Excuse me while I hike my pant's waistband up under my armpits. There, that's better.
Now then, I notice a few posts on the forum having sport at the restored "station stops" timeline. We all know how useful it can be when trying to help a poster that manages to provide every bit of information about their computer, except what version of Trainz they are using. To make the job even more challenging they have decided to post their problem in the "General Trainz" forum, or "Community" or some such! It does help to have an idea of what versions of Trainz the member may be using.
Of course, here is where someone responds that they may have a registered version, but may not be using it, or perhaps the member lost the version of 2006, and is using 2010 instead, downloaded through a torrent site! How dare you jump to conclusions because the poster's timeline shows a certain version, YOU DON'T KNOW ME! TALK TO THE HAND!
Okay Sir.... put the mouse down, and back away from the keyboard...
Really guys and gals, this, like so many other things in life, is a "percentage play". It's a judgement call. Now forgive me if your Mommy and Daddy never taught you what a judgement call is, but that's not my problem. That's your problem. So the OP only shows a registered version of 2006 in his timeline and I try to offer advice based on that and he replies, "you idiot...I'm talking about 2010! I'm an expert on 2006! The only reason 2010 isn't registered is because right after I installed it "my dog ate my computer", (Translation: I ripped the Program from a cracked version on the Pirate Lagoon), "my little sister pushed the delete key", (Translation: I ripped the Program from a cracked version on the Pirate Lagoon), "my grandmother had a grabber and passed out on my keyboard", (Translation: my grandmother had a grabber and.... wait...what?)
Anyway, the station stops timelines are useful, especially when dealing with a suspected cracker (and I don't mean a person who worked a ranch at a young age and learned how to crack a whip). Why help someone who isn't contributing to the franchise? Maybe you're a young rebel, or maybe you've played too much Hacky Sack, or maybe you've sat in too many drum circles, but N3V pays money to host the DLS, and run the forum and develop the games and make DLC's and so on, and if I think you haven't payed your freight to ride the rails then I don't care what your back story is! Really, my name's not Larry and I sincerely doubt yours is Balki, and I've seen all the Andy Kaufman videos I care to. If you come from some part of the world that doesn't care about stealing, if you have learned how to fool yourself into thinking you are only sharing, that it's your right to just take whatever you want then good luck with that, but please consider that most people in this world know the difference between right and wrong. Get back to me with your question when you can show me you have payed for the right to ride the rails with me. I'm not Ernest Borgnine on "Emperor of The North", but I understand him! I don't endorse beating up hobos, but I understand it!
Lastly; why is it so wrong to be proud of the station stops you have earned? Is it the end all to end all? No, but there's no shame in displaying a long line of Trainz products in your station stops. No one would quit and walk away without them, but if you have been with the program long enough, and your station stops show that, why do you have to act as if its just a silly graphic? Be proud of your past, be proud of your time spent with Trainz! Who cares if it's a clever marketing ploy, MORE POWER TO THEM! N3V, you keep going okay? Sell billions of copies! Release a new version every 3 months for all I care! There's no shame in showing the world you've owned many versions of Trainz, in fact, you should be proud! Every sale, every version has injected capital into a franchise that is working towards releasing the very best Train Simulation the free world has ever seen!
You youngsters from Caspiar or where ever the heck you're from should be thanking us "old timers" who have actually paid the money to provide the capital to make the very version you just downloaded from some cracker torrent! Yet you laugh, and point, as if you are that much so superior to have figured out a way to game the system.
Without me, and the other "old timers" on the forums you would have just downloaded Trainz CE! You leeches may be stretched out in an empty gondola now, but the cinder dicks are always waiting at the next yard, and they don't fool around.
You're welcome, now...GET OFF MY LAWN!
