[Rant] We're Slowly Being Forgotten...

[Michael Morris]

By we I mean all of the individuals who work to maintain the hosted sites. We're no longer linked on the ENWorld main page, so to remind you we are (in alphabetical order)

Claudio Pozas Art & Design
Creature Collection
Conan d20
Crooked Staff Productions
Dusk
Jagged Edge Games (Umbragia)
Malls & Morons
Middle Earth d20
Roleplaying Master
The 13 Kingdoms
World of Inzeladun

From here on out I'll speak only for myself.

I would address this privately to Russ but I'm presuming this change came as a result of the polling that was ran a few months ago. The respondents of course are everyone here on the board.

Now, I am presented with two options.

1) Let the setting die.
Nope, not an option, especially with Art of Magic so close to completion and some amount of vindication after years of work at hand. The work on that book is taking all of my time, and for the first time it isn't being handed out - more on that in a bit.

2) Increase advertising.
Now, I distinctly remember having to put up with a LOT of whining and complaining everytime I spoke the word Dusk. As a result I've dropped to pretty much 0 ad activity.

Well, I guess I have to advertise....

I had a lot of other things to rant about, but I'll stop here before really putting my foot in my mouth.

Hey, I've got a question for you:

What was the rationale for making the dusk site look just like WOTC's? Just asking, that's all.

 

[Zappo]

I think some more advertising would be fine. Though personally, I didn't mind the link on the main page either.

 

[BSF]

Actually, it would be kind of cool to have a link for hosted sites within the forums too. Unfortunately, I am not sure how difficult it would be to add to vbulletin. But, a button next to "Home" for "Hosted Sites" would be nice.

The official statement on the matter:

Doh! I forgot 'em! I'll fix it tomorrow.

Scooted over to Meta. Thanks for the link, Aitch Eye; it's proof that the simplest explanation is often the correct one.

OK, everybody: Razor hand if you know what Clay is talking about.

 

[alsih2o]

rock me amadeus?

am i the only one who remembers this?

rock me amadeus may not be too close to ocham eridanis (ochams razor, the simplest solution is probably right)

sigh, if only i were obscure and interesting, instead of obscure and scarily handsome...

 

[Eridanis]

Face it, Clay. We're old men. These young'uns know nothing of bad-yet-good early 80s music. Perhaps that's for the best.

My pun still stands, though. You'd at least better laugh, 'cause now that song is stuck in my head!
