...I have signed up here. (Thank DarkBlack for that, I voted for Boardgamegeek).
I have been playing wargames since my son was 8. That's about 30 years ago. I was born in the last millennium (1956), and am currently self-employed doing the best job in the world - I play board games and table-top games to build children's confidence in a low-confidence, high unemployment area of England. I am also a magician, puppeteer and have an honours certificate in ventriloquism. In fact, I wrote this whole piece without moving my lips.

...well this one might not be here for much longer either, but what the hell?

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Welcome to...Dakka Dakka?

Sorry to hear that - what's happening?

Welcome to the forum bud. Your job sounds like great fun and very rewarding, well done to you sir!

Enjoy your stay.

Heh. I am not sure that anything is happening - just some dark humour because of the general dying off of fora as a mode of communications.

Welcome! I am happy to see more Kings of War players around. Really interested to find some good Siege rules for that game.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

all over the welcome posts for who knows what reason.

He's got the kavorka in him. He's trying to make himself less irresistible.

I say, welcome P. Cooper. Having a forum with players of many different games makes for a better forum. Enjoy your stay here.

Puppeteering is all right. No mime stuff though. Mimes make me psychotic.

It is - dare I say it? - a...mystery!

Whenever someone suggests that I visit their facebook feed instead of a forum for broad exchange of ideas, I tell them to take that **** and ****ing shove it ****ily up the ***** ****** of their *** with a pointy ****** rusted ****pickle. Which is also why I have so many friends. Except on facebook.

...and there's no surer sign of the Impending Apocalypse then the return of Dashofpepper...

Enjoy talking to yourself, then. Everyone says facebook is so awful, but visit the KoW facebook group sometime - there is probably about five times as much activity there as on Mantic's soon to be deceased forums and this place put together. Narrow focused and manufacturer specific forums are dying. That's just a fact.

...good thing Dakka Dakka isn't really narrowly focused OR manufacturer specific then, right?

I mean sure, a lot of people do come here to talk about GW stuff, but it isn't mandated, and the discussion will go where...The People...take it!

Oh, what was that?!?

The lights...flickering?

I'm sure it is just a momentary hiccup in the power grid.

Nothing else!

Nothing more....ominous.
