Yeah, you definitely need to turn off some of those startup items.

In order from left ro right:

1. Speaker settings: This can stay as a startup item 'cause it's small and handy.
2. Dial-up connection: that's ok too.
3. No idea what that is.
4. Intellimouse software - doesn't need to be loaded at startup to offer the same functionality.
5. nVidia Desktop Control - memory hog and not needed unless you use dual monitors.
6. ICQ Lite - memory hog and loaded with spyware/adware. Get Trillian instead.
7. MSN - only useful if you've disabled the popups. Get Trillian instead.
8. Teamspeak - \o/
9. Task Manager?
10. Some sort of RAM monitor - these programs generally don't work. Use CachemanXP instead.

to stop those programs loading up each time you boot your computer, use this program.

Oh, and yeah, please convert images to jpg at least because that was a long download for just another gank.

There is a slight difference Fisho between posting a sort of roleplay propaganda statement (which Im still on the fence about tbh) and posting screenies of a gank titled Log off Lamer.

Aeryn is one of the most respected peeps around and to kill him with 30 odd ships and then try and tell the whole community he is a lame log off merchant is a whole nother thing.

We killed Xirt in U3K a few weeks and he 'lost connection; whislt we killed him. Did we run to the boards with screenies ???

A simple 'CA have returned home and made U-Q first priority, re-taking of the homelands begins' might have surficed ??.

Yes I agree with your 'its only a game' . Which can be evidenced in the way we responded to Wild Hopes post vs the way the ever so mature CA peeps respond to Jimmys posts.

I do have one question which isnt meant as a flame or an insult. But what is CA's thinking behind having a 70 man fleet in the same place. There is no way atm with current server 70 man fleet could be engaged. If we "we" being xetic also bought a 70 man fleet to hed 140 peeps in same spot trying to fight it would pointless half would crash, frame rate would be like 0.001. Why doesnt CA just bring a 15-20 man fleet where someone could actually have a fight that doesnt rewquire typing you password every 5 secs to log back in. Please do not take this as flaming at all it is a serious question of why CA brings such a big fleet. Id also ask no one not in CA starts flaming it either please.

1: We got a lot of pilots lookign for action. Seems rumors of our demise were a tad off.

Unfortunately this blobbing is not a new thing.
Bull****.
That you have many pilots looking for action is NOT really the reason.
Cause every half decent PvPer knows there is no action in a 70 man blob. Your 70-man gang doesn't kill more ships than I alone can do.
The real reason is that your pilots are scared. They are afraid to go into small engagement where it's about skill instead of lag.
So, after taking lots of losses in smaller fights it's very usual for CA to blob up like this.
It's a confidence boost. They get to show themself how 'good' they are. And they can feel pretty safe. And should they score a gank kill all 70 of them get registered in the CA killstats. So that their members can say "yea, I lost this fight with you, but look here, I've killed 10 battleships over the last month" (nevermind he had 69 others sharing those kills and the victim never loaded space)(and like 10 ships over a month is something to brag about).

"Seems rumors of our demise were a tad off". Not at all. That you immediately created such a huge blob once the better players came back from Fountain shows that you are weak. While a 70 player fleet may seem like something strong, digging deeper and asking why shows something entirely different.
