RudeDawg, you a newbie. I hardly think so. Seems like you've always been around. We love you.
I like Ironworks because: I have met some of the nicest people on this Board and everyone seems to be considerate of other's opinions on the variety of subjects we discuss here. I also think it's a learning process for me as I find this group so very diverse and not a day goes by, that I don't learn something about someone living in another area or another country and I find this very fascinating. Plus, there is no other board like this anywhere.
I actually stumbled upon Ironworks one day after I started playing my first D&D game, Baldurs Gate 2. The BG2 forum was so very helpful, I was truly amazed at how fast I was able to get help for whatever problem I was encountering. I had never really checked out the other forums on Ironworks and one day, someone invited me to join the general discussion forum. I stopped by and haven't left.
