Hello deepthoughts1126, GrayLinnorm, Krom, Soviless, Seekerofskill, doswelk, cozard99
and the lurkers just signing up.
This is an addictive website of message boards and discussion of D&D and some other d20 games.
Its like sitting arond with your friends BSing about old games. Or talking over upcoming plans in your current ones. There is an endless stream of ideas and thought provoking suggestions for people activily playing and can provide entertainment and a quick fix to those without regular games.

not really. More like a colassal time sucking device.
There are Play -by-Post games in one of the forums, but I would suggest you lurk there(read without posting) for a while before signing up, Its a pretty heavy time comitment to join a game.
to Seekerofskill: the Archeive section has a number of threads called Q&A with Gary Gygax
and there is a current version somewhere as well.
Monte Cook posts infreqently as well and the writers of XP press are here alot. it is also a good bet that is someone has a link in their signature that allows you to buy a book then they are the writer/publisher of said book.
hope this helps : )
