Sony's lack of security is at a seemingly institutional level. Unless they clear out ALL people involved with security and pay through the ass for security expertese then they are always open.

Spoke to my old man on the weekend who's done work for many high profile finance institutions and government departments on user security and authentication. All he knows is what he's read in the newspaper and for him it came down to something very simple - "they're not a software company, they don't understand why it's important".

Pffft. Bumping old threads is now a bannable offense, it's in the TOS/Etiquette FAQ. It's not they're problem that you guys aren't civil enough to check and adhere to such rules.

I always found that rule silly (unless its like a 4 year old thread). Its better to add to a discussion thats already taken place instead of building a totally new one that treads on similar ground.

But it seems like 1 year old threads are now out of scope. Good to know.

Robo · « **Reply #2489 on:** May 10, 2011, 12:42:26 AM »

Pretty much. Even barring the discussion that's taken place, in making a new thread you'd have to repost the OP again (or link to it) for context anyway.

Because he probably didn't know it was made by Evolve PR? The PR firm made the post and Evilore probably just gave the OP the stuff to put in it.

I actually don't care about the giant ot threads outside of two specific issues.

1.) It's sort of a symptom of that group think let's hype shit to death menality that I dislike. I notice the threads with the most massive ot's tend to contain the most annoying fans. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
2.) The anti-ot threads where everybody pats themselves on the back for creating a negative one for whatever current backlash trend is going on for the moment.

I don't even believe that 95% of people even read those opening posts. They just tend to be an ego excercise for fans of a particular game. "Hey look man. We got the baddest op. It's three posts long!"

And in full disclosure yes I made a few ot threads in my gaf days.

Now *this* is shady and snuggler is an idiot if he truly couldn't figure it out. Either way, it's one of the least offensive OPs so I really don't care. Wake me up when one of BruceLeeRoy's threads gets publicly exposed the same way. I'll personally throw the first stone, right after I wipe my ass with it.

I'm probably really jaded but I don't see the big deal. If the OP is supposed to be just informational without being all kiss ass (like they all are anyway) who cares who makes it. The discussion is supposed to be what drives the thread. Not the OP.

For me the difference between a company mouth piece and a raging fanboy on a message board is so narrow anyway.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #2511 on:** May 10, 2011, 08:45:29 PM »

The difference is that BruceLeeRoy is a kiss-ass, and solely responsible for the bloated OTs trend.

But I'm not gonna lie, I often read OPs of OTs (especially for games that went under my radar), as long as they're informative and not obscenely stretched by dozens of distracting hi-res banners, more than not. Also, the less it reads like a press release or a copy/pasta the better, which sadly isn't the case for most high profile games' OTs.

At least snuggler got something for his advertisement. Unlike those other fools that make official threads that have 10 posts filled with 100's of images.

I feel the same. Hell why not have all ot threads sponsored by game companies. They all read that way to me anyway.
