While I doubt many people that know me still patrole here, and I will probably be rebanned after this post. I can't truely say AO has gone down hill since then. I feel that the way AO was made it so that people learned a lot more, but did not exactly foster a since of friendship between everyone. In those old days, everyone would talk to just about everyone and as soon as you said the slightest thing to upset anyone you were attacked not only on the principals you were making, but also on your character. I should know, I was great at doing it. That works when there is a person running the site, but most companies can't and won't allow that to happen.

I think AO has altered just the way most websites have. I can not even begin to express how many times I have to explain what IRC is, or other precursors to aim.

The world has changed and therefore everything within it must as well. We live to learn, and learn so we can live. I guess that is what is happening here.

Though, couldn't you guys use GCC more?

Anyway, everyone be loved, be happy and enjoy life.
