Alt F4
« on: May 25, 2010, 12:27:09 PM »
I'd like "Alt+F4" and its variations automatically changed to the web address for the trainer's site.  Preferably in time for school to let out for the summer.

Although that actually makes a lot of sense.........  They can't change Windows code

But +1 regardless!   :aok

You misunderstand me.  I mean when a player types in the "Alt F4" "joke," have the text buffer read as the address for the trainer's website.

I was actually going to ask for something like that.  treat it like foul language.  When its typed in the text buffer the player gets a warning.

Thanks for the laugh...this cracked me up.

$DIETY forbid anyone actually THINK...far, far better to just do whatever the screen tells you without running it through the pre-processor.

I remember one fondly...
"How do I keep from getting killed?"
After several attempts by people to convince the newb of "alt-f4" someone finally said
"don't get shot"  :rofl

Doesn't that seem like the logical answer?

when people ask that and im around, i just type "turn your aircraft"
shouldnt that be another logical response?

however, i cant help myself whenever i see "how do i get kills?"

i  type "press alt+f4 for heat-seeking missiles" im guilty, i know :(

I don't see a problem here... if someone is dumb enough to fall for that gag, then they deserve to relog.

Besides, it's a mistake you only make once...  I think it's a funny practical joke myself.

I have a video of one of them getting really ticked off after falling for a practical joke right HERE

So if the arenas had only 10 people nobody would say alt f4?.  Back in aw late at nite with like only 7 , we would still say something like that. Its an old joke that started in AOL chat rooms (I believe).  But back then it was different keys.  And that is all it is a joke. Lol.

CTRL+C and ALT+F+X were common in the old days, as was CTRL+ALT+DEL back when it would cause an instant soft boot.
