I see you've decided to tinker with the "user descriptions".
Will you spill on what they all are, or do we have to try and figure it out for ourselves?

OK, Bob's gonna kick me off the board if I don't post *something*, so...
Hmm. In no particular order, I'm 36, a fan of DW & EPU, a performer and sometimes merchant at various ren faires around the Midwest, a fan of Spider Robinson and Robert A. Heinlein, and in no particular order.

Just to let you know: Starting February 1st, I'm going to be deleting the board membership of anyone who hasn't posted anything in three months.
I've discovered we've got a bit of deadwood in the member list -- including a few people who joined in the first couple days the board existed and have never posted, ever. Just to keep it easy to administer the board, I'll be deleting inactive members from the member base.
Just a fair warning, in case you happen to be one of the inactive.

This user appears to have drifted in solely to drop a spam advertisement in "The Game". Although it's unlikely that they'll be coming back, I'm banning him/her/it to prevent any future problems.
Anyone with a good reason why I shouldn't do so is invited to let me know, so I can reverse the decision.

Appeared to be spam and has been deleted.

See the ezAnnouncement I've made visible for information on the board's unavailability on Sunday.

While poking about to find the right way to turn Offsides into a moderator, I also got around to making a few changes to the way the boards are laid out.
1. Graphic smilies have been graphically eliminated. I just got utterly sick of them.
2. Based on extensive user feedback, I've moved the "members online" display to the top of the page.
3. I've tweaked the odd setting here and there, but I doubt you'll notice anything soon.
Your overall enjoyment of the forums should not be adversely affected and will remain positive. Or else.
Thanks.

In order that I might have a backup while I am fully immersed in the Book from Hell, I have asked Offsides to act as a moderator for the discussion forum. Luckily for me, he accepted.
You shouldn't see much change in the way things work; given how well behaved our community is, I doubt he'll have to exercise his vast moderator powerz any time soon.

As I've mentioned elsewhere in the last 24 hours, I am putting the DW3 project on hold until I re-evaluate my plotting. In the mean time I will be proceeding directly to Drunkard's Walk V.

...so Shinji lays the 400% smack down on Zeruel and gets absorbed into 01 as per spec... and while the techs are working on pulling him out via tried-and-failed technology, Doug experiments with some tunes and eventually comes up with one that works: -Mother and Child Reunion-.
And isn't everyone surprised when it works a hell of a lot -better- than Doug expected...!
Up side: bloody obvious, innit?
Down side: might significantly degrade Shinji's sync fu... but at that point he probably wouldn't mind! Also, if Asuka isn't already far down the road to wellness, this could really set her back (a la the Sabers and resurrection)...
(Could Doug -see- the various distinct souls/life forces in there, I wonder...?)
