No, but likely in the wrong spot as it isn't really General RPG Discussion.

Thanks for the Welcome Arthur. I've been surfing here annonymously for some time, so I'm quite a newbie, but I finally got a shiny username!

Have you read our current Zad/Wizardru's New Story Hour (Updated 9/8)

or our older WizarDru's Story Hour?
You Should.
I ain't linking to Piratecat's story hour...no sir, I just won't do it. He can just get the next half-million reads on his own.

Did I mention that I have a Livejournal? It's possible that I have.

This is a wonderful thread, but it needs to be wonderful in the correct forum. If it's about the boards and our members, it's Meta... and away we go.

Oh, and hi, new members! *waves*

Maybe we can direct them to it, with a few mentions in other threads.

That just heightens the excitement and challenge of providing individualized, specific greetings when we see a new member. Not only do we have the fun of a live and interactive scavenger hunt, we get to keep threads in the correct forums!

Public Service Hijack: Remember, folks, posting in the correct forum isn't optional or conditional, and it's even more important now that the number of displayed threads have been reduced to save bandwidth. Many thanks.

Arthur, I understand what you are saying about people not necessarily looking here in Meta. However, it is the correct forum. Maybe the description of the forum could be modified to sound a little more interesting? If you just look at the description, it sounds deadly boring.

Alas, I don;t have any wonderful thoughts on how to make it sound more like a forum everyone should be checking each day.

Thoughts from anyone else?

Oh, and hello to all the new Members at EN World. I'm glad you are here!

I hate that term, newbies... n00bs...

Reminds me of all the hours I spent Freshmen/Sophomore year of Highschool (actually, up until I discovered DnD in December of Sophomore year) playing First Person Shooters. I remember I made some kind of rules-system involving what to do about that term...

Anyway, welcome to the boards, anyone who finds this thread. Check out the Play by Post camp if you will, it's the Talking the Talk and Playing the Game forums.
