Well, again, Rude is right. I think and want the same out of this website and it's members that he wants, but since I seem to be disliked here, my opinions seem not to be valid.

I dislike having to come to a site where I actually LIKE to help people when they are in a jam, and see them happy once someone gives them an answer out of it. The problem is, Offtopic is the Black Mountian in the Green Meadow. If the people who ruin this site were truly ruthless, they would post in every forum, without concern of it being Offtopic or not. But, they don't, which is a benefit, slightly.

The problem is people tend to read GD forums, see how people help one another, then want to browse other parts of the forums. They come to Offtopic and see:

-Someone get call an insanely vulgar word.
-Someone told to do something gay / sexual
-Someone is being flamed for an obvious question.

Wether or not the person deserved it, they shouldn't have to see endless bashing in one forum like this one. Yes Ed, you're right; this is Offtopic, and should be ANYTHING what-so-ever that is not MOH. Even still, this should be within boundaries. Random posts of poo, or a link to outwar, or even a video of my picture being pissed on by TEAMGOD, it's just shouldn't be in a forum where the general crowd is between the ages of 12 - 18.

If I wanted to sit back, have a good laugh, and not care about what I posted or talked about, the mIRC channel or even the "Vets" forums would be fine. They were made for a different crowd; the guys here who like to come, and just make each other laugh, even if it's vulgar or not.

Sorry if I'm typing so much, but I'm really just trying to show you guys that what you do in these forums may not be wrong for you, but for the younger crowd, it may be. I must have gotten close to 70 - 80 emails from parents who are glad they could have their child play MOH online without worrying about other peoples language (Chat Filter). I'm not looking for people to thank the admins and members here, but I like when new-comers come here and are glad they have a place to talk about MOH, not to be made fun of, or trashed.

Here's an example of what I mean, and I'm done:
