Congrats, on your continued development towards Arcanaville 1.1. Your posts are informative and chock full of more thought and analysis than I would ever pretend to aspire to, and even when I may disagree I appreciate your contributions to the forum voice.

However, almost every post of yours is worth the time to read. Kudos for all you've done for the community.1.1 is getting the Ultra Mode graphics, too, right?

Also, yay for AV 1.1! Can't wait for the next content update. Though I've wished for years to join the ranks of the Forum Cartel, or at least some kind of custom title, I don't think I have the necessary chutzpah to do it.

I'd like to make a feature request, if I may?
As part of the licensing fee required to install Arcanaville 1.1 on a forum, that forum should be required to install an additional fact-checker app. This app will be triggered by attempting to submit a post containing unverified or incorrect information, or subjective viewpoints presented as fact. At this point a digitized hand will emerge from the person's screen and slap them, saying "No! Bad poster! Bad!!!" Then it will delete the post, log them out of their account, and change their password to a random mathematical formula.
...
Also, thanks for all the informative and entertaining posts. 
Every time I read one I think to myself, "I like the way this person thinks."

That feature was removed in version 0.9 due to a high rate of customer complaints. It may have had something to do with the design of the hand.
