I was in a counter-strike clan for a long time. We were all varying levels of dork. Clan members doubled as mods for our server, and we ran a server with classic rules and kept it tight. Almost always had a full server (12 people) between ourselves and the randos that joined our community. Spent soooo many hours bullshitting about our stupid teenage lives while headshotting each other. We had ventrilo, a old sql forum, and steam.
Everyone is still on steam friends but don't talk like we used to. None of us play counter-strike anymore after it moved to CS:GO, so we lost that common thread. I'm mainly focused on my WoW guild and community there now.

Mmmmm Riot. When I want my games with a side of misogyny, softcore porn and diluted game mechanics.
