[QUOTE=slapdown3;52807289]So what things can be changed on accounts without breaking the forums?
Names are apparently off the table in general, so are things like post count and join date unchangeable as well?[/QUOTE]
Well post count is technically changeable because when they made Fast Threads stop counting, a lot of people lost post numbers. I'm not sure about join date. Though I'm wondering why they would change those things other than making posts count/not count? :huh:
Damn it postal :v: You type too fast.
Well to be more specific, how hard would it be to create a duplicate of an already existing account by editing a new account?
This is purely hypothetical of course
[QUOTE=helifreak;52807282]You have the wysiwyg editor on.[/QUOTE]Well that would make sense, how do I turn in off?

You know, not to be mean, but I suspect that only makes sense to people who already understand it. (and i certainly don't know how that stuff works)
If you intended to come with like an explanation or something, maybe try forming a sentence? :v:

Unsure what I was doing at the moment, believe it was just a quick direct reply between tasks
[QUOTE=postal;52807297]I can sorta get post count I guess but why would you want to change your join date?[/QUOTE]
Have an old account that has a much earlier join date. Would be kind of nice to be able to change my join date on this account to reflect that I suppose.
10 years ago today I made this account.
Crazy.
Where has the time gone?
Like many others, I came here for Gmod/HL2 discussion and stuck around for... I don't know. You're all a bunch of angry nerds on the internet, but i guess you're my preferred bunch of angry nerds on the internet.
I came for Garry's Mod, and I stayed for the people.
i came here because kongregate is a fucking cesspool
I came for Major Update Speculation over in the TF2 section. I initially was a bit apprehensive over getting attached here because I saw how strict the moderation was from lurking, but I decided to give it a chance. It made me a better poster and I've really come to appreciate it, since it asks for good posting out of people.
The higher standard in discussions and moderation here even helped me out personally speaking too.
Not to mention, even though the forums were initially based primarily around Garry's Mod, I really appreciate that the forums grew to accommodate genuinely intelligent and insightful comments about a wide variety of topics. I stopped posting super frequently about TF2 here a while back, but I've stuck around because I really love the community here and how insightful the posts are, as well as the different perspectives.
Keep on keeping on, Facepunch. :class:
I have an older account I don't use
but I started posting a lot on the zombiemaster.org forums regarding ttt discussion and dev,
Then I started posting a lot on the gmod forums when their forums weren't getting enough traffic for my schoolwork procrastination.
Just stuck there for a while
now I never really post there any more
I came here asking for help with gmod which was met with "don't help this person as they are just going to leave and never come back" :v:
That was 7 years ago...

[QUOTE=Firegod522;23192907]Hes probably not going to come back for a while... He wants us to add him on steam. :geno:[/QUOTE]
Only reason I ever came here was because someone on another forum linked to [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1020084"]this thread[/URL]. Probably wouldn't have joined if it wasn't for that
I came here thinking i could get one of those steam codes for the next version of gmod.
I was wrong. :v:

famalam Afromana helped me with my first issue, glad to see them still around

It's been a long time since I last messed with vBulletin but I don't believe that stuff is available through the admin control panel. Like Garry's join date, however, it is nonetheless available by editing the forum database directly. I think only Garry can do that though.

I came here because of GMod addons and only even bought GMod to begin with because my best friend kept pestering me about it. So if any of you dislike me you can blame him for my sticking around. Totally his fault.
I was a 15 year old unapologetically shameless idiot when I joined, I think it was to ask questions to the developer of [url="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=977939"]faphack[/url], lots of familiar faces in that thread, that takes me way back.
Earliest thing I remember posting was an image macro that got me banned I think, can't seem to find that though.
It really feels bizarre looking back several years and realizing how much of a different person I am, I almost hate who I was back then.
I can say without a doubt that joining this forum changed me for the better, and that sounds stupid but it's true.
I can't remember exactly why I joined facepunch all I remember is that I joined because of my love for garry's mod, I didn't post much but what I did post was pretty low quality.
I found Gmod by accident one time when browsing some dumb but funny mods for HL2 with my friend. I remember the very first thing I did was attach thrusters to Dogs limbs and laugh my ass off. Then I found this forum and posted terrible poses and comics made in Gmod.
It's been a couple of years, yeah.
I came here a in like 2009 I think on a different account, I don't really remember the reason and I have been here for a while I just never really posted because my opinion doesn't mean anything. Fun to read stuff though, lots of info on here.
I ran a gmod server in 2006-2007, stopped because less and less people were going to it. I joined to ask questions about how to install Ulysses mod other shit like that, then left FP when I stopped playing gmod, in favour of TF2 , then came back in 2011. I was like 18 when I first joined.

Fuck you're old.
[QUOTE=helifreak;52808179]Fuck you're old.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I'm pretty depressed about it.
I joined when I was 16. First posts were gmod posing things.
I quickly learned I wasn't good at it.
joined in '09, got pbanned for leaking GMF content in '10 (i wasnt even a gold member) then made this account in '11 after a year of lurking. I was 13 when I joined and I'm 21 now. I think I found this forum after Googling 'Garry's Mod forum'.
