No one gets them though.

$vbulletin->userinfo[username], you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    Usually this is due to you not having the particular game registered on your forum account. For example to post in or download from the HOI3 Sub forums (AAR ,User made Modification, FAQ, Support ...), or to Start a new thread in the HOI3 discussion forum, you need to have HOI3 registered under your forum account. See this thread for How & Why to register your games' ); ?>
    Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    Additionally, If you are a new member that has not registered a game you may be required to wait 5 days before posting (anti spam measure).
    If not, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

If you fear your account might have been disabled without knowing why, you should contact the Forum Administration. Do not re-register under a new name!

   I've never forgotten that post.  Thanks for linking to it; haven't seen it since that thread was active (though I think it has been linked since).

Is that thread the origin of our " He's putting himself at an immediate disadvantage." meme, because I thought i was a general internet one.

[Darth Wagtaros]

That thread survived until 2006?

[KRonn]

Hehe, I don't remember that one.

Depends on who you are including in 'our', but I am rather sure anyone associated with Paradox got it from that thread.

Christ, that was a long time ago.  Damn.  I miss some of those guys.  Allenby, Top Cat, Steele...  All gone.  Like tears in the rain.

Probably the most legendary post on the Paradox forums.

Back when I was a lurker. 

[Jaron]

I didn't even post in that thread. I must have been banned.

[Scipio]

Best post ever.

Christ, I miss Top Cat.
