Thanks guys.

Reason I'm asking a few questions is because I'm comparing 4 different forums worth of data to see whether players of an MMO and players of an FPS, RTS and others will feel differently.

I'm compiling the data for a friend and he's going to use it in a university project that points out the different hierachys of video game players.

For example RTS players on general are a lot more hardcore than FPS players, but less so than MMO players.

Plus it's kinda interesting to see peoples opinions on it because AH is the forum I surf the most.

Hmmm...This might be a favorite too. Why do people have to make me second guess myself?
