CAGiversary!

After reading the StarCraft 2 thread and seeing that there are some people interested in playing StarCraft/Brood War again I decided to make a thread for it.
Battle.net just released a new patch that enables people to create online leagues and I thought if there were enough CAGs interested in playing, that we could create a CAG league.
Here is some info on the new patch
http://www.battle.net/info/patch.shtml
If you are interested in joining a league, just post in here.
Also, if anyone here is good with HTML and would want to create a website for us that would be great!

Friend list info
Number of friends in the list
The maximum number of friends in the list is 25.
Levels of friendship
Friend
A user adds another user to their friend list. When a user lists their friends they will receive information about all of their friends in digest form. This will allow at a glance to see which of your friends are online. The digest information is similar to the current output of the /whois command. For each user you will see which program they are using and which channel/game they are in (so long as it's a public channel/game). For Diablo II the name of the game is not revealed (even if it's public).
Mutual Friend (or Close Friend)
Since we want to provide more features to users who trust each other, if users add each other to their friends list they will be considered mutual friends. When enumerating friends, mutual friends will have their channel/game name revealed even if the user is in a private channel/game so that they can always find each other. When mutual friends perform certain actions they may be notified. The current notifications are;
There are three separate flags, which a user can set to customize which incoming chat messages are ignored.
Just about anyplace in battle.net (including the friends command themselves) you can refer to your friends via a short cut. To use a shortcut use %f[num] where num refers to your friend by their position in you friends list. For example to whisper to your number one friend you would use /msg %f1 hi there
Other Information
When /dnd is activated you will not receive entry notifications from mutual friends.
If you attempt to add a person that is already on your friends list you will receive a notification that the person you are attempting to add is already on your friends list.
Universal Chat Commands
The following commands can be used in any chat channel. For StarCraft, Warcraft II BNE, and Warcraft III players, they can also be used during game setup or while a game is in progress.
The following commands can only be used while in a chat room.
The following commands can only be used by channel operators (the person with the gavel
