And that is a pretty mean thing to say. 

and MJP is apparently right, LoL doesn't seem to be playing FleetOps at all anymore.  Quite unfortunate, really,  but, those things happen.

im always around, just no1 else is... PM and we can arrange a game...

For one reason or another, there are unfortunately some people on these forums who do not understand how the world wide web works. I've already received belligerent pm's from a non-moderator trying to control what I say or do here, just because it irritated him somewhat. Politicians are similar, because, having been brought up in the television era, they think that they can construct a public image, and that if they ignore very public problems, they'll simply go away (hence "covering their ears" so to speak).

Even some of those guys are rapidly waking up to how the web operates, and hopefully it will one day lead to more honest politics. It seems odd, though, that the much younger, supposedly web-savvy individuals on these forums sometimes try to control what others say. Even if you start a topic, you are not its moderator, and so long as posts do not break any accepted rules, they're fair game. If we start a topic we should expect it to be rained on by posts. Just my "2 cents" as you say over in the Uncle Sam of America.

In all honesty, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if a moderator or even a staff member closed this topic (they've done so in the past). Except, when they do it, the topic actually is closed (and it is then not physically possible to make any more posts). Note that, as I have demonstrated by posting, this topic is not closed. Also, it is commonly known that to use capital letters on the web is "shouting", and therefore agressive. Further, you will not trick anyone into thinking that your topic closure is somehow official by adding horizontal lines. The ony possible exception is a complete internet newbie, and you know we're not.

Nefrance, I say these things out of kindness because I don't dislike you. Frankly, your "recruiting" did not end now but no doubt dried up a short while ago. I doubt the leaders of LoL would endorse this method of recruiting new clan members (unless you are the leader, in which case my apologies, and good luck). Please heed my advice and build bridges with others, rather than tearing them down. If you think on, try not to react defensively to this, but learn from the experience.

The pm system only encourages greater hostility, and I've been at the sharp end of this, and I know of others who have. I believe in things being out in the open, "dirty laundry" and all. That way, nobody can play silly games, acting one way via pms, and putting on a front in the forums. Having said all that, I truly now wish a moderators would axe this one thread once and for all; on that I agree. That's the whole point, after all isn't it? Freedom, but not without limitations.

Come to think of it... you're right Red. Onwards, then, with the philosophizing! (en-br spelling  )

I love you guys.
you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

No, I am pretty sure it's the alkeseltzer (how do you spell that darn word )
