Its not edited in any way, shape or form. Nor did I use any kind of HTML editor to fake the forum It is a genuine screenshot of the forum homepage.

How else can I prove it? :p

That's probably just because the forum has no description unlike the rest.

It could just mean that that particular forum is closed :p

The mirror you're running on your own server, eh?

That forum wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. And why would someone just create a forum called "Closed" for no real reason, unless there was a game called "Closed"?

What's the forum ID? It could be a re-used old forum (e.g. a contest forum?) that was renamed to closed when it was .. closed?

Nope, its new. Its ID is 106. For reference, Alien Breed is 105 and Battle Islands is 104, so it is a new one,

Why are we wasting our time wildly speculating about the source of possibly photoshopped pics when we could be having much more fun wildly speculating about rumors of the possibly rumored game? :p

Sounds like an adventure or puzzle game. If it's an adventure game it would probably be a detective story (case closed...). A puzzle game with that title would probably revolve around getting some sort of box opened, possibly a lock picking game, and it would be for the iPhone. Actually that would do nicely as a minigame for the adventure game, in which case you might just play as the burglar instead.

Might also be a game about road construction sites and you play as the guy who has to close off parts of the road with traffic cones.

Or just a game like Wario Ware where EVERY minigame is about closing all kinds of doors and lids.

It is a real screenshot. I've seen it in my own browser window. Quite what it is for or why Dave would feel the need to build a forum in advance as if it is office space or something I do not know.

Easy, give us all mod powers so we can see it for ourselves. :D

106 I don't have access to.
107 doesn't appear to exist. I used 107 to compare messages, so there does appear to be a subforum with ID 106 at least.

I refuse to concede the point until this is fully verified.

What about if Andrew posts a screenshot? Would that be sufficient proof?

I demand a disinterested third party!

I don't trust Andrew's disinterestedness. He seems far too interested. :mad:

Nope. Has to be a non-mod. Like me. Except if you give me mod powers then I'll become a mod and am no longer reliable, which explains why you have to give us all mod powers.

See, there's no other way around it.

Putting 'Closed' up on the forum is kind of ominous, no?

the obvious solution is to make me a moderator

I think anyone who runs a website called apathy sketchpad can be assumed disinterested in pretty much anything...

I am extremely interested in preserving the distinction between disinterested and uninterested but it seems I am alone in this.

I was having fun switching between the two meanings. I was very precise in my first use, but decided fun could be had by swapping the meanings disinterested and uninterested.
