   That’s a very good list. Forums can be so annoying.

   I’m guilty of some of those.

   Thing is I don’t no matter what anyone says I don’t do things on mb360 for the sake of looking dumb. Im just learning how to know as much about gaming as possible, on route agitating people who have various standards of common knowledge that they don’t believe I meet.

   Backing up your arguement is hard even when your right due to the experience some people have with arguing.

   Excellent list. I don’t do forums anymore but used to run a couple of rather busy ones myself and I sure agree with those.

    I only read the first few words but I can’t agree with number 1. I’m not sure what it says though so I can’t elaborate.
