[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Rip Saw You have to put in a lot of effort to get a chapter to be big. And if you want it to be huge, then you may need more than just the people in your area. Although I applaud you if you choose to make your chapter area specific. Most of the chapters made now aren't intended to be.[/quote] My problem is that there are 2 chapters in my area - one is filled with 12 year olds ( I'm not lying about it either) and the other is apparently defunct - the last news item something about - I got sick of the game - I'll see you X-Mas '03 when Halo2 comes out - I am trying to open a chapter for my area - but I am dreading the wait... By the way if anyone is in St. Petersburg, FL AIM me at 'gamejunkyjim' to be considered for the chapter if and when the charter is approved. I initially will have the membership open to St. Petersburg, Gulfport, Pinella Park, Kenneth City and Pasadena, but if demand is high I will expand to all of Pinellas County. I believe in game ratings, so M-17 means I wish for you to be at least 17 years old. I may allow you as probationary at 16 years old.
