yeah, last couple days...maybe we're still recovering from the Admiral situation. I think Chag has gone missing too. I think she said something about a vacation? Banging heads with someone is exhausting, even online. I've left another forum before because of that.
I hope no one hates me, but I also hope they come out and tell me if they do. charles hasn't been around as much - he's either busy, or I made too many jokes about Australians (which are never even slightly founded in reality btw). If anyone deserves to be made fun of, it's Americans imo.
anyway, I would like to point out that Brion is awesome for holding this thing together, and managing to host a very awesome forum, as far as I'm concerned. He seems to maintain a great balance between freedom and civility, and he never quite sinks to our levels of debauchery, even though the temptation must be overwhelming. XD
On the bright side, I think a couple people who are old masters have shown up just lately. I agree with Chag by the way that they ought be respected. I don't know where Admiral was coming from, taking the opposite side. It shouldn't even be an issue as far as I'm concerned. But the thing is, they started all these games that we have been having fun playing - why mess with that?
But I wonder if she would consider maybe after a while modifying the first post of this thread to make it less of a rant, and maybe change the title. I could see it seeming a bit strange to any new players/forumites.
edit: oh, and I've been actually working the last few days. Getting ready for a big s/w release...
edit2: actually, I forgot some people hang out extensively in the RP forums or art forums, which I don't normally look at much, so sometimes even though it's quiet up here, people are still around, just busy doing creative stuff
