And once the game comes out, I do plan on dropping by (probably for hints
) every once in a while until I finish the game. Of course, "every once in a while" will probably mean once or twice a day 
There's a small problem with me doing that without some practical problems. You see, I do most (if not all now) of my surfing in Linux. KQ IX will be released to play on Windows. My WINE is not operational (yet) and I doubt such a new game would run with it anyway. So, if I get stuck on something I need a hint for (note: hint <> spoiler), I have 2 options:
a) Shutdown Windows and start up in Linux, wait for an answer and then shutdown Linux and go back to Windows.
b) (Temporarily) surf in Windows.
It's not that my network isn't safe, the router's firewall is effectively stealthing all of its ports, it's the fact I don't trust Windows$.
And to get back to a discussion about me joining on page 2, I found an e-mail in my IN-box (yes, I keep a lot of mails, especially those when joining a forum, if only to not forget the login-data), and indeed it was on March 02, 2003. Hence, the forum is absolutely correct, since I find no earlier mention of me registering for a KQ IX-forum, and IIRC every KQ IX forum was a registering one.

It seems I registered on the JA-forums on October 24, 2002, maybe I was confusing those two.

Well, at least it's 20 months (+ 2 days) today (November 4, 2004).
