I need to try this "online gaming" thing at some point.

Someone mentions a high pre-puberty ratio and you get a need to try it.
Adding another type of player tommy has to watch for.

My primary issue with it has always been that I'm not motivated enough to actually pay for the service.

Another reason why I only play multiplayer games on my pc ;D

You know, I felt exactly the same way until I started playing Gears of War on Xbox live using the 1 month freebie card I got with my xbox360. the online play is amazing, the way the lobbies/rooms work is great, etc. I just bought a years subscription at compusa when they were going out of business (at 20% off) and said to heck with it. If I saw the $$ coming out of my acct every month, i might feel differently however.

Are you sure these are ten year olds? To use my personal experience as an example. IIRC, very few of a particular well known cheating clan were actually under the age of 15. The only one I can accurately recall being under 18 was a member who killed himself to avoid going to juvenile hall.
I've read a number of interviews with a well known CGS spokesperson and he always comes off as being a dick IMHO. I developed such a dislike for him that I blacklisted his handle from all my game servers and even scripted a bad mouthing impossible to kill bot in his honor. He might be a nice guy IRL, but he doesn't seem that way from the interviews.
A few years ago, a news station actually interviewed a father/son online cheating duo who were members of another well known cheating clan. The cock sucking news reporter actually made the father out to be a loving dad who only wanted his son to be competitive in the real world and was using games to teach him how to do it!! I think the son was around 14 at the time.
I was involved in a confrontation at an all night eatery where a buddy and I overheard a ~30 year old guy bragging to his date how he liked to cheat online. As soon as we heard the screen handle, my buddy went ballistic. It was the same guy who had been harrasing one of our servers non stop and acting like a six year old. Last I checked, the blood stains are still on the sidewalk.
Most of those people are most likely over 25 and living in moms basement. They know they can act as immature as they want and not deal with any repercussions.

I hear 10 year old voices on their mics. Maybe younger.
