> Now, if you want to argue about the increasing use of IRC/ICQ, where 3 years ago most people just e-mailed, if anything... that's a valid argument. But I'd argue less because of information sharing, and more because it promotes a mob mentality that is definitely harmful. I'd have to agree with you. IRC in a sense ruins the fun because it's a bunch of people giving their own play-by-play commentary of the game. I don't care about OOC commentary, it's one of the things I hate most. I've thought long and hard on that, and the thing that makes me angriest is that. The fact that people on IRC are ruining the game by sharing information that should be kept in game, even with the 'mob mentality' attitude. I enjoyed the forum more when I didn't know there were so many idiots on CF. Naivete, I guess, to some degree, but in a sense, ignorance is bliss. Send me an email, Arcane.
