There are other forums where you can more than indulge yourself, even some filled with DSers. |

He'd take it as a compliment. And I meant it as one. |

I think we were hashing out the rules and experimenting with house rules more - but it was dealing with the more complicated stuff, like how targetting worked with astral perception. Now there are more basic rule questions and "pimp my character" threads (although to be fair, the majority are looking for feedback on how coherent their backstory is and whether they have made any major mistakes or omissions - not too many of them are trying to create the perfect combat machine. And the ones that are usually get all of the weaknesses of their botched min-maxing pointed out to them). There were still plenty of min-maxing experiments back then, too, although they were more theoretical than practical - they were number-crunching monstrosities, not characters intended for play.
There are some posters I miss, but some I don't. I think I am so tolerant of Emo because he actually seems kind of mild after Chad H, Crazy Elf, lorg, and others that I remember (uh, not to cast any aspersions on those fine gents or anything ;)). The Lounge was actually pretty fun for awhile, but I think shutting it down was the right decision - the flaming was getting out of hand, and I can see how it was becoming a big headache for the mods to deal with. I think the forums are still going pretty strong. They have always had long stretches where all of the questions seem banal, but then a batch of more interesting threads comes along. |

sorry emo - we should really stick to words you understand... Banal - adj. devoid of freshness or originality; hackneyed; trite: emo's polls are totally, like, banal. and glyph was talking about the current state of the forums, not your posts specifically. |

I know what banal means, which is why I was all insulted and shit.

Huh? I don't get it. And the "insulted and shit" part was ironic.
