Community Petition: Support for Deaf Gamers
This in from Max Ryser: I was wondering if you'd do not only
me, but also thousands of other deaf videogamers a favor...
I'm trying to have a petition
signed by as many people as possible so
that I can show game developers that there IS a need for them to include
at least an on/off option for subtitles in videogames/PC games.
I for one think that this is a very worthwhile cause (as far as
videogaming and PC gaming are concerned, of course), and it'd help
tremendously if
people started voicing their support for their fellow deaf gamers and game
developers took notice.
And a recent update: I got an e-mail from Cameron Ferroni at
Xbox.com, saying that they got my e-mail and are looking into it -- so
that's good, but more
publicity definitely needs to be generated to really apply the pressure on
Microsoft and other developers in order for the whole cause to
succeed.
Do you have a cause or petition that you think the UF community
could help you with? Send it in to News

| [mekkanik_mike] Anti-spam drive now in progress... | Posted:Mon Nov 16 04:28:30 2009 |
| Due to the sheer number of spam showing up in the ARS system, we have decided to clean it out. The first phase is already under way with more than 2000 diaries containing spam in the top level content cleaned out. The corresponding users have been disabled. However, I suspect that I have also taken out about six to eight legit ones. So if a) you have created your account after 1st Sep 2009, and b) your diary did not have any posts, you may see that your account has been disabled as a spammer. That being the case, please email activemods at this domain to get your account reenabled.
Thanks,
Mekkanik Mike.
