I've never even been to FG so I don't care about this stupid rivalry. :P I want to keep my damn user notes.

Yes, the force is strong in that one.

Fool's Gold has posts, so we'll probably do away with those next. Stay tuned!

possibly because

Aaron's notoriously lazy

FG

is not EoFF in any way, and not something that we aspire to be.

I mean, I know some forums that have spam forums, but that doesn't mean we have to do it here. I also know some forums that require a moderator to approve any post that you make, but that doesn't mean we have to do it here.

I think we should make it so members have to approve moderators posts

Yes, please. and I say we put Baloki in charge of this!

People have always complained that they don't go straight to the latest usernote. With public messages, you can. People have complained that they can't warn usernotes. With public messages, you can. People have complained that they can't delete other people's usernotes on their profile. I'm not sure if public messages can do this! Hopefully they can.

Some people like a challenge

I'm sensing that the particular choice of staffers there is not accidental, and I can't see the relation. Perhaps if you spell it out for me in small, monosyllabic words I shall be able to fashion a suitably humorous reply.

I trust your instincts too much to force humour out of you.

It will take effort, but we're trying it anyway. But regardless of whether or not the information can be copied over, the usernotes are going to get deleted. That's what I'm getting at - we won't be using both.
