Yeah, and TGC is the height of professionalism.
I'm not under NDA, neither is Daniel. We don't really discuss areas of sensitivity; although tbh I couldn't care less about discussing them. Would be good for them to see as a company that they're not exactly going about things the right way.
If I really lost all professional curtosy, then quite frankly I'd go completely in-depth to how things work with them; and why you can quite frankly never expect anything to change.

(I got your very funny joke Oolite )"
I got the joke, doesn't mean a response can't be made on the actual subject. I mean fgs, if the users don't take things seriously that need to be changed why the hell should TGC?
Quote: "We're not - we're against useless features, or feature for the sake of having features.
You have several methods of contacting someone on a personal level, why should TGC provide yet another?"
Sorry, but I'm taking down my MSN again from here; simply because I got a huge group of Mexican only speaking user who just wouldn't leave me the hell alone.
I only check e-mail once every couple of days properly, unless there is something I've been waiting for or the subject/contact is someone I consider important when doing a quick check every day.
Add to this I have an public e-mail, business e-mail and work e-mail! If I'm at work I have to manually sign these in each time I want to check because they all use the live service that only allows a single live passport at once.
That's in addition to signing in to this website, and Messenger!
Not to mention the spam I get through e-mail, and YES that still happens with the whole words instead of actual thing because spyders now have the ability to check and add based on that. So the fairly aggressive spam filters I have still need to be updated quite a bit.
So frankly, not only are you saying that you want us to log-in to our e-mail and this website; but also you want us to have multiple e-mail addresses because perhaps you don't want to be contacted via the one you standardly use and want to keep clean of crap?
Oh and add to this, those who just don't bother adding contact information at all.. OR bother to check their e-mail ever!
A PM System is bloody useful, as people actually use them. Hell it's something on most forums people don't simply ignore for the sake of ignoring. There is also NO issue with sending your mail because it won't ping back.
I have terrible trouble with free e-mail addresses with my 1&1 accounts as they'll ping back often. With my hotmail/live accounts this happens with some unregistered isp e-mail addresses. So ya know I've gotta then use an e-mail address I'd rather not give out just to contact someone.
Oh and let's not forget that while a PM System will show you have a new message as soon as you reload a page; e-mail (for example to people with AOL accounts) can take up to 24hrs to arrive in their inbox; that's if it ever sodding shows up!
So please, tell me what the hell the whole "fantastic" aspect of using e-mail addresses for contacting over PM?!
