One thing I wish older members of communities would realize is, ya gotta start somewhere. Whether it's stuff like this, or especially stuff like trading... traders can be pretty frustrating because they already have so much they're hoarding and will only release it for limited stuff they don't already possess - seems pretty selfish to me really. JMO. Sharing is caring maaaan
Speaking of torrenting, I always seed to at least 1:1, and will check the peer list... if I'm one of the few ones left seeding I'll usually seed to at least 3 or 4:1 even, until harddrive space becomes the main issue.
Also, some people may not really be into the whole message board thing. I like em well enough, but probably not everyone does, enough to accumulate the points or cred needed to reach the downloads section here anyway. Meh, I just try to look at it both ways. Anyway, I plan on making a small donation too, if everybody donated just $1 I'm sure it'd go a long way.
