Unfortunately AvA can't seem to get the critical mass. It's a bummer, because it's a lot of fun. Like Dicho said, there's a few trash talkers (why is that necessary? It's like some giblet-head in the movie theater talking on his cell during the movie), but all in all much more fun than the MA. Noticeable lack of alt-monkeys and cherry pickers. Better fights, less hording. When I see more than a few ppl in there I head on in.
Come and join the fun. If we can get critical mass, all the better.
