You dont see the correlation, game mods, forum mods running an open irc channel where tactics and game issues are being talked about?
Channels like #recruiting been linked ingame and taken over by Bishop. I find #tactics to be up to the same standards with Bishop as owner in there.
While Dharan is abusing his powers. They have a responsibility to the players to treat all equaly and try to make utopia a happy place. This includes that they run a tight channel and dont have operators ban people cause they "dislike" them or because they are in some ingame conflict. Even i react on how stupid it is to see Dharan go off for 30 minutes about how much other players suck while he in a way represents this game. I almost feel ashamed that new players get to see that ****. All i can do is laugh about it.
