Yep, if the Members Zone and Off-Topic weren't here, I wouldn't be. Some come there just to show their awesome person side. There are some in the Fun Forums that I do not see in gen pop and I've seen several references to them getting into it out there and getting benched.
I limit my time out there because it's just not my kind of place and I can see why some of them despise the old DC.com. There are some good folks out there but the "all knowing, my opinions are facts" crowd is overbearing at times. Many are there just to cyber scuffle, that's fun to them. S'ok, different strokes.
However, the MZ and O-TZ brings balance to this universe and the crap out in gen pop is boring as hell, worse than where we came from. I think that is closer to the old News section I was warned about. And the staff seems a little more relaxed in these two Zones than in gen pop where they've got to put on the ref shirt, whistle and flag.
I live in the MZ and O-TZ and just do drive by's in gen pop. Mainly to drop Booger's name because that pisses off several of them.
