Obviously yes.
Now I'm using my player off time to give the SHL another go and wtf is the hype about? It's not bad but where's this enormous activity people are talking about when they're chatting shit on VHL? It takes me just as long to surf the SHL as it does the VHL. SHL people here are like, you have no OT chat, well shit, you've got nothing good going on in that forum either. Considering the difference in members who log in every day (90 vs 200), there isn't double the activity. I dunno what people do, but they sure as hell aren't posting shit loads.
I never argued against this before as I wasn't active in the SHL so when I did log in, there was lots to catch up to, obviously. Just like when I was less active here. But now that I've experienced it, eh, overrated. Activity is just an excuse some people use it seems because they are comfortable in their little cliques and don't have them in the VHL.
