Why do forum sites do shit like this? I just want to fix my game.
Autistic admins think their forum would get flooded by spammers if they don't put in a ton of pointless steps to making an account.

If you put a password req of "must have 1 number, 1 capital letter, etc" on your site/forum, you're just guaranteeing I won't ever use it more than once, because I won't bother to remember the password

I was pretty upset. Here's a different problem I have that spreads across everything:
>Grew up on a farm
>Just turned 26
>Didn't have internet until like 17/18
>Have a smart phone
>Piss off my spoiled friends who have been connected to the internet pretty much their whole lives because I'll ask them questions I could easily google on my phone
At the same time though they could just fucking tell me instead of trying to make a computer-retarded yokel try to figure it out on his own.
Ironically I've been playing vidya longer than them, though. You'd be fucking surprised how much farmers love video games. My grandpa could wreck fucking shit in Dr. Mario like you wouldn't believe.
