Apparently Cincinnati is much closer to economic collapse. They're only just receiving this news, over a month after the fact.

These are some fun threads in GenGaming, eh? Full of engaging discussion and not at all populated by sniping mean-spirited humourless bullshit. Thanks for playing, chaps.

So at what point did the flaming on ttlg go from funny to outright mean spirited? Was it when the passive-aggressive tag system came onboard?
