I am an RPG.net refugee and I stick around because I prefer the moderation model here.  I think that every dumbass has the right to embarrass themselves in a public forum and the proper response should be a hail of insults, catcalls, and thrown garbage.  Maybe this ideal is unworkable in any but a small-scale setting, but that is enough for me that it is being attempted here.

I was on NTL some time ago, then in Damnation Army etc. Was mostly offline for quite some time, and I never really liked the political talk of NTL & Co. – the discussions evolved too much into same old, same old posturing over time.

Saw a link at EnWorld that NTl was back up, called the "RPG site", just as I was getting my online presence reinstated. So far, I like it here, because there haven't been overlapping conflicts or extreme trollings/troll feedings (except maybe for Pundit), and even when it's there, it's about games.

Let's just say when I have the opportunity to talk about games, I'd rather not have the fucktard quota of other boards. And when I look at ENWorld's general forum, I see maybe a handful of threads I'm interested in, some of which are so overposted that it's almost useless to try and keep and as well as get a nice discussion going. When I look here, it's not that I see that many more interesting threads, but in comparison to how many threads there are at all, it's a much better quota, as well as more likely worth posting in.

I've been a regular regular member of Nutkinland, Damnation Army, that hippie site that was there for a while and Nothingland.  I come with the fixtures.  There will always be a SmokestackJones at these places.  And that will be me.

I lurked the original NKL back in the day, hell, I might have even posted a few times.  I certainly wasn't part of the community or anything but I'm still fond of the place. When I heard there was a new NKL, I came straight over!  I suppose I should have registered as something other than Nikchick, and then I could rage around as an anonymous entity without having to deal with people associating me with my job.  But whatever, I'm here and "out" now, and for lack of anything interesting ever happening on any of the general gaming boards I used to read, I'm plenty happy and amused to become a regular.

Now if we could only get a lot more folks here to talk about M&M... :alfred:

I knew about, and posted very occasionally on the previous incarnations of Nutkinland, and I've always liked it, and this current incarnation I like so much I don't even check out any other boards except the True20 forum anymore.

I come here as a NTL refugee, but I'm still somewhat active at ENWorld. Since this site started, I've mostly initiated threads here rather than there, though.

I stay here because the site has some fun arguments that mostly don't seem to devolve too much into Hypersmurfean minutia (nothing against Hyp, but stretching D&D rules to their silliest extents isn't something I do on a regular basis).

One of the nicest things for me, at least right now, is the random grab bag of people we have.  Sure, there's a slight majority of people from former incarnations of the board, but there are a lot of people from all over the place.  I like how all the new blood is sparking new conversations.

I especially like that the Forgites are here.  While they *do* have an unhealthy fascination with soap opera, they aren't the baby-eating mouthbreathers I thought they were.  They're downright interesting.

So is RPGPundit, when he's not too busy taking himself seriously.

I find that that applies to most people.

:hmm:

Seems to me I've been saying that for a while, now.

I'm here, as everywhere, to babble about shit, and then listen.  And then babble some more.

You've never seen Levi when he gets his lecher mojo on. He's, like, twice as tall as Finaira and waaay older and when he starts gnawing on her head.... I mean, they call it kissing, but I KNOW THE TRUTH!

I like the idea of coupling serious discussion with the occasional thrown squeaky toy when people take themselves too seriously. It makes for interesting, dynamic threads. Plus, there aren't a bazillions posts and threads running around that I can't be bothered to keep track of. Admittedly, it's possible that NKL will keep growing until the posts start to fly everywhere, but I'm hoping it'll stay down to a manageable level.

Either that, or this place will eat my brains.

Doesn't that violate the Internet Code of Conduct?!?!?!?!!?!?  :deviousgrin:

I'm trying to prevent boredom and insanity.
My own first, other second.
I'm selfish that way

But also cause I write games, and dream of writing more, and like to see what others thing, dream, say, do, believe, argue, discuss, pedant over, and so forth.

I'm here because this is where I heard the Spongebob porn was kept. So far, all I've found is Sandy Does Dallas.

I'll find a squeaky toy to do that with.  It'll be funnier.
