Most of the STOCs Alumni (like myself ) agree with your sentiments Brian. But we don't get to vote about it. The problem, afaiu, is that the policy in DCU has changed and that if STOCs doesnt' have a big enough committee and active membership it will cease to exist in the eyes of SPC who give funding to the societies. Effectivily it'll die anyway with no chance of revivial except as a "new" society and have to start all over again with funding etc. I think the current committee saw that merging with the Games Soc will keep the society alive, but not so in the eyes of us old farts. I'll miss it. I was certainly still going to STOCs meetings up until last year (when we had another baby). If they had needed money, I would have certainly paid above and beyond the normal student membership... -- http://thedeadone.net http://irishgamingwiki.com
