Yes. Sometimes you can't remember their exact account name, which is probably why you're searching for them in the first place. Most people are known better by their nicks than by their accounts. eg. Crono/Gerami ^_^

If one obviously does not remember the account name of a person why can't they simply look at a list?

CidNight1142 is on a distinguished road
I have to say that it would be nice to have it back. It is a serious pain to find people when you don't know their names exactly. I think we can handle it. Most 'spam' that happens here is fairly mature stuff that is deemed spam for other reasons. I just don't see alot of poop and pee jokes being thrown around here. Honestly, this is the most mature forum I have ever been a part of, and I've never truly understood why we're so mistrusted.

I also agree with bringing it back. I believe I saw somewhere once that it was removed because it was lagging down the server or something?

But really... this is a feature that is commonplace on nearly every internet forum. Don't see the big deal about having it enabled. You mention it would create spam... but really, it's getting people to post more often... Which is something this forum desperately needs. If you remember back a couple years ago this forum was very active and had hundreds of people actively posting each day... Now we have like 30-50 people actively posting each day...

Days go by with no new posts in the general discussion... I mean... what's with that?

I am sure unixmad has good reason for it to be disabled.

Agreed 100%.

Oh, and I do remember once hearing that the members list was disabled because of lag, which is ridiculous, rofl.

But yeah, what is so wrong with people wanting to up their post count? As long as the subject material isn't against the rules (which would be fixed by the rules), then more posting = better.

I remember loriel and then saying it was a bad idea something about the tables blah blah... **** it man. Graal has like a few active posters compared to other communities, wonder why?

No cool features, not even the basic ones. Moderators are acting like this is some sort of professional job or something, like come on, ****ing relax.

The forums are an auxiliary service as addition to the game. You don't have pay for forum access, you have to pay to play the game.

You need VIP/Gold to post constantly, it's a feature.
