While that's technically true, since RPG directors are moderators of the RPG section, they shouldn't be mixed into the moderators list like that, but if it's to be kept that way the lists with "RPG director" and "moderators" listed should be deleted, as it shows two sets of names twice.

This is how the staff list should look (but tidier mind you)

The Arcade is back up. Any old data is gone though.

Eh?

Funny you should say that, I just removed the link a few minutes ago. I couldn't even find what plugin that was. Doubt anyone used it anyway.

The staff list is fine as is

I believe Saix said that we would be getting an AKA field instead of having the previous username box back again. I know someone said that the feature wouldn't be returning, because as Zack pointed out, it can really stretch profiles.

It was then suggested that we might receive a new field in our profiles, in which we can enter our previous usernames ourselves, presumably.

Not if it didn't work, hahah. In fairness, it did work briefly when Darkblade owned the site but that was abruptly over, long ago. I just saw an oppurtunity to get it back up and running, there.

I feel the need to emphasise how impressed I am with the speed at which everything is being rectified. ;D

EDIT:
I already notice you have a trophy from the Arcade, Golbez. I've seen these trophies on other forums - when members start to accumulate trophies, the posts can become somewhat elongated due to the number of awards. I'm not sure if you've seen that before. If not, it might be better to somehow store those trophies in our profiles, instead of posts. Or just turn them off altogether.

EDIT II:
But ... the staff list looks ridiculously long. xD

S'all good. With vB, it only puts one trophy in the postbit, and with the drop down menu when you click a user's name, includes games they've conquered the highscores of, but putting all the main stuff above it.

You never stop complaining, it's all you do when something is wrong, you're the first to point it out to everyone even when it's nothing worth noting.

I'm not experiencing any problems at the moment, then again I don't browse here that often, just the odd bit of downtime.

That might explain it, then. It was InvisionFree, where I saw that, haha. Refrain from your criticism.

EDIT:
'Tis what I do best, good Finn.

It was removed for security reasons. Nothing to do with stretching profiles. Admins can set how many names are displayed, though this is one of the main reasons to look at a profile, so I don't see it being a problem.

The username management plugin is quite good, so this is not necessary

If it becomes a problem, we'll address it.

It's fine

Seriously, "fixing" that would probably require a bit of effort, and there's really not much reason to.
