Is it me or are there quite a few new people on this board..?.. I think MQ has been getting too much press in the last few months.
It's odd actually, I looked back through may of the "joined dates" and noticed a bit of a pattern of people joining around certain times. Seems like some event happens once or twice a year that draws more people to this little oasis.

It always happens that way. Usually there will be an article on some website, blaming MQ for a nerf or patch. Something along the lines of "so-and-so was using MQ for such-and-such an exploit, so they nerfed it."
Everyone sees that MQ exists and goes looking for it, and we get a bunch of newbs who don't bother to RTFM and expect to have everything handed to them in a nice tidy package. A lot of them will leave when they realize MQ requires work to use, it's not some sort of "push this button and get a gazillion plat" cheat code.

I may not have been the first to join (day after Amadeus actually), and may not have the highest post count, but I do have the unique honor as the first to actually contribute a patch...
