I can't help think it ironic that every damn day I come to this site, it has to put an obtrusive banner on the bottom telling me the site uses cookies "Like every other site on the internet". All fine and good. So why don't you use this cookie to store the fact I said "Okay" and stop showing me the annoyingly obtrusive banner! Durrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You're absolutely right. It's amazing how silly people get. Overall this changes nothing. I think in the end, this will only grow the community, as many who had no motivation to mod will now have one.
Even though the new (Nx) servers have the least users, they never work. Which is probably why they have the least users. I always have to pick one of the older, fuller servers. So Seems like a lot of wasted potential.
