Ok ... I am almost ready to give up. Come into the ole crimson forum, see a world of replies and activity ... but no, they are all gone ... is this some kinda christmas anomaly? Has the crimson forum become some kinda electronic bermuda triangle into which all new bungie.net members disappear?

I am a novice, wow fun? Now online quite popular, I heard that http://www.mmolive.com is a more professional wow game gold website, it is reliable? Trustworthy?

Oh Microsoft did cry ... the effect is known as [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome]Stockholm syndrome[/url]. When someone is held hostage and threatened enough they have a dependency transference and believe that the person doing them harm is actually required. Thankfully someone at Microsoft broke that pattern and bungie got dropped - but not too sure that the long term harm hasn't killed off the brand anyway. Nice Crimson find ... could say it was a '[i]pirated[/i]' reference :)
