One thing you forgot, russ...

Use of AOL chatroom contractions, letter/number substitution, and upper ascii not only makes one look like a tool, but will probably incur the wrath of people who can type such difficult words as 'anyway', 'your', and 'one'.

alas... my letter/number substitution was a result of getting pissed off trying to use "converge" as a username. unfortunately I've stuck with this nick since inception.. then again, I am also a tool, so I guess your statement proves itself correct :)

c0nv3r9.... you have proven yourself an exception... even if we do all pronounce your nick "converse". ;-)

You know, we could fix this problem quite easily by sending each user a "FAQ" on our forums when they sign up.

I have been working on putting together a FAQ for the last few weeks. I have some other projects that are taking up my time at the moment. ie..Defcon Movie Channel, Scavenger Hunt, and redoing the NOC at my house.

Sounds like you have quite a bit of spare time. Could you redo my site for me, please? I have several things I've been wanting to add, and as you can see, I haven't a lick of artistic talent.

yes. I mean, no.
