'listed on the index' and 'can be posted in' are two different settings. The name/description of the former aren't 100% clear, either.

It was hidden from the main list but for whatever reason never had posting privileges turned off. Probably safe to blame Radium.

Yes, the Olympics forum was left open on accident, but unlisted, last year. I found it when the iPhone app had a bug and it took me to a random forum :iiam:

Secret forums are sometimes cool. GameFAQs made a forum for every video game ever released so you could just pick some random Vectrex VIC-20 game nobody ever bought and make it your secret clubhouse with your posting pals. I didn't know we had them here though

I honestly miss how.. archival this sort of thing was. Every year or so on the ancient ancient ones that had become some weird Dragonball RP forum or something you'd have someone wander in like "hey i remember this game what are all these posts"

So yesterday morning I went to a couple stores down here in the South Florida area looking for amiibos. At a TRU in Pines 20 minutes after they opened, I noticed a Sonic on hold behind the counter with a note saying "FOR KEVIN'S AUTISTIC SON". Angry that some rear end in a top hat put one of these on hold, I left home to wait for my Majora's Mask LE New 3DS to arrive via UPS. Well today after lunch my girlfriend and I went by TRU to see what was going on. You know, JUST IN CASE. Sonic was still on hold! I know by prior experience that TRU can only have an item on hold for 24 hours so I had her go in to the store (she was still in the car) and say she was Kevin's wife and was here to pick up Sonic. It was a success. I got my Sonic and some rear end in a top hat learned his lesson to pick up his toys on hold within the allocated time given by TRU.

The amiibo thread never disappoints.

Huh; I never noticed that.

It was relatively recent that they stopped wiping avatars and play though. I want to say 2019? If you look at Bust Rodd’s rapsheet that’ll basically tell you, he was the one that got that changed after he auto banned and all his poo poo got wiped off his account.

E:Early 2020, so even more recent than that!

autobans have never wiped out your poo poo when you ban because of some stupid radium script thing that invokes the bit that turns your avatar into a link the lepers colony, but doesnt actually invoke the bit that replaces your avatar with the banned avatar and title

now when you rebuy an account, all your poo poo gets wiped at that point instead because again radium
