We are now inhabiting the barren shell of what used to be a great forum, scavenging for supplies and rep-away.

It is said there was some sort of shelter the Admins used to escape, but none have ever found it...

Though, in all that carnage, some of us actually prospered at last. So it wasn't all bad.

The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed.


Nah, but seriously, things changed? I honestly never noticed. The last 6 years have been a daze (oh god I just realised I've now wasted 6 years of my life on this forum what the shit!).

Wait, are you talking about new personalities & goofballs showing up? Because trust me, this is pretty much the way things have always been.

If you want more detail than this, talk to somebody else. After a few years, it just seems like background noise.

It's immediately to the left of your Log Out button on the top right of the screen.

You would be surprised how many regulars still only now are discovering the chat button despite it being brought up or being the subject of numerous threads.

Not to mention the giant glowing thread that announced it.

Well okay, maybe it wasn't so giant glowing, but it was active for about a week.

I think he means "Wait: nothing's in the same position it used to be in, and none of the subforums have the same names. Also, who're the current moderators?"

In which case - things have changed quite a bit. While I couldn't give you a list of mods (there've been a few changes), mostly the various subforums were reorganized for space and memory reasons, and to help stabilize the server (if I recall correctly). Several people/members have had their names changed (check out the relevant thread for that). A number of people were banned forever. Sometimes more than once. Some of them are back now. Some are definitively not.

I had a baby. And I still never got to play in a Smarty McBarrelpants D&D game, bother it all!

Did I miss anything major, guys?

Brian decided he hated us all and kicked us off his server. Our merciful lord the great and powerful Shiney took pity and gave us a new home. Hence the URL change.

Wait. "Decided"? As in "Didn't always"?

I imagine there was some point near the beginning when he liked all the adulation. Mainly there was just a tipping point where the hatred swelled to such epic proportions that it could no longer be contained. We do like being assholes around here after all. Its like our thing.

I'm no asshole, I'm a nice guy.

Man how do people not know about chat? The chat is where it all happens. Fuck the forums.
