look dude, no matter how u paint it here is how it works...

gcw supplies no-cd exe's , trainers etc to the end user, with the presumption that the end user has the original cd/dvd, serial codes and so on... obviously this is open to abuse, but theres no real way to police it....

activation of a product requires inet usually, and the protected file, once activated, the protection does not bother you anymore... and to actually activate your product you need a legitimate key/serial/whatever which is needed to authenticate to the server, so gcw supplying activation bypasses etc will most likely only be of use to a warez user who has not got a legitimate key/serial/etc... there is no other real need for it for a normal user

if you have an issue with activation, you have a few choices

1. contact the games support department, they may have another solution
2. dont buy the game

oh and a petition usually requires signatures, as well as a form detailing what the petition is about, as well as notification to the company the petition is directed at...

i see no petition here...

as for the ms. skills on a resume, i can boil a cup of coffee, i can ride a bike using no hands, i can add 2+2, should i put that on my resume?... see the analogy?

also if you're going to try and keep an argument/discussion going, don't go out on wild tangents, complete off the range of the initial topic and try and turn this to 'better' your argument... ie: you 'bounce' from activation -> ms skills on a resume (total bullshit, outside of the conv), then you bounce back, you also use 'final point' and then detail 3 other points ;p.. as for I cling to my belief that this is a forum by users for users and that rules are flexible... i think your belief is crap, the forum rules are NOT flexible, try infringing some.... then you use dabs analogy to try and better your argument, which primarially is about activation bypasses, yet you try and cite no-cd as a similarity.. it isnt...

my recommendation -> drop your current views, research the site, see how the rules work, find other sites that offer activation bypasses etc.. build up more information for your argument, then present it.... dont build it up as you go along, like you are doing, as it makes you look foolish
