just annother little thing i noticed about the clique-ishness here: all it takes is one or two people to give a few points(+ or -, generally doesnt matter) and all of a sudden the points start flying like crazy; posts that are relitavly comon become either the worst posible thing anybody could have said or the most insightfull thing ever. its quite annoying, and i know i personally have been treading lightly recently, cause i know that even with what i have for AP's, all it would take to get me banned is pissing off the wrong 2 or 3 people and next thing you know i'd be gone. personally, i think it stifles conversations a bit as newcomers are afraid to express opnions contrary to what sombody with more AP's has said(although i havent experianced this here, i can see why one would).

over all though, the sight is great. it just(as most things do) needs a little tweaking IMHO.
