Guy here says it is worse then ever. I agree. Place is a farce now. No sympathy for any of it.

I go there to look up info on games, but I've been underwhelmed with the forums there for several years.  I just don't enjoy talking with most of the people there.  The largest amount of time I spent over there in the past 18 months was smacking around Wodin for being a dick in public again.

I love everyone because I'm just a huggable lovable guy like that.

Love, peace and grease.  :)

Yeah, it's a somewhat lackluster community. I'll occasionally post (mostly to point out how stupid the concept of a 'universal list of gateway games' is when it comes up every damn week), but I mostly use BGG for information and trades.

This should be your full-time job.

when you guys start paying me for it, sure.  Otherwise, I have to beg for free games from people to sell to support my kids.

Have you considered getting into begging for hardware? I hear you can get a handsome sum for used TrackIR setups...
