That show rocked. And of course the Tele Latino channel was always good for some late night soft core. That soft core stuff back then went a long way, now there's so much hard core that's so accessible that it loses some of it's zing.

This. It's 2015 for crying out loud.

But it's actually a good thing not everyone knows about it. Realgm needs all the ad clicks they can get to upgrade their weak servers.

City TV's Blue Movies for me.
Now that RGM is getting all this revenue for these as, I guess they'll guarantee that the servers continue to work properly.
I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I complained about this in the General Board and was directed here, clearly Howard Mass doesn't give a **** since he isn't replying to complains about this.

This mods is why I posted in the General Board, 'cause it's where it will be seen.

No, that's not correct at all. If you'd been paying attention to the Feedback forum, you'd see that Howard posts in rounds, when he has time to do it. You'd also see that there are other mods who post in these threads, be times, such as myself. You might also wonder if there wasn't some other location for the mods to discuss various issues behind the scenes. Spoiler: there is. This topic is already being discussed.

So your vitriol towards Howard is misplaced, unwarranted and not at all courteous. It has no place on these boards, so please, mind yourself.

Don't. The boards are set up in this fashion for a reason. This forum has a very specific purpose and it functions very well. It also bears mention that the team involved in fixing various things like this is stretched pretty thin across a variety of issues, and consequently doesn't always have time to respond right away. Or did you not read the OP to notice that it was posted at quarter to 5 yesterday? We're not all bots trawling the forums to respond instantaneously, we do have day jobs, Entropy.

Be respectful, even when you're frustrated.

Yeah but I posted about the Ad on another thread about the ad two days ago and I wasn't the only one, also ignored. I did read the OP as well, this is like the 3rd thread about this problematic ad. If I want to show some vitriol towards Howard I will, I hope he is adult enough to not fear words and understand that sometimes people will be just pissed. Of course I'll probably get a warning for calling out Howard or a mod because that's what RealGM does, warn people for calling out the faults of people in power.

Because you are both frustrated and not privy to the process involved in handling these issues, I am affording you leniency with respect to your behavior in this thread so far. That ends now.

I have said it before but you are not listening. We mnow about this problem nit IS being addressed. This jas been discussed in more than one thread, and those threads include responses from myself. There is also correspondence you cannot see, so you conducting yourself like a 5 year-old is doing no extra good.

Attempting to kvetch and mope as if Howard is at fault in any way is asinine and borders on intentional baiting without purpose or potential positive effect. For the last time, mind yourself.

The square ads were a glitch from one of our advertisers and we had them removed as quickly as possible when they first appeared on Wednesday.
