I found Ironworks in the same way as Reeka, though that was after the change to the brown and gold board, I remember heading directly for the BG2 forum and keeping away from all those other scary and unknown areas, then, at one time, someone on the BG2 board posted a link to a poll in the Polls forum, I was intrigued, since it seemed that this board had more to offer than advice on games, I didn't migrate off the BG2 board yet though, I stayed, and I RPed on the BG2 Bar and, after seeing that the people here were incredible social and knew each other well, I decided to move to the GD forum, which is now my "home" here on IW, I can remember that I was surprised by IW since it was so unlike the only other forum I had ever visited, which was plagued by flaming and a lot of hatred, even though it seemed as though it used to be a peaceful place, on IW, there was no flaming, there was no hatred, it was a peaceful place where I could rest, where I could chat, where I could have fun, the worst thing that I had ever encountered here prior to this War, was when Blademaster was angry at being called a munchkin player for some posts in the BG2 Bar, but that's changed, ever since the War began, I've seen flames, I've seen dislike, I've seen people leave because of this, and it saddens me, but one thing that Reeka posted here has made me think that, perhaps, IW will come through this:

Maybe we are going through some growing pains at the moment. But in time, I believe that is will pass, and Ironworks will be a stronger and better community because of it.

I hope that Reeka is right, and I believe that she is.
