what's with all these "been a member for 6 months and have a gazillion posts so I don't look like a noob anymore, now I can finally start flaming new noobs as a revenge for getting flamed just a couple of months ago myself " dicks? Even if your sorry ass got kicked as a noob, you don't have to do it to every new member trying to say hi. There's nothing wrong with saying "hi", is there?
And that wasn't just for you, it's for everybody trying to boost their own self esteems at the expense of "noobs". Please stop being immature, it'll make NS a better place for everyone.
