This forum is for discussing the fifth Step in the Drunkard's Walk, tentatively entitled "Holy, Holy, Holy... Cow!" and set in the world of "Oh! My Goddess". This Step is under active development. It is fully plotted out and about 80K of material is written already. Current projections suggest it will be somewhat shorter than DW2, and thus faster to produce...

Occasionally -- but admittedly infrequently -- over the past 11 months, we have seen instances of spam, scams, inappropriate and just clueless posts on the board. I could probably eliminate much of this by requiring that users register for the board first before being allowed to post. However, a number of the users are unregistered and probably want to stay that way.
What do people think? Have these messages been annoying enough to you to warrant this? Or do you want the forums to remain as open as they are now?

In blatant imitation of the EPU Forums' marketplace area, here's my own place for buying and selling. Not that there's usually very much action here, but you get the idea. I have a standard warning about abusing the privilege to post ads here, but so far no one but me seems to have used the privilege, much less abused it.

A new featurette for the board: As I get the time and opportunity, I'm going to be making use of the "sticky" function to add permanent "this is what this forum" is messages to all areas. It'll probably take me a day or two to get around to everything. No big deal, but I figured people would want to know what I'm doing.
