QUOTE(McBadgere @ Dec 17 2013, 09:56 PM)  I just gotta ask something...As I'm in the mood to... I've mentioned politely, a couple of times now about the swearing... Kobby and a couple of others are all fine and dandy about the [censored] thing... I've never entirely agreed with its use, personally, but I understand why it's there... But I almost got a warning about avoiding the auto-censor by blocking out the letters with **s... In fact, I'm sure that Kiln and Acadian remember well enough the row that we got into... So, how comes now, now we're all allowed to swear every post?... I've seen it a few times...And while we're - for the most part - adults and we swear in RL...This bit is a general public forum, and Impy at least is still a minor... The rules say no swearing, no avoidance of the auto-censor...And while it was ignored by Starge at the time I mentioned it to him...I've been a mod/General Mod/Admin on several forums and even I'd be having a word about the swearing by now... Cut it down guys...It's just looking stupid... There have been some changes to the autocensor (obviously) over time. Several mods/admins discussed the autocensor and some relatively harmless words have been intentionally removed from the naughty list. Part of this was due to the extremely strict censor. Harsher profanity is intended to be caught by the filter but obviously the system is not perfect. Just use your judgement here guys, if it seems like it might offend someone, use a more appropriate word. For instance, the word "bastard" is acceptable in fan fiction to describe swords and fatherless children but not as a title for fellow forum members.  QUOTE(Dantrag @ Dec 18 2013, 12:40 AM) What's up, old friends? Also looking forward to meeting some new ones! Glad this place is still kicking. I see people are beating my post counts and everything! Anyway, I've been pretty busy lately, I work 6+ days a week at a bar/restaurant to pay my bills. Still playing music - my band just put out a demo in November, got a full-length coming soon, playing lots of gigs, so I'm psyched about that. Anyway, hoping some of the old people might still be around? Minque, Lord Revan, Jack Cloudy, Colonel Mustard, urienashtram, Tellie? i miss you guys. If you guys got a good RP going I'd be down to join that, too. Welcome back Dantrag. It is good to see you around again. Minque is still around, Trey and myself still frequent this place and there are several new faces as well.  -------------------- He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.

I plan on stopping by more. @Liz - good to meet you! Also I'm pretty sure all RP circles have a disproportionate ratio of males to females.

It is a scientific fact (not really but most likely true) that there are more male gamers than female ones.

Back in the day, yea. Dark Elf Trilogy was my jam. I read all the other ones (except maybe the most recent ones?) but they never topped that little trilogy. I did like Dantrag's character though, even if he was a bit too much the cliche spoiled noble brat.
I feel old. I think I joined this site like 10 years ago, and haven't read Salvatore in forever. -------------------- "Its when murder is justice that martyrs are made"

I think you're referencing Berg'inyon Baenre there, Dantrag was the weapons master of House Baenre, and appeared in the Legacy series. Personally I always thought that segment was the best, though the one that followed it was dire. As you can see, I've clearly read them too many times. I've sort of lost interest with the newer ones though, the Neverwinter series. QUOTE(Dantrag @ Dec 18 2013, 07:27 AM) I feel old.

They are almost identical characters, though - driven almost solely by the idea of besting Drizzt. Berginyon just wasn't as talented/honorable. -------------------- "Its when murder is justice that martyrs are made"
