I just wanted to let everyone that is worried about the 'atmosphere' here in Gen Con to know I am trying to get it back to it's normal happy self.

I decided to create a new forum for just 'War' threads. Many have become sick of these posts flooding up Gen Con, and I kinda agree. I have also closed some threads due to possible flamewars. I can sense the stress level here is getting WAY too high--I understand why, with all that has been happening lately, but we need to relax, and take a deep breath.

I have never been this tough on posts before--this type of situation has never really gotten this bad (Almost maybe) but you need to know, I've been a webmaster for many many years, and know the steps it takes to lead the forum back to a better future, and out of the stressful, tense feeling of today.

I personally don't have a problem with anyone here, it's just been really hard lately--Mom is dying of Cancer, I have chronic back/hip pain, and just so much shit that is NEGATIVE.. And when I come here, I want to see more positive things... ya know?

You just got to trust me, we'll get through this! With each other, and with

's guidance.

So, I ask each of you to think twice before getting mad, or wanting to reply with a smart-ass remark--even if you are joking.. Some may take it the wrong way. And some people have been 'mean' to others in a 'vague' way--kinda like; the person getting the reply knows it's smart-ass, but anyone else won't.. just stuff like that, just kinda bite your tongue a little..

I will as well.. It HAS been stressful. For ALL of us, we just need to come together like we ALWAYS have, and try and have fun, read some of Father Bronze's posts and laugh our asses off..

PS: I'm not censoring anything. I don't do that.. If you ever see me close one of your threads, email me, and I will be glad to let you know why I did so. (I will try to reply to the thread before I close it with the reason from now on though)

Thanks guys, I really hope you understand. I am trying to do the right thing.
