.:: Subject: Well Few things in mind. Nek is the new Asst., Activity is Sad compared to last weeks, The members and managers Seem to not Care wiether this site dies or lives so i think its fair enought to Say that No one Cares any more.. Our Good frien Syn is having health problems so every one so your respect by adding a [J] to your messenger name. Other then That i have nothing to Say but this. If Managers and Members dont Care then i dont Care and i will leave i will not watch this site die, And i have no intension on lettign it but with out the support from All members and Managers then It will die this has been a proven fact. So if you would like to see this site Stay alive then help it out by being active and having fun…. This is all i have to say so Rikio out.
