It's probably more work for Enrico, but I've always advocated "less is more." Keep communities together, and branch off when needed. You'd hate to over-organize and add sections that remain depressingly empty. We'll know the time is right for, say, VASSAL requests section when the requests start adding up in other forums.

Hey, ya know...just thoughts...the video thing I think is self-evident, the Vassal because a lot of folks seem to be using it these days and an all in one category for all hook ups is fine.

Just having a one-stop would be great instead of having 10 browsers open to keep track of everything...just sayin'

BTW - Looks like you helped move every copy of Guelphs & Ghibellines at NKG...last copy sold 2 days ago...

Awesome. I guess.

You damn right 'awesome' Smiley

The biggest problem with my vids is organizing the fucers.

There's no structure as good as the Geeklist for 'em. So, even if I
imported them all, it would still be easier for people to access them
from BGG.

Opening discussions on them here though - hell, that's free game. And anyone
can post 'em (here or anywhere).

That's what I was thinking...just a category where a thread can be started for each series and commenting can happen right there with the videos...still trying to figure out how to embed YT here (is it the insert flash button?)...I know these forums...just been a long time...

And then one for everybody else (hell, I might start posting vids again)...sorry if I seem way open about this man, but after all the restrictions at BGG this is the fresh air of freedom Smiley

Any way to stop the forum software from bleeping salty language? That's not an admin function? Or is this software written by Mormons?   Grin


There's no fucking way to handle it without paying. For that cost, I could set up pure SMF on a regular host.
If you remember the strange repetitive 'fucks', it was me trying to fool the system. If you want a crack at
it, I'll give you admin privs - but I don't think it can be done.

No no you guys are wrong. Its in preferences.

Go to: Profile > Look and Layout Preferences (under Modify Profile) > Check "Leave words uncensored."

****ing works, bro.

Ah **** it doesnt work. God dammit


**** this place with its goddamn oppression! Lets go back to BGG where they dont censor us!  Tongue

Now THAT is f'u'c'k'i'n'g funny...

Mmm...most of the features are better served by BGG.
As an example, I see no reason to move my vids here.


General Product Announcement Threads could be stickied in the relevant sections though.
If someone starts such, that will happen I guess.

I thought it would be nice just to have your videos start appearing here if it's not to much trouble to imbed.

And honestly, I think you have a hit on your hands here and as for myself I would just as soon never go back into the BGG forums again. If it wasn't for the files I would have closed out there a long time ago...that and with no G+ account it was the only way to talk to you and some of the other guys from YT.

Anyway, just thoughts...you want 100 people...more sections means more people...

Again, thanks for starting this up. Let the 'wyrd' begin Smiley

(1) A section just for our host's videos  Smiley

(2) A section for announcements for new games INCLUDING Kickstarter games.

(3) A section to post game videos (anything to keep from having to go to YT all the time).

(4) A section for people looking to swap/sell games.

(5) A section for people looking to find players for F2F, Vassal, etc.

(6) An upcoming conventions section.

I just want to say thank you for making us a new home. The double standard at BGG has finally just worn me down. Glad to have a place to actually talk.

He really needs to cut way back or stop. I have stopped purchasing anything with his name on it and now Decision as well after they released Brian Train's Greek Civil War with Joe's broken ruleset (that he keeps shoe horning everything into) and didn't even tell Brian they were doing it (he released his original rules that had been corrected for the issue).

The battle that broke out over at CSW a little while back even brought Doc in saying that he is notorious for turning in too big of a design at the last minute and then they have to whack parts off to make it fit. (This has been going on since Nicaragua! - there's not enough counters to play the game and you are told to make more...now think about when that game was published)

I could do a blow by blow from my own shelves but needless to say I will not buy another thing with his name on it. His only moment of clarity has been 'Operation Anaconda' and that was excellent. But if you see the words 'Hyperwar' or 'Netwar' or that a game is using the system from Decision: Iraq I would steer clear of it...

And I mean the games are so broken that they are missing parts, rule sets to the wrong game (the release of 'Holy Land' is known out in the scene as 'Holy F***' - that was when he finally snapped on a customer on CSW and DG had to step in and cool things off).
