Not much, maybe a new Butterfly Dreams and Stranger Things thread could be started

Are they afraid? Maybe one should put up a sign in the BG and BG II sections (among others) saying DON'T BE AFRAID TO COME TO THE GENERAL DISCUSSION SECTION WE DON'T BITE cause i think it is really fun here and these people are missing something.

yeah come on over here! we need fresh meat!

thats how i was when i first got here... i was never a newbie on this forum, having learned everything about UBB forums i needed to at bgdungeon, but i was afraid of ppl here in the GD forum. i posted my intro thread, then retreated to the bg2 forum for a long time until the topics got repetetive... and now im all over the place (if i have the games). so you see, newbies go to other areas of the forum, but they all wind up here in the end... like Homer said, 'Blue M&M, Red M&M, they all end up the same color in the end...'

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

I'm a newbie and not planning on going anywhere!

Good for you Liliara. You've got 45 posts already?! Not bad!

Lifetime, I know how you feel. Heck, I was a mod with 800+ posts when I first wandered into GD and I felt like a newbie!

Cloudy, it sounds like the "Welcome Wagon" needs to make another tour of the realm!

Cheers,
