Glad We're Back

As much fun as that nutty Nutkin- er, Nothingland- is, I'm glad ENWorld is back up!

Nah, I'd rather have ENWorld than Nothingland. It's not bad, but ENWorld fits my style better. Might occasionally poke my head in, but not do much posting there.

I'd be more in favor of Randomling's House, but our firewall doesn't seem to like it that much. :\

Glad to be back. Nothingland is OK, but not my style.

Are you mad? THe Wizards boards are actually like the worst gaming boards ever. The only purpose it serves is to see who actaully playes D&D and it explains why the game has evolved the way it has. Thank goodness we have d20 and a few companies who try to put intelligence into their product.

I was wondering if a tree had crashed into the computer and destroyed the hardrive containing the enworld files...

I am glad to see Enworld is back intact.

Really bad for those who have lost their home though... :\ (I am amazed there is no law in Florida forbidding to build homes not made to resist hurricanes, as if i understand well, there is hurricanes in florida every year. )

I am glad that EN World is back up!! I just hope it is a long time before another outage like the last one. (Considering the scenes of devastation from Florida on the news, EN World's problems were quite small.)

Yep, I'm glad we survived without any permanent damage. From what I hear, though, a lot of people living in Florida weren't so lucky; we got off extremely lightly when all we have to comlpain about is a couple of days' downtime.

DId he say something on the Mortality boards, or did you hear from him personally? I had been looking on Mortality, but never saw anything, and I always hate to bother someone personally in the middle of a rough time, but I'm glad he gave word he's O.K.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

nothing land does not appreciate bunnies.
but i'm glad enworld is back and the florida enworlders are relatively ok.

I agree with Crothian we must deluge nothing land at least once a year or even once a month, simply because they deserve us and we must also choose the cutest, most annoyingly sweet avatars we can find too just to see them blanch. (my personal 2 cents)

I kept calling through the weekend to find out if everyone was OK (lines down/busy signal) and finally got through on Sunday night. I didn't stay on with them long (they've got plenty of clean up to handle) but I wanted to be sure no one was hurt (or worse). That's as much as I know but I was sure that there were folks here who would also be relieved to hear the news.

We wub you too snookums.

It was fun having some extra traffic over the weekend, and I'm glad to hear the folks in Florida are okay. Heck leopold was sitting on his porch posting to NTL on his notebook *during the hurricane!*

Glad to have ENWorld back though. I missed my daily visit to confirm that no, Piratecat hasn't updated his story hour.

The thing that I enjoyed the most about EN World going down was visiting NKL and seeing Crothian with less than 20 posts to his name.

It looked...weird.
