You know it's bad when the mods or admins have a go at someone. :P

I always thought "Arby Fab" was a tad.... odd.

I don't recall his real persona, e.g. posts on the official forums and such, but... yeah.

My two cents.

EDIT: What has science done!?

It's more of an in-joke that everybody's in on. His Moderator # persona (I forget the exact number but I know it was definitely the one who was unmasked as Fab) seemed to have a thing for locking "necro" posts, even if the reply that triggered it was only a month later, completely on-topic, and the thread was still relevant.

It happened often enough for it to be noticed and become a running gag. :)

Fab was Moderator 8? I didn't know that. I guess it makes sense..

And my apologies Guy. I thought the red boxes meant moderator. I've been lied to!

Nononononono. Ocho was awesome. Arbiter Fabulous was Moderator13.

I never knew Fab was anyone. I just thought he was some guy that somehow got popular. I RP'd with him once when he first came around. I let him redesign the character I was playing. But honestly, he didn't do a good job. That's not an insult so much as just me being picky about how my own creations look.

So.... Fab was Freitag too?

Quote " He also pilots the generic "Moderator 13" "

The plot thickens! ???

Maybe it wasn't 13, then.

Which moderator was so crazed that he closed down the entire CoH boards because it had been more than a week since the first post ever made? That was Arbiter Fabulous. (-:

Met Arbiter Fab at the City of Heroes Survey Group. Really nice guy. He was having a bad day, so I bought him breakfast, =P.

Still working on more faction stuffs, but I'll keep bumping this (on topic, no less) with a few more oddities I played with when I first downloaded. Some of them have real potential as characters, probably, with backstories already being spun up in those cobwebs in the back of my mind.

::sigh::

I wanna make costumes!!

But I can't...... ::sigh::

Icon won't work for me. I saved it into my CoH folder and every time I click it the loading bars pops up and then blue screen of death so it's ugly face.

If you want Codewalker to have any chance of fixing the problem, you need to give more information. What's your OS? What version of City of Heroes do you have?
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Are you talking about the standard well known Blue Screen of Death?

What kind of computer do you have? Bought from a store? self made?

Is it "weak" or "powerful"?

Are you running icon.exe from inside the same folder as cityofheroes.exe?

What other things are you running/doing at the same time?

What Arachnion said but most importantly, what's the blue screen message ? (you know it's not there to be pretty, it tells things) (If it reboots too fast, you can fix that in the advanced properties of "my computer", by clicking on the parameters button of "start and recovery") (note: english words may be inexact as I don't have english version of windows XP installed)
Yeeessss....

             Well have to check the next time I try it (will be later tonight)

What kind of computer do you have? Bought from a store? self made?

             Dell desktop. Not store bought ordered thru them online I picked what went in it. A couple years old

Is it "weak" or "powerful"?

           I'd say from a scale of 1 to 10. A 7

Are you running icon.exe from inside the same folder as cityofheroes.exe?

          Yep.

What other things are you running/doing at the same time?

         Nothing tries running right after I booted up the computer

Thanks! I gave him the initial name of "Doctor Darkmatter" as a placeholder, more or less. I figure he would be vying for power in Arachnos somewhere, probably trying to undermine Dr. Aeon.

Still more to come
