What is it's purpose? Honestly I want to press it badly but it just sits in my item hanger laughing at me. Why must you torment me CCP?! WHY! All I want to do is press that big red button! WHHHHYYYYYYYYY!!!!???

Ok I was just doing that for dramatics. The Imicus looks pretty cool with a different paint scheme which brings me to another subject. When can we paint our own ship? That would be a radical thing for the game. Paint your own ship would be a great addition to this epic game.

Back to the main subject. A....Big....Red...Button.....you are torturing me!

I believe that button deletes a random file on your hard drive

Never before has this been said.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I remember the big red button on The Escapist forums... it warned you not to push it then it made your avatar turn into Justin Bieber if you did for a week

There was a script for mirc for this, you could have a duel between players who take turns deleting random files from their computers. Last PC running wins. Additional fun comes from compromising filenames, because the script announced which file got deleted.

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

it's not random, it always deletes boot.ini

I too have that big red button. No idea what it does tho.

Until I discover its secrets, I have been using this as a substitute: http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=9644

Maybe nostalgia ?

There used to be a website in the early 90's with "a big red button that does absolutely nothing". In the time you also had a website with a web cam on a coffee machine. The time you used lynx as a non graphical browser.......

oohhhh CCP whyyyy this button. Oops

It should submit a request to reboot the server. CCP should have a count up on their main screen like that guy had when placing the bounty on "Vic."

if you press the red button, somebody else in the universe has to press the green button

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
