Re: Facts Thread:

I hope we can get it sorted out, Kage. I agree that this forum is going downhill, and it seems like very few people care.

There are a few members on here that are worthwhile, but then for every one of them, there are about 5 who don't know a d**n thing.

No offense to anyone that comes here to ask a question, you guys deserve all the help we can give you. I would appreciate it if more of you remained active, though.
