cripples the entire site.

Locking threads to stop people from complaining, instead of actually fixing anything - precisely what I'd expect from this place.
