Okay, so PHPBB updated itself and overwrote the template that tells GT users to go to a specific URL and fill in a short essay on why they want to join the GT forums. It's basically used to gauge who'll be a fun, interesting addition to the community, while weeding out the rabid fangirls that are the bane of so many people's existence.
And... we've got a pretty good success rate, I'd say.
Anyway. PHPBB updated and we lost the template. So a lot of people went unactivated. I sent out a mass email, letting these folks know what they have to do. Usually the replies vary from "excellent" to "meh," with a few bad'uns in there for good measure.
So, I get an email back from this one user. I've gotten a few back, actually. Some of them with legitimate questions, and one saying that I could delete his profile, as he was joining the Army soon. But this one... oh, goodness.
( Cut to protect the innocent )
Right. So... yeah. I don't know if that last bit was a sig line, or if that was her essay (emailed to me, as she's clearly having problems with the site).
I... don't quite know what to say.
