well, it is better than what is was. Their was a while that if you could manage to make a strong enough argument that you'd think hez and crew just might admit that they where going to far. they'd just start a new thread, and pretend the other one didn't exist. that and i think that Hez is at least trying to move away from things like that.
things are getting better, and it would seem all the new blood, after the BME melt down (sorry jan, but thats what happened,) the NLUO has some momentum. now if they can just get rid of the people that make up the rules as they go along, and avoid 100+ posts about evictions, that make them look like a HS AD&D club. Then the NLUO might amount to something.
