I say it is a necessary part of this forum. Keeps people from just popping in, unloading their crap, and then leaving. If you want to be here, post and contribute and be part of this community. If not, get mad, leave, and go back to PBN. We are like a big family. We try to help each other without calling them gay or other names and flaming them. Treat people as you would want them to treat you. That is what makes the OG forums better than most forums. Stick with it and you will soon have the points needed. It really is not that hard. Most of us with rep have been here along time. Enjoy your stay.
