Is there any interest in maybe picking a night a week and a game and a bunch of us pairing off into groups to either kill things together, each other, or whatever is entailed in some game?  I know a lot of us still end up grouping in Diablo 3 for example, but, just thinking something a bit more structured than the random spotting someone online and such.

So, I stumbled into this book in audiobook form.  It's pretty enjoyable with a decent cast of readers for different sections.  It's YA Science Fiction, so it might be too light for some people, and there's some YA tropes, but even as they rear their head they are not as dominating as they can be in other books.

It's done with a semi-unique format, documenting forum posts, video recordings, emails, etc that lay out the story for the characters.  So, if you haven't read it, i'd recommend giving it a look.  It was really enjoyable in audiobook form, and I also intend to order the dead tree versions as the dead tree versions are littered with drawings, diagrams and other interesting material.   As well, some of the text bits make a lot more sense when laid out versus being read to you.

If you have read it, chime in, I think it's one of my more favored listen/reads lately.

Edit: i suck at copying by-lines, evidently, despite the google search results, the book has two authors!

Standard stuff, just a query should we reorganize, or just port over the existing categories and boards from the backup?

So, to repair the longstanding decay, and rust, and other kruft.

I've reinstalled.  It's fresh, snappy, etc.  I'm working through things.

There may be a few issues here and there, please let me know.

You will need to re-sign up.

Issues of identity should it arise, should still be able to be resolved by communication through the backup forum which is 'fully' (hah!) operational, or at least as operational as it was before-hand.  Or should be anyways, I can't access that one at work, so will need third party confirmation.

I've been deleting 'odd' accounts as they come in, as I've yet to get recaptcha and various anti-spam measures installed yet.   I will be restoring old moderator accounts as they contact me.  This means, if you've signed up with an account that is a janky series of numbers and letters, and it's actually legit.  Woops.  I didn't recognize you and I killed the account.

I can also resolve things on a case-by-case basis through e-mail.  This will be much jankier, and I expect in most cases there's easier solutions.   Will update and spam as things come up.
