You are correct, Rikard, and it is available now, which is why we use it.
My point through all of this is that the board has IMPROVED. Using different forum software has helped, as having moderators to police the boards. That is in no way indicative of Ziroc's abilities as a forum owner. He did fantastic with what he had, and the fact that the boards were able to police themselves as well as they did back then is miraculous. Wizards & Warriors alone is a testament to the fact that we had a great community of people there then, and we still do. To this date, Wyvern has only had to remove one thread, and close two, due to "problems". With over 26,000 posts in that forum, that is an incredible track record. There were a lot of problems back THEN, and they certainly do not reflect upon any one of us here NOW. Nuff said. ------------------ |

Ahhh...the memories. I admit, I've been away for a while, but I really like the atmosphere of the new board. Back then, you could really offend people, completely unintentionally, just because of some of the role playing that was going on at the time. While, in some ways, the role playing was fun, in many ways, there were hard feelings, and sometimes, harsher words as well. Anyway, the old times were fun, but they were different from the new board. Both good, in their own way...

Them aside, most of the "flaming" posts have been friendly ones, like Rikard vs. Wah or Rikard vs. Azreall or Rikard vs. Nazgul or Rikard vs. Jerome or Rikard vs....er.... ------------------ |

Or Rikard vs. Saz? (j/k) Understood fully, Memnoch. Unfortunately, that is where most of the search results on a topic point to first, is to the December posts...which are riddled with the "Bagger"? stuff. It actually looked like the work of several people. Believe me, I have no desire to dredge that up. But, unfortunately, for a newbie to the BG2 game that's looking for information (and therefore doing a search), the search engine does pull those up first in the list...I guess it goes by chronological order from earliest to latest. ------------------ |

I think you're getting a wrong impression.. I was the only person 'modding' the forum at that time, and MAYBE Moggl too. But we were all friendly.. we did have the occasional 'idiot' but nothing like flamewars and such.. I quelled those RIGHT away.
