JP put an asshole in the #2 spot of eis..
You didnt complain about that?..

Your right, You have a small insignificant impact on people, but your site
was well chock a block of info (doesnt mean I can look past who you are).

Maybee if you do start the new version you shouldnt use the name "Traitor"
and use something new instead.. that way you will not be hounded by your bad
rep..

good players. The community lets the assholes do whatever they want. The
community should be driving the assholes off. I'm tired of it.

about it and get labled whiners. And the rest of the community, the 'nice
ones', put up with it. The outrage that should be there isn't. I have
tried to get people fired up, and all it has gotten me is labled a whiner,
or worse.

Heh. Even when the sysop's try to make rules that encourage good
sportsmanship, they get hounded about unenforcable rules. Nobody has the
balls to take a stand.

I still want to beta it.
