in a sense i think you may be right... as a whole supporting member might be able to do more to support the site, but not in the ways you mention it...

you have to remember who most of the supporting members are... long time members who like to joke and have fun... it was just a joke...

christ did everyone develop thin skin since XOC came around... the Un-bored was brutal

and honestly i think a newbie would be more turned off by the fact that several people didn't even see how it could be funny... let alone that it was.

oh well... we obviously don't see eye to eye... i thought the internet as well as this site specifically were supposed to be Informative AND Entertaining... guess i was wrong

I'm not trying to piss anybody off, but if I were a newbie and I saw all of the supporting members and moderators smacking each other like kids in a playground, I'd go somewhere else.
