I predict this as well.

How many hours a day do you spend in SMF?85% of my computer time goes to SMF -- 5% to my own site -- 10% to video games

What video games?

What do you hate?People who ask for support without searching like how I once did

So, you hate your previous self

[mcblaber]

Of course I do. We were all newbies once and can make fun of ourselves.

So was I, I guess

Call of Duty 5

Gotta ask, how great is it?

[mcblaber]

Gotta ask, how great is it?

Call of Duty 5 is pretty dang fun. It has a lot of new weapons and the overall gameplay is better compared to the previous version.

A con - All the maps look alike when you play online.

Lol I just joined the forum and am only 15  Wonder if I'm the youngest?

[Arantor]

manny2wethers: you're not the youngest. There are people who are 13 on here too, and I believe there's even a couple of team members who are 13-14.

You *believe* there is?

* Nas eyes self

[Arantor]

I knew you were, Nas, but the precise meaning I intended was "I believe there's 2+ in that category", I don't offhand know the ages of the entire team.

[Joshua Dickerson]

Where in NJ do you live?

[mcblaber]

Wow a lot has changed in four years haha. I updated the original post and added a lot more information. I'm glad to be back on the team.

Where in NJ do you live?

What made you rejoin the team after so long a break?

[mcblaber]

What made you rejoin the team after so long a break?

Hmm. I suppose the thing that motivated me most is my major. I'm majoring in Information Technology Management with an emphasis on web development. So it's nice to relate things that I learn in class back to SMF and vice versa. I also missed helping out and contributing to a community, really a lot of the people I help here are really thankful that we volunteer our time to help them. It's a great feeling.
