You've never been as good at it as I have. You're more of an annoyance, a minor inconvenience, than anything else.
First of all, it's "for YA"..or "for YOU". Not "for yeah". Tsk tsk.
And, you can't skip over the tournaments, because they ALWAYS show up in the New Posts link. I click New Posts, and there are 3 pages of threads, 2 of which are Tournament threads. It makes it more difficult than it should be to find the other threads. So, yes, it is an inconvenience.
And I do have my reasons for closing it. And I'm don't care about it at all, I can just look at the last 19 posts and see it's turned into an MSN Messenger conversation and decide it's no longer necessary. Now that people are posting in it again, following the theme of the game, it can stay open again. At least until the junior high girls attack it again. Then I'll close it.
I also think its REALLY funny that people were thanking NorCal for merging and opening it again. REALLY funny.
