I read in a thread around a week ago that there were some articles that were deleted awhile ago for being somewhat controversial. Is this true? If so, what was so controversial?

Saying that would be defeating the point of removing the articles, wouldn''t it

Don''t hide the truth madkeith. I will find out about these articles. MARK MY WORDS I WILL LEARN ABOUT THE ARTICLES AND THE SECRETS HELD WITHIN!

I remember reading something about an AI article that had been removed by a mod and a nasty message was put there instead. I won''t name the mod as I see no reason to embarrass the guy (he apologized for it, so lets forget it).
I think it was written by Geoff Howland(?) and some people thought that it wasn''t accurate/useful(?), although I never saw it myself.
I *think* that might be what you''re refering to.

If I seem deliberately evasive, it''s because I really have no idea what you''re talking about.

I deny everything!

That was a *long* time ago. And it wasn''t a mod, we don''t have that power. The article was restored by the same person and an apology was made. End of story.

Awww... that''s it? And here I was, hoping for a long and confusing story about the horrid past of gamedev

Sorry about that then, its just it must have come up somewhere recently otherwise I would never have known about it. I thought maybe thats what black_mage_s was talking about.
I cant remember it exactly anyway, just remembered a name cropping up that I thought was a mod. Disregard my post everyone

I do believe that my Relationship Advice thread got deleted.

Oh well.




I thought you did it.
