» About The Chaos Engine |
The Chaos Engine is a non-profit site run by a small group of volunteers. We are all video game industry professionals and of course, are passionate about games. The site is primarily centered around our forums. The direction and content of the site is driven by the needs and suggestions presented by our private forums members.
The site was started in 2003 to answer the need of gaming industry professionals for a forum and meeting place for news and conversation about the industry. There are many public forums on the Internet, but unfortunately most professionals become tired of the public attention they draw. The private forums on The Chaos Engine require that members authenticate their status in the industry before joining. We do however have public forums and we welcome everyone with an interest in games to join and participate. We have a large membership of professionals, many of whom who read and participate in the public forums.

Has now been banned permanently.
Reason* being that rather than have any unpleasant issues dragged back to the fore, it's better to just do away with the person who might want to do that. And if we have to choose between Mathematix and Puppy then I know who gets my vote.
I took this upon myself, this was not discussed with the other Admin or you, the people. That fucker isn't coming back on these boards while I'm around.
Cheers,
Prof.
* The other reason was that he pissed me off before 10am and my first cup of coffee

A Short Lesson |

The recent kerfuffle in Irrelevant Corner has resulted in a ban for one of the users concerned and another member has quite publicly stated their intention to leave the boards. Amongst other things, it is quite clear that this could affect the reputation - if such a thing should exist - of The Chaos Engine as a decent and largely civil place for games developers to congregate.
There are two things to remember here for future reference.- The Admin and the Mods won't step in until people start requesting it directly. We don't get paid, we have our own lives to lead and our own jobs to do. If you want us to do something, please ask.
- Watch what you're saying and watch who you're saying it to... Just because you think something is acceptable, it doesn't mean someone else does. And visa versa. And here's a tip for those of you who lack common sense: It is acceptable to agree to disagree and walk away. Your opinion is just that, it doesn't mean you're right.
This is a good website and there are a lot of excellent people here talking about games, talking about random crap and everything inbetween. Let's not regress to a Fatbabies state, shall we?
If you have any questions or comments about this, please PM me.
Cheers,
Prof.

We havent forgotten you...
Unfortunately its more I than we. Its pretty much entirely down to me, and trust me it can take time to process requests. Lots of it.
Unfortunately I am not paid to do this job, nor do I really have loads of time spare for it, but I do my best, and recently both my work life and home life have beggered belief (by recently I mean the last year or so  )
I am hoping to make some time this weekend to process some, and then take it from there, a little at a time.
In the meantime, if you know someone who is a member, you can speed up the process by getting them to vouch for you - get them to drop me a PM, and that will effectively queue jump you (of course if I get thousands of vouches, then I'm similarly stuck, but they are faster to process). Otherwise, hang in there, I will get to you, it just takes time.
Thankyou for your patience.
