I am a detail oriented guy, and I tend to read a lot into any give situation, so forgive me if this seems nutty:

WHY is World of Warcraft listed LAST in the FORUM list, when it is otherwise alphabeitcal.

I personally think this communicates volumes into this sites integrity.

Most likely the list is arranged with a program wich arranges the from A to Z (capital letters), then from a to z (small letters).

Edit: And it's not otherwise completely aphabetical either. RF online comes before Ragnarok online, and SUN comes before Start Trek Online and Stargete Worlds.

While the list appears alphabetical in the traditional sense, it is alphabetical in the computer sense.

 

Look at an ascii chart and you will notice the W comes before o.  So, in binary, World War II Online is before World of Warcraft.  The literal 'World ' is the same, but then you compare the values of W in War and o in of, and you have your answer.

So what I get from this is that YOU didn't understand something. Then you went and made the leap of "I don't understand how they list the games" to " therefore this site has shoddy integrity"?!!

a quick trip into how ASCII works solves that question

"Waaaagh!"

It's because MMORPG.com HATES World of Warcraft. And rightly so. Nothing else to see here, move along.

Would have kept this thread from happening.
