You got me there. We only run polls and have giant discussions on our forums about how changes are made. We only run these discussions for 2 or 3 weeks before finalizing the results. Guess that makes the entire community pretty tight-assed, no?
But that's why we love it so much. Because there's really no tossed salads in our neck of the woods, eh?
But regardless of what age we're in, Ed, it makes less sense to have to be vulgar with every sentance out of your mouth then it does to actually police the server and Teamspeak for it. Also, I'd like to see half of that language be used in a corporate work place, which is where half of these "kids" will eventually end up. I'd also like to see that sort of language used in the churches that some of these "kids" belong to. Or perhaps that kind of language when they're having a mild conversation with "Mommy" or "Daddy" about the weather. Perhaps the lesson we should all learn is that we should all teach our children that having a good time is impossible without screaming obscenities at your opponent.
Listen, I'm as much of the "truck driver" as any one of you in real life. But that doesn't mean that I think it's a necessary evil to use that same language whenever I type out a conversation with someone. Also doesn't mean that I should go ahead and broadcast my voice over Teamspeak to 5 - 15 people at once saying things like "shit, fuck, damn, you fucking hax0r!!"
Of coarse, I suppose since I stopped watching MTV back when they started programming shows instead of music, then I guess that makes my 28 years seem rather old to you.
Tog, if the only thing you're really concerned with is having people ask you for competition, then just drop your clan tags when you jump on the server. We always will have a deep respect for those friends we had back in the day, but you can't expect to get that same treatment if you're not willing to let us know who you are. How can you expect to have friends if you're not willing to be friendly?
