DonathinFrye kind of proves my point when he states "players that enjoy permanent death" - as if players enjoy permanent death, that's like talking about "players that enjoy getting banned" - while keeping a straight face.

I think many people are familiar with the so called "abusive admins" who treat players like dirt, and some people put up with that. There appears to be a niche for players that like being abused, and since abusive admins eventually get bored and/or sloppy, the only way to provide guaranteed abuse is to hard code it.

Some women find themselves unable to leave a man who beats them, and these AFS people apparently find themselves incapable of leaving behind an equally unhealthy situation. What I don't quite understand is why they try so hard to get others to join them, though I guess it makes for quite the bonding experience when you're being abused together.
