Yours must be cached, then. When I look at it (post by “JPsShytBox”?), I just get an empty JPG image and the text “rehosted ~modteam”.
And on WET’s link I get:

It’s been taken down already, so can’t see what it was….
I agree with the comments about deserted servers.
But what fucks me off about booster packs/expansions is that you get screwed over when subsequent patches come along. For example, when I had to reinstall BF2 I never managed to get Special Forces going again as the patch application was out of order, and I would have had to uninstall, complete clean, and reinstall later, and then bugger about with EA Downloader for Armoured Fury. So now I have a £20 SF expansion pack that is useless and unused.
Sorry, for me it is just too much arsing about. I still haven’t updated EA Downloader after seeing all the horror stories other people have had. It is simply too much shit to worry about – and I’m a friggin’ expert. God help people who just want to use PCs and not understand them…..

Lensmans on now, but not on TS.
Sorry mate – I hardly ever bother with TS if playing during the day. Will try & remember in future.
Didn’t miss much though – I ended up kicking several people and eventually banning one for continual base rape. Took some time to get a decent game going 🙁
PS: OMFG!! 😯 Pharty making little pharts??!!! 😯 As if there weren’t enough Aussies in the world 😆
I still get CTD’s after the patch too. I don’t think as many as before, but that may be coincidental.
You should probably read the Spunk’s second reference – I know it’s long. But what Spunks was saying was that in the early 60’s these kind of prescriptions were legal, and then the law changed to what I guess is the rules you are talking about.
Spunks – you should really read your own references 🙂
The first one is irrelevent – only talks about cannbis in the US. I don’t care about the US law – I live in the UK.
The second one contains a number of interesting snippets, including this:
Why it is that so many youngsters, fully aware that they can obtain these drugs legally and free of charge, so often prefer for long periods to pay black market prices for them? The reason given most frequently by them is that they consider it a much greater temptation and risk of becoming definitely “hooked” and ending up as established “junkies” once they put themselves in the position of getting the drug easily and regularly from a doctor without having to make any great effort (for instance by hanging around at midnight at all-night pharmacies, such as in Piccadilly, where “registered” drug addicts obtain their prescribed drugs, and without any expense.
The “pushing” of surplus drugs obtained by addicts on prescription was reported by all the hospitals in the London area admitting sizeable numbers of heroin and cocaine addicts
Translation – doesn’t matter if you can get the drugs legally, there will still be a thriving black market in them.
“non-therapeutic” addicts admitted to psychiatric hospitals and homes in recent years stated usually that they first obtained their supplies of heroin and cocaine from other “registered” addicts who thus served as a “focus of infection “.
Effin marvellous this one – the more people on legally obtained drugs, the more young people are introduced.
But that’s pretty much how rehab schemes operate now.
And the success rate is very very low.
Entering rehab is not teh problem – it’s keeping off the drugs that is. And the reasons many continue to take drugs after coming out the other side of withdrawal are social. I.e. these people exist in an environment where taking drugs and getting high is the normal lifestyle. Legality is irrelevent.
Bearing in mind NHS funding now, would you rather money was spent funding crackhead’s habits or provision of new cancer drugs?
EA bought DICE over the summer. Was announced some time ago, but the details of the acquisition took several months to complete.
(Damn….thought this thread was dead….)
Neon’s echoing what I’ve been saying – if people are addicted and need it, they need to fund the habit irrespective of legality. I also liked WET’s first post – says it all really.
It’s not the legality of drugs that makes it the cause of crime, its the simple fact that people are hooked to them in the first place. Making them legal encourages more people to become addicts, not less.
If anything, legalising drugs could mean less state-help for the addicted. People go into drugs programmes all the time funded by the state – the same is not true of booze & fags. Trying to equate alcohol/fags with hard drugs in the legalisation argument is a pointless exercise. It’s like saying that since it is OK for me to kill a rabbit and eat it, I can do the same to my next door neighbour – after all, killing is killing isn’ it?
The argument over it being my daughter turning to hooking to fund a drugs habit doesn’t hold water either. It assumes that all addicts become prostitutes, and that the prostitution is simply to fund the habit. A major factor in turning to the street is that there is not the family support or background to help the girl (or boy I suppose) tackle the real problem of drug addiction. Also, in many cases girls become junkies after becoming hookers. The real-life situation is that the causes of prostitution are way more complex than simply feeding the drug addiction.
Drugs can really really fuck you and your family up. Legalising them is not a solution – particularly one based on the reasoning of “well, let’s give it a go as keeping them illegal has not worked”.
