Has anyone bought Winds of Dune yet?

[Khan]

I love his account - AIM: REALNAME. Sounds convincing...

You know, Penny Arcade once had a podcast a few years ago where they said that the true apex of guerrilla/"viral" marketing would be corporate domination of gaming message boards and forums like ours. What's terrifying is that I think it's really starting to catch on and this may not even be a bot--but a real, live, bored-as-hell human being doing this for a pathetic, $20K, 9-to-5 job because that's all his worthless community college degree could get him, because it certainly won't get him laid... Well, that's what I hope at least.

*EDIT: Even more offensive, go check out the latest members to have registered under "Forum Stats". We got a guy whose personal website is "online casino." I suppose that if they don't post, they don't hurt, but to think that we're dedicating any sort of resources toward maintaining their accounts doesn't sit well with me.

I do think we need a cull of members who have no posts.  Obviously I don't have the power to do this myself, but I volunteer to do it if someone gives me those powers.

[Dante]

Let me do it. I can be trusted. >:D

[Wolf]

Oh, definitely let Dante do it.

We already have quite a few moderators with the power to make inconvenient people disappear - er, I mean, delete accounts. I can do that, for example. Heh heh heh...

But anyway, I think Gob already takes time every few months to delete all accounts older than X years who have no posts.

I'm vaguely disturbed by the "as above" bit.

Huh?

[Dunenewt]

I think its just spam, doesn't seem to be in reference to anything in the thread.

(You know, sometimes I really worry about you ... you seem to have the same affliction as Omphalos ... severe literalism. ;) )

Too early in the morning for double entendres, or anything similar.  All these new posts, and still noone new seems to have read the book.

[MrFlibble]

All these new posts, and still noone new seems to have read the book.

I thought the topic was about having bought the book, not having actually read it :D

In all seriousness though, we need more interesting topics about Dune, rather than just "Have you read the new book? - Yeah. - Okay." stuff.
