SInce people seem to be wondering where the elders are, we're here.
Back several years ago, there ws a program that was a word proxy. No swearing, racist remarks, it workedrealyl well. But it was a HUGE PITA to set up and keep running.
Mustang had it on his servers and I had it on mine. This was before PunkBuster came about.
SOme of you young pups wonder why us old geezers are here. Like " WTF is wrong with you old man - get a life"
I get that all the time in servers, pm's and irc.
I have been on here since '98 and have seen the changes come and go. We currently have an age range from about 10 years old all the way up to the ripe old age of 42.
Now, with that being said, there is a huge seperation between teh younger crowd and the older crowd - a generation gap would be a better description. There are things that the younger players say and do on the servers that I would never have done, even in public.
Fortunately, I believe these ill ones are in the minority and usually don't hang around very long. But there are exceptions. A lot of players vent online sicne they cant in real life. a second persona if you will perhaps?
I know I'm rambling a bit, but I do care about the game. It's a shame that some people act like mules in it.
