    Just a heads-up that after 14/11/2015, you will no longer be able to:
    - Post on any thread
    - Create any new threads
    - Use visitor messages/gallery/groups/etc.

    The shoutbox will be unaffected. I am taking this step to drastically reduce the amount of spammers (or even entirely town down to zero) signing up here and spamming around.
    Basically, I have thought about doing this a year ago already, but didn't really see the benefit back then.

    You can link your Steam account here - http://forums.f-o-g.eu/profile.php?do=steamlink

    I don't think anyone would go through the effort of creating a forum account and a steam account to then post a thread.
    If they wanted to post it that desperately I feel sorry for their parents.

    Just an idea. Maybe good to put a warning in a red bar on top of the page? I have the feeling otherwise a lot of people will miss this message as soon it is out of the top threads

    The changes are now active, if you haven't yet linked your Steam account, you will no longer be able to use the features in the OP.
