The Matrix was cool because it went against authority and like other movies, it didn't suck up to get where it wanted to be.
In the Matrix Online, you have to go through an intense session of *CENSORED*-kissing to be recognized by the devs.
For instance, look at Aquatium. He gets his sig threads on the main site, and "coincidentally" he posts things like "the devs/mods are doing a good job" and "We can see that no one cares about Skoalmint".. blah blah blah.
So what did Skoal do? He didn't listen when authority told him to stop and he kept on showing the ways of 1337 RP. This is funny because Neo, in the movies, gave the agents the finger. I don't see him banned; in fact, I think he was the protagonist of the movies.
so go ahead mods, send me a warning about flaming <insert name here> (kind of like when you sent me one for flaming Trucidos when I actually didn't).
It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus mudered; Martin Luther King mudered; Malcolm X murdered; Gandhi murdered; John Lennon murdered; Skoalmint banned; Reagan.... wounded.
