count me in with the group of people who just kinda faded out of this forum...
basically since I haven't played NS in a good long while, I stopped coming here... though I still spam the website formerly known as ns.org for my fake internet socialization needs.
I never really did the IRC thing more than just in passing, because for the most part, if I'm at the computer, I'm in a game.
I do miss the LM community though :> I should start up w/ teh NS again... maybe when the next version is officially released...
