What a bunch of pathetic whiners. I admit the forums have severely dimnished from what it used to be too, but I still come back. Why? Because I've gotten to know the people that frequent these forums. I stick around for them, not for the forum itself. If you never saw these bonds past the multiple nested folders and subfolders of php code and database ascii then that's your own loss. Who cares if a new member shows up every week to ask a dumb question? Who cares if some people don't use proper punctuation in their posts? If you were hanging out with a group of friends, and some snotty nosed kid walks up to you and asks in a poor dialect where the bathroom is, do you just say "Fuck this shit" and lock yourselves in your rooms? If George Bush starts a war in a country and you don't approve, do you just move out of the country? Who cares about the politics....who cares about the wandering passerbys. You two can just sit in your little elitist treehouse and talk goon shop if you insist.

Mut: What interest do you have in being part of a GW gathering if you dont even want to associate yourself with gotwoot? If a friend betrayed me for whatever reason, then I sure wouldnt ask them to come hang out at a party in MY apartment this upcoming May. And don't compare betrayal to me unbanning myself either. Your farfetched attempts at justification are anything but just.

Y: Nothing else to say about you, you're just a lackey-without-a-cause

As for the proposal for removing the IK bans.....fair enough. I always knew that banning random members for months is a terrible idea for a dying forum anyway.
