ParanoidObsessive 08/15/19 8:54:00 PM #3:	Probably just not worth banning, because the real issue is bandwidth usage (and paying for it).

But most GameFAQs pages are just one step above being text files, so there's no significant data cost. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:926122530] in The great ...
