If i've said this one i've said it a thousand times, why be in a social hockey sim if you don't want to be social? People need to get over themselves and get excited for the tags, usually they mean good things and if you don't like it ignore it...not that hard.
Don't let the haters get you down, ask anyone i've @members for way less important things, people will live. They will bitch but they will live!
Also the graphics competition sounds nice ! I'll never win but it sounds fun
