    Awesome Geers, I wondered what it was XD

    As for @elkanfirst the lack of forum searching is extremely disturbing not to mention LAZY. If it were any other forum, the guy would have been banned (as many forums that AS A RULE, tell you to search before posting a topic and many of those moderators are not forgiving).

    We've had this discussion before and it has been said before: Duplicate threads are not the end of the world and especially newbies in the forums should not be attacked for them. To create a friendly community we can't attack new people for common mistakes that new people do. Just give them a nice hint towards existing threads and how to find them and that's good.
    In some cases a little humor isn't bad though. I mean it's cool that you found an easter egg and want to show it to the world, but consider how it looks when you post about your awesome find without realizing the world already knows it ;)

    I know, I was just pointing out how lax this forum is, compared to many other forums with dicks for moderators

    oh common, out with this!

    he's not mocking! it's playful and not harmful. (and also he is totally justified in doing this since the irony of thinking having been the first is sort of violently strong with this trend.)

    I think the best analogy would be he's like a cat batting your face with his paw.

    So I guess it wasn't clear at all what the purpose of posting the screenshot is.

    What I found on the units cannon was a sign that said "Out of order"

    You should be able to see it in that screenshot. Of course everyone has seen the unit cannon before, but we haven't seen anyone talk about the out of order sign.

    Hehe, a couple people have missed it.

    Hope none of the jokes were taken harshly. :D

    Not necessarily, at least one person in the thread mentioned he didn't see it, no need to go overboard.

    If you are so philosophically against this conversation, then why are you contributing to its second page? :p

    Cause I felt like it, it's already here is it not?

    It'd just be nice if laziness wasn't so widespread

    I am only interested in and found to be "news", the fact that the terrain feature is on it's side. Isn't it usually right side up? What kind of camera/terrain alteration put it sideways?

    They are right though, many forums would probably delete, merge, kick, and ban, not just if there is a reason to, but even if there is merely NO reason NOT to. Did they break the rules? No? Was their post contributing in a way that would be missed? No? Then get ridda them, why not.

    We are not supposed to "harass", to define loosely, duplicate posts. We are supposed to link relevant other threads. It is discouraged to simply reply with memes and "lrn2search". It is grey area to pool links of 8 different threads and compile them as "all didn't use the search button".

    im more interested in that shrine or ruins because that is MUCH more rare and interesting as its a large terrain feature
