There ya go, Alamgir.

Anyway, this forum is fine and dandy. But people continue to dwell around waiting for something to happen.. and when nothing happens does that necessarily mean the forum sucks, boring, or has gone down hill? What exactly does everyone want to happen? This is a forum... it's all about one post after the other. It doesn't get more glamorous than that.

I'm basically just sick of seeing "Who was the greatest member?", "The good 'ol days", and "Fondest memories of SFO" topics. Why are so many vets dwelling on the past and past achievements instead of making something special happen now? These days, everyone wants their respect and to be praised so these topics concerning the past make their way into the forum more and more often to rekindle what was lost... whether it be a special event or a member's deserved respect.

This forum, to me, is about relaxing after some fierce battles in SFO and competing in the occasional tournament. It's not about trying to become a forum celebrity, making exotic topics to become popular, or creating these "memory lane" threads in hopes of your name popping up once or twice. It seems these days everyone just wants to see how they measure up with the rest of the community.

The only conflict this forum may encounter to disturb it's peace is a fun but locked topic, wrongfully banned member, or forum shut down. Those are the things we have to avoid... and also topics like these. We don't need newcomers getting a first impression of this great community from this kind've topic.
