on the main page?

It's like an advertisement or something. Or a clever trick to lure in Google search bots for page ranks.

I don't like seeing that tosser's name tbh.

signatures are stupid.

i think that is a valid statement. Haven't we past the mark that he is even relevant to this community other that a footnote?

ya, I think it has been long enough that it would be okay to get rid of it or at least take it away from the main page

Getting rid of it completely might not be wise, but yeah, the front page is not the place for it. Is there an archive on this site?

I accidentally emailed him the other day with a return to Sanct message. I don't think he's gonna play this reset though.

I generally play through the mobile page so I'm not sure what it looks like, but I'd assume it's under a news or blog announcment segment. Maybe you all need to do or make something worthy of posting onthose entries to push it off the main page?

If that's not the case then ignore this post

I actually just found out about his connection to the game last night because of the main page. =/

When I started playing a couple days ago I thought it was about people making off jokes about it and didn't pay it no mind.

ZDH: He was a player in a few alliances back in the day, the media feeding frenzy took note of the fact that he played a game where one goal can be to kill another country

Yeah, but EE is basically just a clone of Earth 2025, with updates and an active admin group. There's differences, but not enough for the media to try to make something out of nothing.

EDIT: I doubt there's any size difference for the media to try to make something out of nothing...

I don't think Dagga understands how Googlebot works :p

I think we removed the one entry... the 2nd should get pushed down as we add more blog posts

in all honesty, we're all just busy still and our focus has been on other stuff.
I've spent all my EE time making war page updates or doing bug fixes for the last month. we need a MAJOR content refresh regardless, but it's on the backburner :(
