SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Taking a break

Life occasionally has a way of spiralling out of control sometimes, and in the last few months mine has been circling the drain.  Rather than keep escaping into the internet, I've decided to take a serious break from the forums and webcomics and try to grab the reins before driving off the cliff.

Doncha love mixed metaphors? I do.

Anyway, while I doubt many of you will miss me, I figure its only polite to 'sign off' officially and let you know that as long as I don't let my demons get the best of me once and for all, I will be back.

Try not to think of that as a threat.

Who knows, maybe I'll use the time off to go on a road trip and do illegal and unpleasant things to unpleasant people...;)

Nah.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I'll miss you, I like your posts.  I doubt I'm alone in that.

Good luck with getting stuff together, hope to see you again.

Er...

Wow! I didn't expect anything more than maybe a snark or two.  :confused:

Anyway. I'm back, sort of. Still have to keep it to a minimum.   Trying to cut down on internet time and use that for actual... you know... work and other important things.  

I hope to have some productive posts up soon enough.  My MRQ game is running smoothly finally, though no one seems to care about the actual play thread so I think I'll finally let it die.
