Fond memories haha

The part about battling harder and harder opponents is the piece that’s lost on the same few people who do the shit for the wrong reasons. The same types of folks that less accomplished members continue to complain about in forums for the past number of years. If it ain’t the flames, something gotta be done to not incentivize that bullshit any longer.
