Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I honestly haven been part of the online gaming community for that same reason, because the environment of online gaming has turned me away from it.
Although I do see these cyber clans as a means of cyberfeminism, I think that this is not a way that may integrate women into the online gaming world. I think that clans such as these might initially serve a great purpose of including women in this online world. I think this might actually be damaging in the long run because the key differences between gender might actually serve to further splinter the already exclusively white male online gaming arena.
