no, we dont have to be here if we dont like it. but it was nice to come on here (for me, during my work hours) to shoot the shit with the rest of the 12oz family and not worry if one of our comments would offend the mods or if we'd get "yelled" at by the mods (like how it is now). i would have to agree with what casek said and about the inflated egos and such. a lot has changed since the new mods have been "hired" and im not saying this to offend any of my friends that are mods but there was a time when 12oz was laid back and everyone would just get along and laugh at each other. but now, its like there's so much tension and so much beef that 12oz has become an unfriendly place to be. i've been on this site for a long time now and i've met some amazing people from this site and its just kinda sad to see it like the way it is now.
