well, let's see:
1) we have TTK and GGK actively involved in Spray. Always makes the place go to shit real fast when either of those two worthless fucks are around
2) FW's troll on Jesse Helm's death led right to the bottom of the barrell really quick
3) Spray sucked so bad even MattP and Bug had to repeat their oft-stated comments about how it pulls the whole site down
4) Scott led about a dozen endless, rehashed political debates/trolls. Let's talk about Iraq some more!
5) Minx, Archie, and other cool people who generally lighten things up were noticably absent
