As with Steve, I don't tend to use a pseudonym of any sort. I am who I am, for good or ill (probably ill!).

I will refrain from shameless plugs and just say "good luck!" with the forums. There are advantages to the mailing lists, but I have warmed up to web forums a bit in the last 6 years or so. Just remember to do a database backup fairly regularly, so that you don't lose things.

Maybe I'm just old but I've always seen it as a sign of maturity just to use my name rather than some grandious handle.

Being a big Conan and Norse mythos fan, I just had to call myself Thorgrimm after the Conan nemesis. And when I use the short version I go by the Norse diety I like the best, Thor. :D

We'll see how it goes. Everyone seems to be posting here now but I know one or two prefer the Yahoo group. There are advantages and disadvantages to this forum but it seems a lot cleaner in terms of formatting and prevents the off-topic and large quotes problems.

The only issue I have so far is that if I don't have time to reply to emails I can read them and then mark them unread. With this forum, you can look at messages that have been posted since you last visited but there is no way to make them 'unread' if you don't have time to reply.

On balance though, the advantages seems to outweigh that disadvantage.

I've used this handle everywhere, so here seems appropriate as well.

Real name is Craig Barnett, and I've been playing starfire as far back as the little ziplock books in the 80's. I've been away a bit recently, and feel the need to get back into my favourite game of all time.

The emails that went out were an automated process, with default messages. I promise no one will get deleted unless that is their wish, or they start spamming for viagra or other stuff.

I have since changed the content of the messages. The purpose is to remind people who may have forgotten or don't visit. Not to browbeat people into posting or be deleted. If anyone who received one of the emails wishes to discuss it, email me and we'll talk it out.
