Most game forums I am on have a "Hi, I am (insert info here), let me tell you a bit about myself" thread.. generally with pictures. Did I miss that on here, or should I start a new one?
I am just getting to know folks who regularly reply and whos threads I check often, and figured a 'getting to know each other' thread would be worthwhile. |

FWIW, in my opinion the absence of such a thread is a good thing, though the occasional introduction thread has cropped up and usually dies off before it gets closed for being off-topic.
(There were, IIRC, more introductions in the Lounge, but the Lounge has been closed for quite some time now.) ~J |

Way back in the dim depths of prehistory a whole bunch of us posted pics of ourselves into a yahoo group...and for the record they are still there.
Can't remember what it was called...but it shouldn't be hard to find. |

Eh, fair enough I suppose. Was just wondering if I had overlooked it.
I wonder what it would take to get the lounge open again? I might try this on the OT forum. |

Probably the retirement of the current admin staff. There are some unpleasant memories of the Lounge. ~J |

Hardly surprising, I don't think we've had any Sydney meets since then either... |

It seems like the GM/Player Registry Forum would be an appropriate location for threads introducing yourself to other players. Maybe the additional traffic will point people to others looking to get together to actually play a game. :)

We should make them give us a new Lounge, by rioting in the threads of every existing sub-forum, flaming each other horribly, tearing every conversation off-topic, lighting shit on fire, and kicking to death anyone who tries to stop us! The time is now! COME THE REVOLUTION! Fists in the air, let us march, my brothers!
NO LOUNGE, NO PEACE! |

Wow. Inciting domestic terror is easier than I thought!

So you´d plead guilty on a charge of "domestic terror"??

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already do all of that? |

But the suggestion is for a forum completely devoted to that. |

Heh, why don't we start a swingers club for unsightly internet recluses with zero social skills/hygiene?

But I don' wanna be in da' air. :( As has been said by others, the Lounge is gone and likely staying that way. I wasn't around at that time, but I've seen some of the old threads and some of them were down right nasty. Adam and Bull are against it, and quite solidly, so that's really as far as it goes. |

I don't really care either way. I just wanted to see if I could start a riot.

Oh I know you don't care. But Omar is new and likely doesn't know the deal behind the lack of Lounge love among the core Admin head What-nots here.

Well, if we don't get a Lounge, can we at least get the Creepwoodrun thread stickied? :) |

Why? I reread that monstrosity again recently, for no apparent reason I can think of, but I digress. That thread is not what I would call a good thing, a funny thing, but not a good thing. Now the Drop Bear thread on the other hand.

Not nesseceraly*, it just depends on your view of things. To us it's funny, but to Creepwood it's probably not. I'll admit I'm the first to laugh if something goes wrong and somebody gets hurt, but to that person more often than not it's not funny.
*How do you spell this word I messed it up so badly spellcheker doesn't reconize it. |
