Shut up Doomy, no-one is going to convert MS4 to Dx8 for you.
I don't think MS should die either. Sure, there are less people here these days then ever, but I don't see that as a fault of MS itself, It's simply a sign that things are moving on. Alot of people here are in their 20's, and grew up in a boom time for programming. I'm 14, and I remember when I first found eclipse, years and years ago. My peers were content with playing runescape and the like, I wanted to know how it worked. I moved on through communities, messing with playerworlds and elysium for a while. (I also tried chaos engine. Fuck that shit.) No-one I knew was interested, but I was. There was nothing else accessible for me at that time, and those little communities let me absorb knowledge from all the people around me. Anyway, eventually, when I was bitching about something or other, Robin came along and basically told me to shut the fuck up and go to mirage. Sure, I had a bit of a bitch fit when I got flamed from day 1, and I went and cried at vbGore, I came back. I came here and I learned. Alot. It's not just me. Look at Nean, he was a complete retard when he first got here (< 3) And Doomy even learnt to spell!
tl;dr Sob story, Nean is gay, Don't get rid of Mirage.
