I think part of the problem might be that we've whittled ourselves down to mostly adults here (not that I'm complaining) the younger crowd of players is hanging on TS and servers with ppl their own age, where there's more of the same mentality,(i'm talking the 18 - 20 somethings)  and I agree that UT3 will have an impact. I poke around in gaming sites on public platforms (facebook ect.) and look for players who aren't affiliated with another clan. I invite them to check us out, and try to keep up an ongoing  banter with them to sort of see what they're like (fucktard or not lol ) There is still a LOT of 99 players out there from what I see, we just need to get out there and let them know that we're here. Once they get on our TS they like coming back because we are the personalities we are.  The younger players can't always appreciate some of the humor, but they like listening. We've lost a lot of members in the last little while, that has to be taken into account too, because they have taken their 'friends' with them (not that it's a bad thing in ALL the cases lol) Xtacy still wants to join, and he's the type of player we're looking for, he's a decent guy too, I imagine he's not the only one in his crowd who plays.
Anyways, that's just my opinion being thrown out there....
