3 Completely Unrelated Questions
<div class="IPBDescription">Feel free to delete once answered</div> I have a question to ask you knowledgeable forumites, but so as not to waste a thread, i'm going to throw 2 other in there with it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1. What happened to #naturalselection? I'm an IRC nub and vaugely recall something happened to gamesnet, so where is #naturalselection now? I find it strange that it is not mentioned once on ns.org, or if it is I couldn't find it. Suppose it's one way to keep the nubs out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2. How is the army organised? I mean, afaik, 10 men is a squad, several squads make a platoon, several platoons make a division, and several divisions make a regiment, am I right? Are there any exact numbers for this? Just curious. I realise this might be different for different countries.
3. Why a sudden trend towards end-of-the-world threads? I can recall seeing 4 threads about the end of the world in the last month, 5 if you count my Evangelion thread. Could this be a sign :o
O.k the last one was more of an observation tbh. Answers on the back of a postcard, or just click the "reply" button, whatever works for you. Winners will recieve a cookie that is not non-existant in any way at all*.

*edit* O.k, another question, how do I get those letters to actually BE SMALL DAMMIT! And the funky letters-crossed-out thing i've seen a few people use, that too. Not only IRC nub but HTML nub as you can see. *edit*
*edit* O.k, the letters are small, but i've seen people use really minute lettering, what sort of HTML h4x is it they employ? *edit*

Gamesnet lost a court battle to keep thier name, so renamed themselves to gamesurge. You need to connect to irc.gamesurge.net

It should be [ / S I Z E ] , not [/size=1]
I believe the Strikethough tag is [ s ] [ / s ]
Probably has something to do with global social unrest, happens every now and then
(think y2k was overhyped? try y1k!)
Not to worry, in a couple of years, after this whole terrorist thing fades out, things will be back to 'normal'
You'll have to learn Kantonese though =D
