I know I am very new here and havent made any good points yet. I also
know what I like in a ng and what I dont. This doesnt matter to many of
you, but I would love ads for games and things that I find useful. My
first post here was asking for a game! Since then I am now in 3 that I
find are quite fascinating. But anyways, this argument is probably
leading nowhere. But Before I say anymore I really need a copy of that
faq!
