People with custom titles get attacked by users on the forums sometimes.

Zac, if you want a title, just name it

By the way, when do I get my “Growl dev” title?

If you want that instead of forum mod, let me know.

Yeah, I ended up realizing that you probably were. Oh well.

I'd ask for a title but I have absolutely no idea what I want mine to be. How about "Xtras Dev"?

I'd ask for a title of "Poster of no importance", but since I am a poster of no importance, I wouldn't get a title.

And thus, the circle is complete.

Yes...we are but mere peasants (hm...how about every "normal" poster gets the title of "A Mere Peasant"?

)...but this is pretty much completely off topic, eh? I guess since the devs started it, it's ok. Right?

Haha well actually I started it really, and I have no custom title. And I'm certainly not a dev

at least, imho

I'm don't agree. Look at Blizzard downloader for example. It works quiet good even for non-geeks.

Indeed I do want Growl dev instead of Forum mod.

That reminds me… I should develop a little

Two steps to using a torrent:
1.) Get said torrent.
2.) Get a client
OPTIONAL:
3.) Open torrent.

This is still geeky, I agree with tick. Most people are too dumb for this and i dont think the devs [or anyone] can be bothered to explain how bittorrent works to the probably hundreds (out of all the downloads adium gets) of people who dont get it.

4) WHY IS IT SO SLOW?!
5) Google for WHY IS IT SO SLOW?!
6) Go to router login
7) Oops, forgot router admin password
8) Call linksys support
9) Map ports
10) Oops, client changed ips in the dhcp table
11) Remap it
12) Oh, now it's going faster. 3 days later.

Seriously

Added some custom titles based on how many times you have posted. And this post should end the off topicness of this thread, make a new one if you want to in the chat away section about this.

Torrents are blocked on campus for me. Do you have any idea how much I've tried, and that I can't get past their blocks? They're very good. They are very, very good. The only way I can see getting through it is an SSH tunnel which I am: 1) too lazy to do, 2) not interested in bothering with, 3) unable to see a normal user.

It's never that simple.
