The current SomethingAwful composition has gotten to the point in the past year or two where GBS makes slightly more sense than D&D but is still a dumb place.
You can tell of its quality by looking at grover's house.
To fix these issues I thinka few things should be done to the main website; I realize it's Goon Run but seriously, the download page is shoddy as hell.
The font is all the same size, SUPER BIG and disorganized. I think we'd get a lot fewer dumb questions if it was trimmed down a bit, using a normal font size with tables and lists.
Why don't you guys use bittorrent protocols for the mods the Launcher downloads? Have a few torrents users can download to be dedicated seeds and whatnot.
Also putting the Servers up on a torrent is a no-brainer, seeing as those are direct downloads.
The Launcher is only 52 KB so no worries there.
Also to everybody discussing adfly as a solution, lol.
Buildcraft pumps, when placed, scan the water in the chunk/area. After that it randomly picks a spot to pull water from, so in a 3x3 pool it doesn't matter, each of the 9 blocks has an equal chance to be pumped.
I blame yogscast for the kellers. i mean they have cardboard cutouts of sexualised videogame characters in their apartment, what sort of userbase do you expect :p
I tried out Better than Wolves because I really liked the windmill/gear/anchor concepts.
Also I think the HELEN KELLER meme is inviting more trolls than warding off idiots.
