There was a good number back during the time of SFC1. However, the community acted a different way during that time. Don't get me wrong. There were still assholes. However, with mplayer and voice chatting, it was easy to boot out the unwanted buttheads. From my recollections, the women that I remember that had the best voices were two sisters: Heavenly and Dream were their handles. They were from Australia. Some former members who used to play SFC1 on mplayer understand who I am talking about. I guess because I was always a sucker for accents.
As for now, Gamespy is not comfortable. Everytime I am in there. Things just feel too forced. Some people will know what I am talking about. On mplayer, it was just more comfortable. So, my guess is that they are out there, but keep things on the quiet side, or in their own areas so to speak. Who could blame them? Things are different now.
