Those are some very persistent hackers.

Why would they remove it? It's a warning, just because you've used the machine a million times that has a sign on it "do not touch here, not only will you die, it will hurt the whole time you are dying" Do you remove that?

The warning isn't actually true. I've never even heard of anyone ever getting a keylogger from the forum.


A couple of years ago the forum got spammed like mad with all kinds of shady links and whatnot, that's when they put it in.

It was a lot longer than a couple of years ago.

It is traditional to tell you the concern whose venue you are leaving is not vouching for the place you're going.

If you have a problem with that, I'd say you need therapy. Posting the details of your neurosis here won't help you.

Again, I don't have a problem with the existence of a warning message. I'm saying it could be stated much better than it is. Why do you people reply to threads you didn't even read? I never once said I wanted it removed. You people assumed that.

Older players lose track of time, "a couple of years ago" could mean anything.

I agree with the OP, the warning message is annoying. Yes, I know it's just a disclaimer but it still manages to be spectacularly silly when it warns you about opening YouTube links or image links that have no theoretical chance of infecting your computer. A company that makes one of the most complicated MMOs on the world could use more intelligence when writing their forum software, don't you agree? There's this issue of messages sometimes being cleared when you click "Post", too.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.
