it aint got no funny no mo. All these replies kinda show that the forum isn't a relaxed place to talk any more, it's like a job interview every time you post. Probably because the people posting now are mostly the people who came to rinkworks later than the "classic regulars", your dariens and whathaveyou. When they got here they noticed that it was a relatively smart forum, so they felt the need to act intellectual to show that they belonged here, eventhough the intellectual part wasn't really the good part to begin with. This started a chain reaction where the even newer people saw everybody who had been there longer than them acting intellectual, so they tried to be even more intellectual than the previous generation. Yadda yadda, eventually the people thinking they needed to be intellectual far outnumbered the people who were just posting comfortably, and you end up with a forum where everybody thinks they need to know what they're talking about before saying it. Perhaps.
