        if you go to the "Your Games" page, the active game is on the top left. there's a quit button. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 11:01 1

  - ok fine, you're not short. you're just un-tall. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 10:43 5
    - Shut it, Capt Caveman. I'm not so sure you're not the product of some Neanderthal/Human genetic experiment gone wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 10:55 3
      - You have a very tall and buff twin brother with a goofy Austrian accent. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 10:56 2
