One of the big reasons I signed up on staff here on the new Nutkinland is the shear wealth of goodies available. Yes, we have the message board, but we also have quite a bit more.
Currently, I'm going through the blog section. You can get there several ways. If you go into the Site Comments forum, you'll see all the recent posts in the blogs and other sections. These don't show up when you click the New Posts link so, if you think nothing is going on on the site, take a look in there. You might just find a bunch of activity that you never would have known about.
Alternately, if you look right on the the number of posts each person has, you'll see a big nut. If you click on that, you'll go to that person's blog. Not everyone has something in there yet (um, like me, yeah...), but more and more people do every day.
Alternately alternately, you can go up to the nuts at the top of the page. Click on Gamer Blogs. It'll show the most recent new entries. I've been particularly interested in DDrader, Cyberzombie, Maddman, and Levi Kornelson's entries, but there are a lot more to look at.
The more you look and comment, the more likely people are to post. And who knows -- maybe you (and me) will be moved to actually post something, too. :bow:
