Dear Ravenloft fans,

I know many of you are already members of the Fraternity of Shadows, but for those who don't, you are invited to join our friendly Ravenloft fan boards (see my signature). It's fun, lively and host 100% RL discussions. Some great RL authors are also blessing us by their presence.

For those who started threads here, you are invited to repost them at the FoS - we often collect interesting material to host them on our site for posterity.

Long live Ravenloft!

Joël

Amen to this. FoS is the online equivalent of the friendly speakeasy tavern you've been looking for. Plus the people there are not only very creative, they're also polite to newcomers... an online rarity in this day and age.

Way I see it, the community was asked its opinion, we spoke, and they did this to the boards anyway.

They already know what needs to be done to fix the boards so they are usable by the community. Until they fix the boards, we are better off using something that does what we need it to do.

QFT. Call me a rat because I'm abandoning this sinking ship.

A better term in this analogy would be "skuttled".

Accurate indeed!

Also, please feel free to visit The Piazza and join the Ravenloft discussions there as well.

I don't know nautical terms. I do know the Other Worlds is a hopeless mess and the FoS is my best bet. And Piazza. I'll check them out, if only to see what else is out there.

Scuttle is a term that basically means self-destruct, but without so many explosives. If a captain gives an order to scuttle the ship, he wants the crew to make the ship turn ninety degrees straight downwards.

That was a rhetorical statement. As for this board...is there a term for when the crew inadvertantly sinks the ship because of serious mistakes? Or is that covered by "snafu" and "FUBAR?"

I (tried to) join a while ago and got some e-mail saying that my account needed activating by management or something and they'd e-mail me back. Still hasn't happened.

Sorry, but that e-mail address is already registered to a user.

[EDIT] Oh, wait. I think something just happened. I'm good. Awesome stuff.
