Is it just me?

Technically theyre talking about skorts, not mini-skirts.Yes, I know this because I have daughters.

Yeah Wally beat me to it. Its technically not a mini-skirt. I can see the protesters point of view: the clothing is not any more revealing than a standard apir of shorts. They basically dont like somebody telling them what they can and cannot wear; ie oppressing individual expression. A seperate debate would be school uniforms which I do support coincidentally, but Im just a walking contradiction at times.

I understand their skorts, my point is that it shows to much by the schools opinion. Rules are in place for a reason, some are stupid but none the less you have to follow them...not like them. Why the protest, its policy live with it. Uniforms=YES

This is typical for most parents in Western PA schools. Upper St. Clair is an Upper Middle /Lower Upper Class school district where they've been fighting over dress code for the past few years. It always amazes me that parents who won't come to school for open house or parent teacher conferences always have time to protest dress codes. It's like I'd rather my 10 year be able to dress like a Hooker than worry about actual education issues.\r The kid's mistake is not wearing a Steelers mini-skirt to school no way anyone would have said anything about that. Hell around here you could get away wearing a Steelers Bra & thong to school because you're supporting the Stillers!

Some people LIKE their kids to look like whores. Go figure.

SHADOW RUN

Get Shadowrun dude, it is a blast and we will be playing it forever.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, we all have our \"senior\" moments where language, spelling, grammer, tempers, seem to leave our grasp. I sometimes wonder if my blogs are readable, lol.

I'm thinking a \"timmy\" would be on his/her best behavior and grammer. Us old people just act like we do, and grammer? who gives a \"poop\" i aint at work no more when I's come here (lol)

omg dood wats wrong wit u y cant u jus b kewl n let ppl play wit ppl dey wan 2 play wit y does age gotta matta its so stoopid 2 say \"o ur only 24 1/2 n u cant play hear\" common give me a brk u r acting so dum

My blog runs from reading to reality tv, so is that \"random\"?\r \r Anyway: the timmies will show themselves up in the gaming. Now here's a question: is being a timmie age dependent or is it a state of mind? Would you deny a great kid the opportunity to game with us if s/he acted wonderful? Would you keep someone in who was 40 but acted like a jerk?

Amen Brother, I am with you on this one.

That's why this site was made. fill up your FR with folks from here and the childish behavior goes down a few notches. welcome.

Join a clan here, fill up your FL and take advantage of XBL parties. This way you will never hear the timmies.

LOLz

Definitely join a clan and add as many 2o2p people as your FL will take.\r \r Also, your complaint is one of the main reasons I don't play much MM. It's also why, when I do, I make liberal use of the Negative Feedback and File Complaint buttons. :)

Lately?!?! It's been going on for at least 6 months, maybe even a year now.\r \r 2o2p has an army of anti-spam moderators to keep the forums clean but blogs and comments are still a problem.

Yeash I agree. I see alot of spam as well.

Bastards were all at Pax. Insanely jealous.

I don't mean just the last week....I'm thinking the last few months...Might just be me, though.

I'd agree.

it has been slow. People are probably waiting for V3. Which should roll out around next years Pax East...maybe..

v3 is never going to happen, LB. Doodi has you FOOLED. FOOLED!

Maybe we should all blitz the forums like Ceasar did when he got close to 10,000 posts.

Its actually pretty fast for me. Its probably a Canada thing.

Yes, it's so slow I can't even blog every day... Have to mind the blog-bar, afterall. ;-)

I'm not in Canada you douche. Go back to bed.

It seems normal to me. Not to say the site is zippy, it's always run a bit sluggish on my computer but it hasn't gotten any better or worse that I can detect.

OMG - are you guys for real? I mean slow in people activity. Not like internetz slow.

The sections I frequent are noticeably slow, activity-wise.\r \r This site has more peaks and valleys than it did in the early years. Still rocks.\r \r @doodirock - You're in Chicago, that practically makes you Canadian. You even speak funny. LOL

ah you mean people actually using the site.\r \r Yeah, I think clans continue to move further into their homes and away from the out side areas. \r \r I'm not sure its easy to get more activity around the site as a whole. In terms of actual member traffic though, there has been a steady amount for the last year+ and it never really changes. At any given time there are about 1000 members around the site. \r \r The big thing is really the games out and what they bring to the rest of 2o2p. If its something really new like Halo it brings a ton more member traffic around the main areas. But now that things have died down we are sort of left with a point of calm before the storm. I don't think we are going to see a lot more talk until Gears is out to be honest.

i was just replying to everyone's post and being friendly lol\r \r i think the site is normal.

I've noticed new blog postings have dropped or at least that's my perspective just judging by how much time it takes for my avatar to disappear off the bar.\r \r General forums seem like not as many people are posting anymore. Hell, even clan forums i'm in seem pretty sluggish.\r \r So ya in terms of public participation on the site I'd say it has gone down. I'd expect people are more active in their clan forums but that's not even the case for the clans I'm a member of.

Slow all over, including clan. If an \"eff you Dixon\" thread can burn out in less than 24 hours, something is amiss.

Going through a separation/divorce is making me slow, but I always delete the post before ...

Sloooow...I know what we need....wasn't there some site update comin' up soon? Or did I miss it... :)

It has been quiet but, I rarely venture into the main forums due to the spam. As for clans, with the Live party chat feature that is where I do a lot of my talking.

Takes a long time to show threads as having been read too. If you go to the first unread message in a thread and then back out. Refreshing still shows it has having unread portions.

Agreed. I think doodi nailed it that folks seem to be retreating to their clan pages, but even then my clan activity has slowed dramatically as well. And the established clans don't seem to be recruiting at all to keep things fresh. \r \r Also, and this isn't a knock just an observation, there is very little activity outside of the CoD/Halo/Gears discussions. There might be a thread or two when a new game comes out but then it dies off real quickly. (I'm looking at you Dead Space 2!)

My workplace is still running IE6 so the site is SUPER slow from work. As for overall lack of activity, priorities change. Many of us found this site in our late 20's and as the years have gone by our life priorities have changed. I know mine have to a degree.

spammers certainly add to the site traffic. do we count those?

Pretty extremely great post. I just arrived through your weblog and preferred to say that I've genuinely liked reading through through your posts. Anyway I'll be subscribing to the feed and I am looking forwards your article again! \r \r http://www.top-buyer.com/
