    Exclamation I want the casual talk regarding pirating games to stop.

    Some of you have gotten a bit too vocal about your stealing of games.

    Some of you have gone as far to posting "nudge nudge wink wink PM me if you want a link" in numerous threads as well.

    And I want it to stop now.

    Offenders will be warned, repeat offenders will be banned.

    You know its against the AUP, so stop. It really is that simple.

    Timber is a curving frame branching outward from the keel of a ship and bending upward in a vertical direction that is usually composed of several pieces united. And...shiver is 2 : to tremble in the wind as it strikes first one and then the other side (of a sail) transitive senses : to cause (a sail) to shiver by steering close to the wind. (Merriam-Webster online).

    Shiver me/my timber.I can't find any authority to agree, but I thought that this was another saying derived from sailing ships. It certainly seems firmly attached to pirates. I think the saying represents the shock of a large wave hitting a wooden ship broadside and causing the hull to shudder. In other words, it expresses shock or surprise.
    There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop.

    Pfffft, I just see this as censorship, but we will conform because we all love these forums. Sides, who wants to be banned for talking about a subject that everyone else talks about? Not I... uhh that's for sure.
