This is what I see in case it differs from you: http://imgur.com/jhjSV Im on Windows 7 using Chrome.

Personally I feel as though the gray box explaining what the page is, is taking up most of the page. Any way to make it smaller? This way I feel as though it would remove any scroll bars on the page and prominently show your "WordCount.is is a useful web utility by Joel Runyon"

Other then that, page looks clean and is simple to use.

Thanks. You got me thinking in the right direction and I found a Wiki page that talked about image formats and if they are lossy or lossless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats

I found it interesting and wanted to share.

Curious question here: If you take the screenshot you get from WOW and open it up with photoshop/gimp/paint and save it now as PNG or different format, would it be possible to degrade the quality of the dots rendering it useless to be tracked?

I had the same problem on my Chrome browser, odd right? I searched in IE and it worked.

Thanks! I was going to ask for a link to how you know this but it makes total sense. I was already thinking if that was the case or if something else was being done but going back to the servers is the most logical explanation. What personal computer isnt hooked up to the internet these days. The game must have come from somewhere, most likely the internet and not someone’s floppy disk/zip drive/usb stick.

A little bit more of an explanation of the error and consequences: http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/85554/garrys-mod-creator-...

tl;dr "Reports were ... flooding in about an error message upon booting up Garry's Mod which reads "unable to shade polygon normals" followed by a bunch of numbers.

The thing is that those numbers that appear after the error is actually the user's SteamID. ...The SteamID...has allowed for easy permanent ban distributions"

I'm interested to know, or know the theory on to how the developer came about to check if GMod was pirated.

I agree with what he is doing but is there a way, without a shadow of a doubt, always be able to prove it was pirated and not a legitimate glitch?
